Panama Canal & Central America Cruise Reviews

The cruise was recommended by family. The countries of this cruise is where my family members live and it was the perfect choice to visit them. As for the service and condition of the ship Royal Caribbean, the vessel seem to be an older model. The smell of sewer in the living areas were unhealthy. Being in such closed spaces this can aid the spread of Covid and other respiratory conditions. The ...

I've been on about 6 or 7 cruises in my life and I've got to say this was the worst hands down. The staffing were rude and the food was sub-par. The air-conditioning didn't work half of the time and don't even think about taking a hot shower because then your cabin is going to feel like a sauna for the rest of the night. Then when the cruise was over the ship was not allowed to dock because of ...

All my time on this cruise I felt like the service was really bad the food was not good we got treated horribly while on this trip but I will not be coming back to Royal Caribbean Grandeur of the Seas this was for me a zero out of 10 would not recommend. The only thing that I liked about this Cruise was going on the excursions but otherwise but than that this was a really terrible experience. ...

The customer service was not up to par. I had to wait many, many days to get my bedding changed. I went to eat at “The great Gatsby” I ordered well done beef. I received rare meat. My room attendant made “mini towel animals” with the previously used hand towels that I use on my face & placed them on the foot of my bed. The smell on the ship was very unpleasant at times. My family & I went to eat ...

Having sailed on Joy's sister ship, Bliss, a couple of times previously, my DH and I looked forward to this bucket-list cruise through the Panama Canal on the Joy. While it was great to be back cruising after 3 years away due to the pandemic, it wasn't all that we remembered before the shutdown. Embarkation: Was absolutely a cluster as has been typical of past NCL cruises. We arrived 30 minutes ...

Going on a Panama Canal cruise from Miami to Lima Peru was on our bucket list. The itinerary was terrific. The boat is old and needs renovation to to bottom. Unfortunately, we are on this tub again in June from Lisbon to Oslo for 23 days. The scheduled renovations will only touch the Penthouses and common areas, not the balcony staterooms. We were lied to about this from several sources onboard. ...

Chose this ship for the small boat experience and unique ports that were promised. Out of the 4 stops 2 were cancelled and we sat anchored for 24 hours at canal inlet instead of one of our ports. A casino was still advertised on the ship's website at the time we booked but when boarded found out it was pule 3 years ago during the retro-fit. I will say the stateroom and food were excellent. I ...

Viking gets stellar reviews, which is why I booked this. Perhaps an "off " cruise? Beyond disappointing. Let's be clear; Viking is, in no way, a luxury cruise line. First the good: the ship is lovely, the food is very good and the crew are wonderful, with the exception of Guest Services. There were so many passengers complaining on this trip, I imagine they felt themselves overworked. They ...

Wanted to do the panama canal cruise from LA to Miami. Advertisement with johnny rockets and starbucks.

Ship is old and dirty, somethimes my plate from the windjammer was not clean. Food is left out to long resulting in bad food experience with burger ...

We choose because of the itenery. Ship was very clean & crew very friendly. The food was horrible ! Corn & ham on pizza only 1 example. Entertainment I have seen better at high school level. Pool Entertainment was funeral music. They asked us to buy a cruise pkg of $3k upfront lump sum to guarantee them 12 cruises. NO! there was a port cancelation & the refused refund of the port fee. They ...
