This was a nice 10 day getaway. Relaxing and the weather was wonderful.

Embarkation

2 out of 5

The Cruise lines need to hold people accountable when arriving at their designated time. All showed up at once.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

All did their best. Not their problem that they are short staffed everywhere.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Ship needs a few upgrades especially when it is their designated world cruise ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Did not spend a lot of time in the cabin. As a solo traveler is was surprisingly convent. It was quiet and if you didn't mind walking down the hall, in a place that can reach all venues.

Ship tip

Be active and participate in all you can.

Did a walking tour of the old city. It was interesting and informative. Enjoyed the tour as I learned a lot.

Colon, Panama

Been here previously. Was disappointed in the tour as I must have misunderstood the description. Thought we were visiting the old locks but went to the new lock. Did that earlier.
