Review summary
When I think of Carribbean islands and Panama, I think of tropical jungles, thick and green. Our first stop in Aruba wasn't what we expected! It was very desert-like, cactus and all. That started the change of expectations for all the ports: They were not what we expected, but even better since they were different from expectations! The Panama Canal transition was great! I got up early to make sure I didn't miss a moment. With a balcony, we were in the "cat-birds seat." We may have to go again just to see what else we didn't expect to see!

Ship tip
This is my eighth cruise and eighth boat. The layout was the most confusing. I am glad the cruise lasted 15 days because it took me 13 days to keep from being lost!

Thanks for posting your first review here on the Website.
I really enjoyed reading that your cruise was excellent. Aruba is very arid. I have done the full transited the Panama Canal twice & will do so again next year. It is very exciting. I hope that you get to do it again, also. Thanks for your including your wonderful photos.
