Review summary

Favorite part of the cruise was spending time with family and friends; getting to meet great people. The majority of the staff were professional and upbeat.

The overall experience about going through the Panama Canal was informative. Despite the weather all of the ports we were able to stop at were nice to visit.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

There was always plenty of food to be eaten. We tried several of your specialty dining options, they were all good. My husband has a food allergy and we found Ma. Theresa Pepito who took very good care of him. She was very knowledgable about his allergy and guided him to the foods he could eat.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

we participated in a couple of the trivia games, they were fun and filled up some of the sea time.

Entertainment

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our room steward, Panfilo Salas, was also excellent; he was very attentive and provided us with everything we needed. Also, Govind Kumar (G-kay) at the bar was wonderful; every time we stopped at the bar he was at he remembered our group, was very personable, always had a smile and something to say -- wonderful guy!

It is Ok but the shows were more for adults than for families
