We are so glad we did not book an excursion but stayed on the ship during the 3 licks in the canal. We had the ship for ourselves and were able to take beautiful pictures all day long.

Entertainment
5 out of 5
The show on the last evening of the cruise was different from the regular entertainment as it told a beautiful story. The secret silk - an inspiring plot with amazing art work portrayed by wonderful performers!

Ship Quality

Took us a week to get the command of the ship. Till then we did a lot of extra miles ;)
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Surprisingly the view was hardly obscured. Since it was the last cabin at the aft we enjoyed the nice view but the drawback was the noise and vibration from the engines.
Right after leaving the ship we strolled through a tiny rain forest and admired colorful birds, monkeys, anteater and even a sloth! Then I wish I had just taken a taxi and explored this exciting old city on my own instead of bei g cramped in an uncomfortable van with a guide who hardly spoke English!
So glad we stayed on the ship as most people left for excursions. We had full roam of the ship and thoroughly enjoyed the experience of the canal through 3 locks forth and back.
The ride in the cramped van to the 7 mile beach costs only 5$ per person. How crowded the beach is depends on how many ships are in port. Note to myself - next time just go to Senior Frog or Margaritaville!
