We chose this because we always wanted to see the Panama Canal and the central America ports.

Embarking was very quick. We arrived approx 11:45 and were on the ship by 12:15.

Headed to O'Sheehan's bar for lunch and beverage. Nice bar and good food. Great staff! Anytime dining allows you to dine here as well as the main dining rooms.

Cabin Review

Family Balcony

Cabin B3

Nicely laid out cabin with a small couch. TV angles to your liking. Well designed bathroom with bigger shower than I've had on RC. Sliding doors in shower and toilet area are a great feature that give you privacy while the rest of the washroom can be used by others.

5 USB chargers!

Port Reviews

Cartagena (Colombia)

Got a van with guide and driver at the port. He did the same city tour as they offered on the ship. Paid $120. for 4 people

Puntarenas (Puerto Caldera)

Amazing wildlife display. Beautiful country.

Puntarenas (Puerto Caldera)

Nice change of pace and a good way to see some of the locals habitat

Puerto Quetzal (Antigua)

Drove to Antigua with about 16 others booked through NCL on the rum tour at LA Casa de RonZappa. Good guide with separate driver. Very informative. Included a very nice lunch at Porta Hotel. Good value here.

Acapulco

Nice 3 hour tour of the city. Same route as NCL offered. Better price, $30./person with tip. Pricrs posted just as you walk out of the port. Very safe and informative. Beautiful city!

Cabo San Lucas

Just walked around and had lunch at a local restaurant. Walked the pier after. Sales people not pushy here. Good English spoken by them
