WHY THIS CRUISE?
We were looking for a warm weather getaway during January, and we were interested in revisiting the Panama Canal. This cruise was the right length with some new ports as well as the Panama Canal, and it was priced well. Unfortunately, when we first booked the trip, the ship went through the first set of locks in the Canal into Gatun Lake and then came out again. Alas, as of the first of the 2010, the itinerary was changed to a port stop in Colon with no transit of the canal. But, the other factors were still in place, so we kept with the reservation.
Great cabin...large, quiet, close to everything. We like cabins mid-ships for stability and access to other parts of the ship. We also avoid cabins over or under areas of potential noise such as pool or exercise decks, restaurants, casinos or night clubs. This cabin had only cabins above and below.
