We chose this cruise because it was a full transit of the panama canal. The ports were good and the excursions were ok. The onboard production entertainment group was superior to most I have seen, The first 3 comedians were subpar. The food was very good from start to finish. The entertainment shows could have been spaced out a little better, Our cabin was clean and no problems other than subpar TV and programing.
Overall it was a good cruise. They still have a problem with a sewage smell in some of the hall ways by the elevators.
The guest lecturer Richard Detrich was very good. He had several lectures that were relevant to the ports and canal transit. he also had some that were entertaining on the history of the area and culture. The Spa was very good. But could not believe you had to pay to use the steam room. Since there was not a steam room connected to the exercise area.. The coffee bars were very nice and had great snacks.
Close to the center of the ship Starboard side. While the cabin was nice it was noisy weather it is engine or ventilation noise not sure. Also the TV remote is a joke and the selection of programs was terrible.
