Panama Canal & Central America Cruise Reviews

This was my first cruise. I was so excited to have a some special time with my spouse away from the children but this cruise greatly disappointed me. This ship is old and dated. The worst thing was the smell when walking to and from my room. It literally smelled like a burst sewage pipe in the hall throughout the entire trip. The staff at guest service were rude. I even got hung up on while asking ...

I cannot see how anyone can rate this ship anymore more than a zero , the Internet is horrible on the ship I paid over $200 for Internet that I could barely use , while on the ship at the Gatsby the waiter always got our food wrong I don't know how you can do that with a set menu, also they seem to always know how to interrupt a conversation with poor jokes. The ship is small and old and the ...

We were repeatedly asked to leave wind jammer while still eating. Other guest made racist remarks to us. We are a large group and was given no preference. They changed ship dock times on us so we could not experience each destination fully they also made our living quarters very inhabitable. They would not change our towels every day, and when we asked to change towels, it would be a problem. We ...

My overall experience was very disappointing. First, they did not sanitize the ship properly before we boarded. After about two days, several people I know had cold and flu like symptoms including my toddler. I managed to be ok while on the ship but the day after we disembarked I felt like I had been hit by a truck. I tested positive for COVID when I got home. *Warning for the next set of ...

To start off, this ship is old and should be retired. I heard the ship creak like it wasn't going to make it the entire trip. Most staff encountered was ok but not very pleasant. My stateroom attendant Bryan was pretty nice but in 11 days I only received 2 towel animals which was disappointing. He forgot several items and I had to continually call for items missed. I really enjoyed hanging with ...

I come from a large family, and from the time we entered the ship we were treated like garbage. The guests services were not helpful an was very dismissive. We were questioned all the time of how were we all able to afford to come as a family. The main dining service was ok, but the food was terrible an at most times cold. The windjammer had a lack of non pork options. We were constantly lied to ...

The positives of this cruise, the itinerary, the musicals, good shower space, and decent food. The negatives: 1. Is a mega-ship with a poor design unable to accommodate all their passengers without feeling constantly overcrowded and always struggling to find a space to eat or relax. For example more than once passengers were faced with lack of tables at the buffet restaurant, and were ...

This cruise line not only fails to live up to promises but also fails in its communication with passengers. One is treated as a commodity not a person by many, not all, staff. It seemed the more senior the more they under performed. Complaints on board were met with a blank stare or excuses not explanations or apologies. Food was poor to ok, with worst in the specialty French and Italian ...

I have cruised many times, and this was my first and LAST Princess cruise. The ship was filthy, mold everywhere including in the toilet in our cabin. Service was non-existent, food was mediocre on a good day. Reservations were not honored, so we mainly ate pizza and soft serve ice cream for 10 days. Buckets were in hallways catching drips, auto doors slammed open and shut all day. Talent was ...

We picked this thinking it would be a good adventure. NYC cruise port,problem long lines waiting, hard on elderly, when a women asked for a seat,quote you can sit on the floor. Staff delivered food , drinks,none for passengers. Shame Ncl cruise good food variety, nice theater shows very professional. Clean ship pleasant staff. Downside lines at every venue. No seats on deck,or towel taken. Try ...
