We choose this cruise mostly for the itinerary and especially for Panama Canal and Acapulco. Acapulco was cancelled 2 weeks before the cruise started and was replaced with Puerto Corinto, Nicaragua - big disappointment.

Another big disappointment was the embarkation process that took us over 2hours, with queues till security, then till the counters and finally to the ship. There was no real organization of this flow, everybody just hoped that at the next corner the queue will end....The longest and annoying embarkation we ever had...Unfortunately we had the same frustrating experience on disembarkation, when people actually lost connection flights because of the delay (the earliest hour announced for disembarking was 8.00 and actually it was 9.15am).

The ship was neat, british style, conservative, with a lot of bars and restaurants and only 2 small to medium pools. The promenade or the shops area was reduced to 4 shops and an art gallery where you can find some perfumes and clothing, poor compared to Royal Promenade on Navigator of the Sea or Star Princess.
