This was a great cruise to see the Panama Cabal with a few other good stops along the way. The food was great and plentiful and it seemed a good value for the cost.

The staff was wonderful. The one exception was most of the wait staff on the Lido deck, it was a little hard to get drinks and refills.

The ship was clean but old. It's getting an upgrade soon we were told.

The room was spacious, for a cruise cabin, and comfortable.
