Review summary
The entire cruise from the time I got on the ship till departure was an example of exceptional service. This was a Christmas cruise so there were more children than the ship usually gets. The staff was always coming up with activities. The dining was outstanding. This has spoiled me for sailing on bigger ships. I never felt rushed, crowded or lacked for things to do. The best part is that the ship doesn't stop at large ports so still got to see places as they are. Had to get used to wet landings in Zodiac but once you master that all is good. The only issue is that both the embarkation and disembarkation occur at shipping ports. The port in Colon is not it the best part of town and Panama has some strange rules on how they run their ports.
