Review summary

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.

Ship experiences

5 out of 5

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Very entertaining shows. Worth going to as many as you can.

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.

Ports of call

Cartagena, Colombia

4 out of 5
Did a walking tour of the old city. It was interesting and informative. Enjoyed the tour as I learned a lot.

Colon, Panama

4 out of 5
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.

Puerto Limon, Costa Rica

4 out of 5
Enjoyed the train ride very much. The boat ride in the river was done on a previous excursion.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and efficient.

So nice to read your review 🙌 We have booked 16 nights and have room 3062 and if you don’t mind answering, did you have rough sea during your cruise? What was the motion in the room since we have only been on the Alure on the 14th floor which is much bigger ship than Serenade.
