We will not go on an older ship that’s clear. Admittedly , Our expectations have changed. We also will be sure to thoroughly research ports of call, asking pertinent questions of travel agents, etc. again at this cruise, other than the fact that we were on a boat was extremely disappointing, and in our opinion, a waste of money.

Service and Staff

Specific dinning staff were wonderful , engaging and helpful room steward was fantastic.. we did notice some Maître d’ staff focused only on certain customers ignoring us entirely… well that is until we “ made them speak”
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Old ship .. where the atrium was not utilized to it’s fullest potential .. entertainment there was great .. however having huge blocks of time devoted to FOOTBALL ..WAS UPSETTING .. super sexist and not entertaining at all .. we left a message to the staff person regarding our concerns but never even heard back ..l even more concerning and upsetting
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
We were upgraded to a balcony
Ship tip
Be mindful that this Itinerary is strictly focused at those who use shore excursions excursions. If not, you are relegated to waiting until those are done and or getting off and having absolutely nothing to do. We were unaware that two ports Panama in Belize fit this description we would not have taken this cruise. Had we known this in the beginning it felt like money, wasted.
Going partially through.. learned a few things.. however sitting stationary in the lake for hours was .. let’s just say less than desirable. Before heading to Rendezvous point. Which was a waste ! Colon “ is NOT A TOURIST SPOT” we were even advised by staff at the desk to not even get off the ship ( hide valuables, be ultra careful) we did get off for the “ 2 hrs” we were allowed just to finally touch terra firma…
How is devoting time to football sexist? Oh and the World Cup was on at the time, if that’s the football you’re talking about, so hardly surprising there would be a bit of focus round it.
Researching the ports and the ship is important. Lowered expectations is the key to enjoying a cruise currently. The standards on all cruise lines are less than they were previously.
