Review summary

The Seder Dinner and ceremony was the best.  Granted I am not Jewish but it was well done!  Our cabin steward "Ginalyn" was wonderful, would love to have her on every Princess cruise.  So very helpful!  Good food, well presented, mostly a wonderful taste.  

The only negative was the one excursion in Panama to the new locks!  What a major waste of time. Seeing one ship go into the new locks okay but wait for over 90 minutes.  Then to wait for other passengers to finally show up 30 minutes later!  Then a ride through old housing area!  No place to eat on this tour except chips and soda.  Tour guide was no help, would not recommend using him again.
