Review summary

The Cruise experience was great. The only bad thing is that the port in Costa Rica and the port in the Panama Canal did not have much to see. In Panama I strongly recommend that you take a tour of the city.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Embarkation was kind of chaotic. The cruise before us came in late so they delayed embarkation. He took a long time to get on the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The restaurants had great food 90% of the time. The buffet had more variety kind of got repetitive after a few days of going there for lunch.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

There was an awful lot of trivia which I found repetitive. However it was fun. We had a port that was canceled so we had three consecutive sea days. That was a little boring.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The shows were mostly singers. The Disco was pretty good the DJ was pretty good.

Children's Programs

no kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

I was very impressed about the cleaning procedures. Also they were very good at encouraging Mask use.
