Miami to the Panama Canal & Central America Cruise Reviews

Oceania Sirena - Miami to Panama City - March 7-17 2024 This was my third cruise with Oceania. The first was the Eastern Mediterranean in 2009, the second was Northern Europe in 2012. I really enjoyed those two cruises; this one, not so much. Based on my experiences on this cruise, it's unlikely I will take a 4th cruise with Oceania. Let's start with the good. The food was excellent. I did ...

The staff were friendly and helpful. For the most part, waiters were attentive, but the food left a lot to be desired. I’m not a picky eater, but I had trouble finding one entree that appealed to me each evening in the main dining room. The best dessert was usually the sherbet or ice cream choice. I got food poisoning the third day of the cruise as did another guest I talked to. Since the food is ...

We picked this specific itinerary, and because Celebrity does not do a FULL transit, in the winter. We did do a Princess Cruise in 2020 but did not like it at all. Having not sailed with NCL since 2018 (previously 6 cruises), (we did 3 Celebrity, and 1 Princess in between), we definitely noticed the cut-backs, and the nickel and diming that NCL has been accused of. Embarkation was a ...

We chose the cruise as it was goiing to interesting different ports of call. The first one was Costa Maya, where we were unable to dock and understand that happens frequently. also heard that actually its very scruffy there. Other ports of call varied. We had an excellent excursion from Guatamala with brilliant guide and included high speed boat trip up the New River. The Tabyana beach day, ...

Sailing MSC makes you realize how some other lines really get it right. And what it's like when done wrong. The itinerary decided this try, and my brother in law sailed this very ship March 2023 for a short jaunt to ensure it was a good choice. He had a great 5 day Caribbean cruise so we were excited to try MSC for the first time on a special Christmas cruise. SUMMARY: I hope your family ...

Now that I am waiting to disembark the ship after an 18 day sailing on the MSC Divina I will leave you with my own personal review of this ship. Take it as a grain of salt like you would anyone’s review. We all have our own personal likes, dislikes, standards and personalities. Learn, get an idea and just go and have a great time on your vacation. Ok onto my own thoughts. EMBARKATION - ...

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 ...
