Cabo is a tender port, but it's a short ride. All I wanted to do was find an inexpensive internet venue, and I succeeded. It was our first port and I found the vulture-like atmosphere of all the local vendors to be sad. We missed seeing the arrival into port, from the ship, but the sail-away was fabulous. The "harbour" or whatever it is really is beautiful. 


Cabo San Lucas

I have to give Acapulco a 5 b/c we took a private tour with a wonderful tour guide. We enjoyed the cliff divers very much and then a breathtaking view of the entire harbor, and our tour included the Peace Chapel, as well as a half hour to wander around a lovely resort. We had scheduled quite a bit of time at the end of the day to arrive back to the ship, and an optional visit to the fort. Although we found ourselves in quite the little traffic slow-down, because we had given ourselves so much leeway in our return time, never did I wonder if we'd be in any risk of missing the ship. After we left our tour, I used the internet for almost two hours and Mr. B. went out walking in search of a supermarket to find a soup that is apparently only sold in Mexico. Unfortunately, he was exposed to many homeless women and children and he found it VERY sad (way worse than my reaction to Cabo). Yes, he found the soup. 



Acapulco

Cristobal Pier was at the end of the canal transit for us and not only was their internet "down" but I found the shops crowded with merchandise so I had trouble focusing at all. Perhaps that's because I was annoyed that the internet was "down"! 
We didn't take the taxi ride into town (Colon) to find the internet or do any further shopping, although Mr. B. had more patience than I did and he found a great t-shirt at the pier. 




Colon (Cristobal)

Here I only wanted to do one thing: the internet. It was fine, once I learned the drill (buy ticket, closer to ship, go use the 'net, further away). The shopping, however, seemed quite lovely and I almost bought something! 
Many folks seemed to enjoy their tours and also do a lot of shopping. 


Cartagena (Colombia)

CC cabin 8068 is fine, totally fine.  We had enough room, we didn't hear much noise, we had a choice of walking a short distance to the far forward stairs and elevators or a little bit longer distance to the midship stairs and elevators, depending on where we were going.

The cabin steward's cart was across from our doorway but that didn't bother us at all.

[I have attached port reviews, but Huatulco and Puntarenas aren't listed as choices, so I'll just say that Puntarenas is a 12-hour port day b/c it takes so long to get to all the good sight-seeing, and Huatulco has a pretty little beach area right by the dock, and a town with good shopping, a mile away from the port.]At one point when we were waiting for one lock to open -- and we had progressed so we were VERY close to the lock, which would open towards us -- a captain's crew member went in front of the ropes at the very front of the helipad and peered over the rail, then spoke to somebody in the bridge room, which we could see above us (deck 9?
