Review summary

Excellent crew. Very relaxing trip. Great food. Unfortunate weather.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

There was confusion when getting on the ship due to the group catagories - we we told since my wife and I had a scooter and walker, we’re were to go in first. The lady allowing people to board didn’t agree and was not very happy with us for asking to board.

Very good. However, parts of the floor were soft and not level. It made it difficult for using my walker or cane.

Did not like placement of dining room. It was very confusing and inconvenient on Deck 6.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Very good for my wife’s scooter and my walker. Appreciated the bathroom space especially. Also appreciated having an extension cord provided for my sleeping machine and wife’s CPAP. HOWEVER - more electrical out let are needed.

Ship tip

Go with great expectations and choose a different dining room.

Didn’t go as there was a 40-50 minute bus ride into town. This was not mentioned in the description. There also appeared to be a very long wait line to even board a bus. A huge negative rating for the LaPaz stop.

It’s ok. Really nothing there except the beaches, which we did not visit.
