Review summary

Can't wait for the next cruise. We want to do Christmas again next year.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We just got back yesterday from 12 day Panama cruise. It was wonderful! The food is the best in the world and the staff amazing! We have never cruised on an up scale line before and will never go back to the run of the mill. Something else, everything was included, dinner at all five specialty restaurants, internet, drinks, and airfare. When I added everything up it really makes it almost the same for a much superior product!!! I really enjoyed the fact that there were very few young children also. (don't hate me).

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The best in every area. Also the specialty dining is included in your fare. Everyone gets one or two reservations and then it is opened up to everyone for additional seatings. We loved it so much and went back many times to Red Ginger. I am not big on the main dining rooms, but love the buffets. We had lobster almost every night!!!!

We just went onto the dock and rented a taxi. For $30 each (2) he took us to both canals and quite an interesting tour of places. We are not into excursions so this was plesant!

You clear customs on board the day before arrival so when you get to port you just walk off! Way to go
