Review summary

Panama 🇵🇦 Canal was awesome!! Our stop in Columbia was interesting and beautiful!!

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Check in was 11:30 AM - perhaps everyone chose that time!! Just about a hour and 20 to get through the lines. Seemed disorganized.

Thoroughly check out your excursions we were very disappointed in our excursions one day we even left two hours plus late. Asked for a refund and almost was laughed at Norwegian blames third-party third-party blames Norwegian we were stuck in the middle!

Disembarkation

1 out of 5

Horrible disappointing- long lines wrapping around deck 7. At some check points no staff was there to direct where to turn. Never experienced this before!! We were in the group to carry off our own bags which wasn’t hard for us but many seniors unable to move the line about.

Best blackberry smash at the whiskey bar!! Beautiful dessert at the French restaurant and a awesome shrimp cocktail at Cagney's.

The Beatles were super fun!! The band members are talented and encouraged singing along on most songs!!
