Review summary

Panama Canal Excursion and then passing through the canal the next day were the highlights of the cruise.We met some great people and made good friends ( if we keep in touch.)The staff and us became good friends too and we were well taken care of. We frequented the Colonnade and the deck grill.They loved me because I had a word or a joke for everyone of them and generally kept them in good spirits and in turn they did the same. They looked forward to us eating with them and knew when we went to some other restaurant. The square staff was very good too, sweet and welcoming (always) providing us a quiet coffee or tea with a fantastic assortment of cakes and pies whenever we showed up. The office staff was great and took care of everything that we needed. I was able to complete two significant chapters in my book with their help and encouragement. The entertainment staff and guest speakers were very good too and we became good friends and hope to stay in touch.

Great cabin. Very good stewardess. Was well taken care of by Kudznia who even surprised me when she decorated our room for my birthday on the 4th of january.

Ship tip

The restaurant staff did a great job-- hard working, well trained. Be nice to them. Ship has v g laundrettes. Travel light like we did ( 2 bags, 1 duffel (carryon type), 1 small backpack, 1 ladies hand bag.) Extra luggage pieces make accommodation that much smaller! Mountains of luggage shocked us.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida
