Overall, this was a great cruise. We enjoyed many of the activities on the ship, especially the entertainment, and we enjoyed our three excursions. We would hesitate to recommend this trip to others.

Ship tip
Unfortunately, the theater is a bit small, so if you want to see a show, get there early, because it fills up quickly.
The city was much more advanced than I had imagined, however, we spent all of our excursion in the historic district. The tour was okay, but we were besieged with people selling stuff everywhere we went. That became annoying.
Our excursion took by bus to Panama City on the west coast, which was a very nice tour. We only reembarked in Colon. Colon is pretty much a port/industrial city, and is therefore not very tourist-friendly.
The tour we took was very nice, but it was a little disheartening to see how many homes and businesses were protected by walls with razor wire or electrified fencing.
The entire process moved along very smoothly. We left the ship close to our assigned time, we found our luggage easily, and we moved through Customs quickly. Since we docked a a different pier from where we laft, we were dreading the shuttle back to the parking garage, but the shuttle bus was outside waiting, and got to our car quickly.
