Review summary

Loved it! Would sail on it again!

Ports of call

Cartagena, Colombia

3 out of 5

It was very, very hot and we joined another couple in taking a cab to the old city. Very interesting but we might have been better off taking a ship's tour. It was very hot and we really didn't know what to see. Many street people selling aggressively!

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

We had a fabulous day at Sandals, on the beach and in the pool - all food and drink included. A great last day in port before leaving for Florida.

Don't Miss: Take the optional transit of the Canal into the Pacific - experience of a lifetime!

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5

I went to the beach - it was great! But I would have liked a whole day there, not just a morning.

Puerto Limon, Costa Rica

5 out of 5

We took the bus tour to San Jose, which was fascinating in itself but also took us out of the rain forest into the sun and we had lunch at a very lovely restaurant
