Review summary
It was out first experience with free style dinning. The food good, we did visit a few of the restaurants. Buffet very cattle drive, which most are. I did not like having to find a place to sit and eat, most frustrating part.Loved the washy kids:}. Very impressed with cleanliness of ship. Espesially in Guatamale when I watched them wash the entire handrail off the ship.!!!! Loved Osheenans, my sanctuary. Ship seemed crowed to me. Both in the eating as well as the pool decks.Liked salt water in the pools. We enjoyed meeting new people and was surprised at the different countries represented. We did have very good conversation with the people we found to set with. We did enjoy the cruise as well as the crossing of Canal. Very interesting trip. No regrets, Everyone should do it, glad we had the opportunity to go thru original locks. Cruise director staff and the entertainment kids did a fabulous job. I'm old I can call them kids. Tours we handled very well. And our last tour and delivery to airport went perfectly. If you don't have a good time on a cruise it's usually your fault. So much to chose from. We even took advantage of the wellness classes. Neither of us gained any weight. And we ate and had cocktails....Good Job everyone.
