Review summary

Overall, had a pleasant cruise. Sea days were the roughest we have ever experienced. One evening we had a 78 knot wind hitting us broadside, which resulted in a 9degree list - that was not pleasant!

Embarkation

1 out of 5

We did not have a pleasant embarkation experience. The bus was hot from airport! The boarding process was very disorganized.

Great Cruise, but lacking fun on the ship

Going thru the Panama Canal was extremely interesting and enjoyable. The rest of the cruise would have been nice to dispense with.

Disappointment
