We became really good friends with some of the servers. They always had a smile and we know they work long hours. We tried to let them know how much we appreciated them.

Ship tip
Always get s Lanai...it makes it so nice to nice to sit and watch people go by and watch the ocean.
We did an excursion and had a blast. We took catamaran to your bays and then went swimming in one of them...met really fun people. Totally enjoyed the day
The Panama canal was awesome.. everyone should see it.
The narrator was amazing. I wish they printed up s pamflet for passengers to have or purchase with many of the details to put with my pictures.bi can't remember all.
This was our favorite port. Loved the town with all the colorful buildings. The moving bridge.
We ate at sidewalk cafe for dinner. Had music ...very enjoyable..could our ship all lit up. Would consider vacation there. Had great excursion to liquor plant and beach.
We have never been on the Rotterdam but we did our Panama Canal cruise on the Oosterdam and really enjoyed it. We also just did a 7 day on the Oosterdam to Mexico right before they shut down.
