Was not impressed at all with the addition of Puerto Caldera, Costa Rica. We should have booked an excursion through the ship.....alas we ended up staying on the whip the whole day.
Considering we were on a cruise for 20 days......would have been nice to have a slightly bigger selection for the 3 main dining rooms.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining

Specialty dining was excellent, main dining rooms were very good, especially the Manhattan Room, and the buffet was as expected.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
The Art Auctions and Seminars were expecially fun.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Choir of Man was a very good show, would have been nice if there was another show, on a 20 day cruise!
Children's Programs
Didn't have children with us on the cruise.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Our steward, Augus, was wonderful, Sunshine in the Manhattan Room was extremely attentive and two bartenders were exceptional: John in A-List and Helio in McCallan's Whisky Lounge
The port is small, would have liked to see more of the rest of the town. The lunch we had in town, made up for the everything! We booked an excursion through a third party, to see the Arches, and it was terrific.
Puerto Vallarta has changed since we had last been there. We had a nice Birria Tour, which we booked through a third party. Also took their Hop On-Hop Off bus tour.
We had a very nice time in Panama City on the Hop On-Hop Off bus tour we booked through a third party. The stop at the Canal Locks was the highlight of the tour. Back at Isla Perico we had a wonderful meal at El Tablazo.
Even if our tour guide (Panoramic City tour booked through the cruise line) was a bit repetitive, Cartegena is a beautiful city. Not at all what I expected! I would go back again!
