We chose the cruise through the Panama Canal because it had an ittinery that attracted us.

The shows were the BEST that we have seen on any cruise line

The LINES to get to things were bad- we waited 2 3/4 hours to get on the ship, and were not offered a place to sit and wait. The theater is really too small for the number of passengers on the ship. To get a seat we had to be at the theater AT LEAST 30 min before show time and 45 min would be better. We had "anytime dining" - they require reservations for anytime except 5 o'clock. Meanwhile, you can not make reservations until the morning of your dinner. You can not go to the restaurant to make reservations, you must phone them, which would be OK except for the busy signals and whenever you get through, evan as early as 8:15 AM the earliest reservation given was 7:45. The phone line doesn't open until * AM

Very clean water- I think in another 10 years this will be a destination

Puerto Vallarta

This is the one place that we would like to go back to again.
