We chose this cruise because it would cover the Thanksgiving Holiday. We have already done a Panama Canal trip but had not gone all the way to the Pacific Side. Embarkation was a a surpprising "snap" The ship was in excellent condition for a ship the age of this one. and very clean The food was good,with nice menus. The Lido was not terrific for any meal accept for breakfast. The thing we noticed most from past trips with Holland was the lack of music in the bars at cocktail time,as well as very little live music around the ship during the day. The crows nest seemed to have a continuous tape that played over and over. Entertainment other than the HAL group was mediocre at best. Fresh flowers were hardly seen. As always the crew and all servers could not have been nicer. Beverages seemed to be priced fairly.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Ocean-View Verandah Stateroom

Cabin VC

The cabin was the smallest that we have been in on any ship ever. Particularly annoying was that although there were shelves in the closet where you could put folded garmens etc. there were no drawers at the Desk/dressing table which ment that all "beauty supplys" were on the top always and in the way. In general, this cabin was really tight. I would not book this category again.

Port Reviews

Corinto

We took a very nice tour off the boat with a private company. Very interesting and reasonably priced.

Puerto Quetzal (Antigua)

Took a private company tour. Very difficult walking in antiqua which was quite a distnce from the port

Cabo San Lucas

It's a nice port with lovely shopping .
