As this was a time of celebration for the four of us - a 70th and 76th birthday whilst on board and a golden wedding in November we wanted something special and the Panama cruise seemed to fit the bill and the cruise down the Panama Canal didn't disappoint. We chose Celebrity X as we have always had good experiences in the past.
Just a few issuess:
DINING: At our usual table the staff were superb and met our every need. However, when seated at a different table the story was very different, we received no attention (this was the night of the 70th birthday), we were left without any wine for long periods of time and when we finally got someone to serve us drinks, wine from two different bottles were poured into the same glass! It was evident that there were favourite tables that full got attention, but we weren't among them. A very disappointing birthday. At table 216 the evening before when its was the 76th birthday we had a wonderful evening.
it was very tired, not good value for money. Settee was passed its sell by date, was shabby and too uncomfortable to use; shower curtain old and stained and the shower cubicle needed refurbishing; we had a leak with carpet very wet and a sink plug that didn't work so sink couldn't hold water.
Our stateroom attendant was very good
Booked Trolley Buss - a great way to see the city and then choose where to get on and off.
Toured in a local taxi which was excellent good commentary by the drive - it was his home and loved it!
Interesting to see but long bus journey
