Review summary

We booked a cruise that left from and returned to Colon Panama because we thought the ports were more interesting than the usual crowded places. No one told us that 95% of the passengers were from Panama and Columbia and only spoke Spanish. So there were few friends for my kids, all the announcements and evening SHOWS were in Spanish as well. Bingo too- hard to play. We had few other families we could socialize with- a disappointment for my kids.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The dining room food was OK. Service was great, but the food varied- some very good, some inedible. Buffets tried, but were not laid out as nicely as other ships we have been on.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

We were hysterical when we saw Charo on the boat- but turned out to be such a good show- so fun and the singers and dancers put on an amazing show- costumes, sets etc. The last show as a funny comedian then the most bizarre and awful guy came on that did shadow puppet on a screen. We were cringing.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone was very nice and helpful.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

This is a small ship and is clean, but no luxurious or updated. Also being small- it didn't have the 'main street' or may spectacular public places.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

We had a lovely suite- size good, but not updated in decor. No flowers or fruit, but that funny cute towel animal at night.
