Sail Date: Feb 2016

As mentioned by others , intermittent sewage smells throughout cruise. Water problems in Cabin three times during cruise ( Dolphin deck 9).

Crew did not seem happy . Service for any time dining generally very poor, portions for starters seemed small, food quality only average, all fish dishes overcooked . I tried to discuss matters with Hotel Manager/ Chef but was told I needed to fill out a form !!

I gave up at this point, could have been filling out forms all cruise.

Port Reviews

Grand Cayman (Georgetown)

All as described, and enjoyed. Downside that dolphin photos were extortionate.

Grand Cayman (Georgetown)

crowded at sandbar site but still very enjoyable.

Cartagena (Colombia)

Small minibus with 10 passengers. Tour guide Marvely Pena-Hall excellent.

Booked online & payment in cash at end of tour.

Cartagena (Colombia)

Good with excellent city views & Included in City tour with Marvely Pena-Hall

Colon (Cristobal)

Rather than return through Panama locks took tour which returns you to ship at Colon. Saw howler monkeys at a stop during bus journey. Aerial tram good but very long ramp climb at the top for the views over the terrain ( not suitable for disabled people but it is optional)

Puerto Limon

Not much at Limon itself, and all tours very long, so stayed on board.

Ocho Rios

Cobaya ( now Konoko ) very disappointing especially having so many caged animals/birds.

Ocho Rios

Long way for a rope swing & swim . Even non-swimmers charged $10 entry, and water shoes needed ( hired or bought) . Poor value.

Ocho Rios

Uncrowded and like a secret garden. Good informative guide . ( no climbing of falls like at Dunns)
