Review summary

The ports of call were the best part of the cruise . The cabin stewardess could have been better.  Seemed like maybe she was new, don't know.  The buffet food was okay, we figured out that the dining room for breakfast was better.  I think they need a better description of their tours, old & new Panama was a bit deceiving .   should have said the ruins of old Panama.  The cruse line should have also taken into consideration that it was Independence Day in Panama. We were pretty much in the way of their parade with our tour guide trying to talk to us, we couldn't hear him & thank goodness we didn't speak fluent Spanish, they were probably cursing us for being in the way.  Poorly planned!

Once we found them, Aleksandra, Leo & Yurly were great.

I was really disappointed. My booking agent called, explained that my husband and I use a C-Pap machine and needed to know if we needed to bring our own extension cords. Melanie called, they told her no, it was added to our order as well as the distilled water. We arrived and had nothing! I asked for both, she said oh, I'll get it for you. We received water only. She told us there were no extension cords. My husband needed his machine more than i, so he had his plugged in. I did not receive an extension cord until the evening of the 5th or 6th day. That is not good especially since it was ordered months before the trip.a
