Chose cruise for the Panama Canal Transit. Explored Los Angeles prior to cruise. Getting on and off cruise ship went well. Did a disembarkation tour with drop off at Miami Airport. Would highly recommend as didn't have to spend all day at airport prior to flight. Small ship only 670 passengers but not too small and still lots of activities. Service, cabin, dining, entertainment all excellent. Ports and shore excursions all good. Didn't travel with children. Activities were offered for children but seemed limited. Only noticed 2 children on cruise, feel Pacific Princess more suited to adult cruising owing to its size. This ship offers a more intimate style of cruising. Would highly recommend this ship and cruise.
Was nice to really get to know the staff and saw the Captain and his other Officers around the ship lots talking to us and other passengers. Which made the experience even better.
Suite was fantastic. Only down side was wooden outdoor furniture which was old and in need of re staining or replacing as very faded and paint stain on one of the cushions.
