Panama Canal & Central America Cruise Reviews

We were a group of nine from the Atlanta GA area. First the great. The food generally was outstanding in the main dinning room ( Mediterranean). The service in all areas was also great. A shout out to Neno our head server. The ship was spotless in every regard. Captain Kate was a joy, seemed to be everywhere. The ship itself is a thing of beauty. The good. The ship is too big for ...

Great cruise for the most part. Did not care for Columbia as the locals were very pushy and constantly bugging us. Disappointed that we didn’t get to see the Cayman Islands as we had a storm the night before and rough seas. They would not let the ship dock that day. Loved the Panama Canal, very interesting. Entertainment and activities on the ship were great, lots to do at all times of day and ...

Even the engineer in our group wasn't completely wowed by the canal, we've cruised other canals, know how they work...other than the history and kinda cool engineering of recycling the water it wasn't that exciting and made us wonder why it was a "bucket list" thing for some. There are other smaller canals around the world that are much more fun to navigate because there are sights along the way, ...

We are Platinum members and have enjoyed all the Regent ships. Our first impression of the Grandeur is WOW! It is laid out just like the Explorer and the Splendor but the decor is over the top. There is more marble on this ship than in the Vatican. The use of alabaster with lighting is throughout the ship. The color scheme is easy on the eyes. Although all the seating looks beautiful, they ...

It was a good cruise except ror the noise every morning at 5:30. The boat is old and in need of some serios restoration. It was our first time on Celebrity although we've been on 22 other cruises; mostly Carnival,but we're getting a little older now and seemed like a good boat to go on based on reviews. The food was very good in buffet and main dining room. The entertainment was very good. The ...

Wanted full passage Panama canal cruise and Emerald Princess delivered. I found this to be a mostly wonderfully cruise with fabulous entertainment  and games galore. While it was his last assignment on Emerald, Fernando the cruise director was everywhere helping to entertaining guests with games and contests. The shows were great,, especially the premiere of ROCK OPERA. Balcony cabin on Baja 11 ...

We have over 40 cruises under our belts, but this was our first Viking Ocean cruise. The ship and furnishings are beautiful with plentiful public spaces in which to spread out and relax - crowding was extremely rare or non-existent. Staterooms are comfortable with roomy bathrooms (and heated floors!). Food quality and choice of dining venues were generally excellent. Crew was consistently helpful ...

This was our first cruise on Oceania after previous cruises on Seabourn and Viking. Vista is a beautiful ship with high class interiors and all the amenities one could want. Having just been launched in 2023, the new ship design allowed for new approaches to a healthy environment, such as no-touch doors in all public areas. Just waive your hand over a sensor and the door opens. The buffet in ...

We had a good time and got to see and go places that we haven't been to yet. Going through the Panama Canal was the highlight of the trip, but we enjoyed all of the ports. The ship was nice and the more mature crowd was what we were looking for. The food was good and the selections from the menu were nice. The various specialty restaurants were all nice, as well. Generally, the service was ...

HAL does the Panama Canal very well. The day before the transit, there were presentations on the history and the building of canals in general, and the Panama Canal specifically. The day of transit, all ship schedules were adjusted for the transit. All deck areas were opened for people to view the locks, special foods (Panama Rolls, etc) were made and served on deck areas. The cruise ...
