Cabin: Large Interior Stateroom
We choose this cruise for the Panama Canal, which was an excellent experience. But the ship either needs three months in drydock for upgrades or to be target practice for the Holland Navy.
The AC did not work in many staterooms. It usually was the discussion at dinner. It also either was not working in various public areas or they had the temp set in the mid-70s. Maybe for the Canadian sailings out of Boston that is fine but in the tropics it was pretty tough, especially for a more mature clientele.
There were numerous water leaks from the galley on Deck 7 down to cabins on Deck 6. One couple we knew was moved because the water was so deep. The elevator bank was flooded and out of commission for one day but had a musty smell the rest of the journey.
Cabin Review
Large Interior Stateroom
Cabin I
The interior cabin was bigger than our interior cabins on Carnival and Royal Caribbean. It even had a sofa, which mad it seem like a suite to us. The room staff was excellent. It's also around the corner from the self-serve laundermat and the Deck 5 gangway.
Port Reviews
Aruba
Spent the day at Eagle Beach. A local bus, right off the entrance to the pier, will get you there and back for $5 RT. It's a 5-10 minute ride on a modern bus.
Grand Turk
The beach besides the dock is one of the clearest water you will ever see. Access, beach chairs and umbrellas are free.
Puntarenas (Puerto Caldera)
There is nothing in the port other than to watch the boats load cargo.
Puerto Quetzal (Antigua)
Antigua was excellent. A great place to experience the true nature of the county.
