We chose this cruise because of the port of departure and the destination (Tampa to Panama Canal with ports of call in Costa Rica and Grand Cayman Island).
Embarkation and disembarkation went very smoothly. We had a fantastic time. We loved the ship. It's beautiful and has a cozy, warm charm to it. The food and service were superb.
We especially enjoyed the Alterr Band in the Red Frog Pub who were terrific with their excellent performances of classic rock hits, especially lead guitarist, Sonny!
Enjoyed having the extended balcony, although a regular balcony would have been fine. From our cabin, however, we overlooked the lifeboats several decks down. But having a balcony is definitely the way to go!
As for cabin itself, it seems a bit dated as far as decor, but there was plenty of room for all of our clothing, personal items. It was very quiet, with comfortable bed and linens.
