Review summary

Very nice ship. Clean and elegant, but not a lot of activities. The shows were ok. From a scale between 1-10 "4.5" I was attracted to the Panama canal, but was not able to get the full experience.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
The best embarkation was to Ocho Rios. The Panama canal was cancelled due to bad weather.

Gymnasium

Very nice. About 10 treadmills, 4 bikes, a aerobics room, nautilus equipment, and free weights. Not a lot, but it works for a ship with 2100 people.
