Review summary

The weather was good. We did not stop in some scheduled ports. The covid test was required 48 hours prior to sailing, but they still tested you at the port and let you bord if you passed without the 48 hour pretest. Then we all had to retest before going Into the canal. On our excursion in Haultuco we had a near drowning, they need to do more research into the quality of the ship authorized excursions. There was no qualified CPR person on the crew of the catermeran.

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The food was not as good as before the pandemic. The head chef said it was supply chain issues. The menu was repetitive and not very good. Even the Pinnacle was sub par.

The cabin was ok for an older ship.They scheduled a time to clean the balcony, they did not do a very good job.
