We enjoyed our trip to the Panama Canal immensely. I had been reading all the reviews on Cruise Critic and our cruise was everything I expected and more. After a short ride from the Embassy Suites Hotel, our luggage was taken and we were on our way through the embarkation process which took about three minutes. We were escorted onto the ship and went to find the location of our table for dinner. We had a lovely table for four by the window. The vivacious Katherine, the concierge had made our reservations for both Chops and Portofino which we truly enjoyed.
We watched sail-away from our cabin on the hump which was truly awesome. This stateroom was in a great location a few steps from the concierge lounge and a few more steps to the elevator. Our room attendant Angela was new to that floor and she took excellent care of our stateroom. She was very efficient and was in and out in a flash. We had excellent servers in the dining room and our party enjoyed almost every meal that was served. We enjoyed our Meet and Mingle party which the cruise director directed, while giving out prizes and cracking jokes. The platinum, diamond luncheon was delicious and well attended.
Marty Allen was hilarious along with Karen Stone. We enjoyed the Coasters as well as the, stage reviews and so much more. You need to get to the theater early for good seats. We enjoyed dancing in the disco and late night buffets.
