Seeing the Panama Canal was very enjoyable.  It was very different than what i was expecting.  Once in a lifetime experience.  Enjoyed the tropical forest and animals in Costa Rica.  Overall cruise was great except for the 5 days at sea (10 day cruise)  Staff on the Pearl were fantastic !!!

Ship tip

The daily program included a good program for 20's/30' group. My son who just graduated from college enjoyed the experience. He met a lot of people in his age group and plans on keeping in touch with them.

I always wanted to go on a cruise around the holidays.  Perhaps i will once my grand kids are out on their own.

I like the idea that your college-boy had a good time. I also met a lot of collegial folks when I went on the same cruise November. The food was better than mediocre--some of it was hit or miss--except the chocolate desserts were delectable. Did you try the Indian dishes? Exceptional! Check out my videos and see if your experiences were anything like mine.
