Cabin: Balcony

Ship was extremely well managed. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was better than the average. Evening shows were mixed. Some very good shows and some were not so good. Ports visited were not as good as what we have experienced in the Caribbean. Embarkation in Miami was poorly organized and problematic. Disembarkation from San Pedro was much better and well organized. Management staff was always in view and ran a tight ship.

The Panama Canal experience was handled very well by cruise staff. Daily activities for sea days fell far short of what we have experienced on other ships.

Fitness equipment was average. Elliptical machines were not the best quality, However, extremely good channel selection on the cable on individual machines. Weights were way off in stated poundage.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Bathroom larger than some other ships. Average storage and space.

Port Reviews

Miami

Poor embarkation.

Puerto Quetzal (Antigua)

Volcano hike was very interesting. Quite a view on the top.

Puntarenas (Puerto Caldera)

Just walking around. Not much character in the port.
