Review summary

The cruise was fantastic, met a lot of nice people, lots of good food and was just an overall great experience.

Embarkation

We need a little help getting on and they left all the ones that needed help until almost everyone was on the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We normally have early assigned seating which we really enjoy. We enjoy sitting with the same people for dinner but on this cruise we weren’t able to get it. We ate in anytime a few times but mainly just ate in the buffet.

When you did the Panama canal cruise it says you need to get alot of vaccines. Did you have to do this?
