Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Cabin was just right. I only wish the light were LED instead of the old fluorescents. The lights gave me migraines and I could not turn them on for more than a few minutes.

Ship tip

Be aware that the entire ship is lit with fluorescent lights. These can cause problems for people with epilepsy and seizure disorders

Cartagena, Colombia

Safe and welcoming. Be aware that you will be panhandled. Just smile and say "No por favor" and they will not continue. The skyline looks like a little Miami. Make sure to visit the aviary near the docks. It has the most amazing group of rescued flamingoes and parrots I have ever seen. The birds will literally fly to you and some will perch on your shoulder. Very friendly. No cages or nets. The birds don't leave because they like people since they were rescued from private homes
