This trip was a return trip for my husband, he had gone through the canal in the '50s while serving in the Navy. The trip went smoothly! the ship was beautifully decorated for the Holidays, the cabin was clean, the balcony large. The bed was wonderful, cozy, great pillows. The entertainment was good as were the games. The service was outstanding in the dining room, high praise to Erick, he took great care of me. I found the food rather bland and tasteless, as were the desserts. I was surprised to find the bath towels so shabby and grey. Our Steward did a good job of taking care of us and the room service (breakfasts) were delivered at the time I requested!! We took a ship excursion in Cartagena, Columbia and found it very interesting, one of the better excursions we have been on. Disembarkment was VERY well organized, perhaps the best of all our cruising trips.
