Review summary

Panama Canal Cruise was in addition to great sight seeing was equally relaxing. The service was outstanding. The entertainment on the cruise was  wonderful. I was amazed to see the shows which had talented artistes, many super fast set and costume changes and really entertaining. The number of activities for all interest groups was good.

They should offer more vegetarian choices and vary the menu items. Eating many of the items day after day gets old.

Ports of call

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Take private taxi for a 2 or 3 hour drive around the city it is cheaper and gives you more flexibility for going and coming back.

Huatulco, Mexico

5 out of 5

San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua

5 out of 5
Trip to watch the live Volcano is must. Again take a private Van for 10-12 people for better value and flexibility.

Puntarenas, Costa Rica

5 out of 5

Panama Canal Transit Did not visit port

Go early in the morning to get a better seat for most of the day to watch it from a higher perspective.

Cartagena, Colombia

5 out of 5
Do take the walking tour of the old town and get the flavor of the local food and people.

Oranjestad, Aruba

3 out of 5
The time on shore was not enough to go to the beaches. We only were able to walk the shopping strip full of jewelry stores and nick necks. Never got to see real Aruba.

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida
