Interesting experience

We arrived early into Panama City airport, and the transport started with an impromptu tour of Panama City and a pit stop for breakfast as we couldn't arrive in Colon before 11. The ride to Colon was purely functional, and we didn't view much that was photo worthy. Embarkation felt like sort of a mess in Colon, and it was a relief to finally get on the ship. My bucket list included full ...

We recently completed a 15 day Panama Canal crossing trip on the NCL Bliss. Overall, this cruise was an excellent and enjoyable experience. That said, some improvements could be made: Two excellent plays, “Jersey Boys” and “Six” were each shown 4 times. However, the ticketing computers indicted all shows were sold out the first night of the cruise. Given the theater seats nearly 1,000 ...

Relaxing and fun--except for embarkation and debarkation!

This was a bucket list cruise to go through the Panama Canal and we were traveling with another couple. We are very casual cruisers so we don't expect gourmet top of the line food (truth--we eat at the buffet a lot) or white glove service and we were very satisfied with both the food (ate at Cagneys twice--excellent and Ocean Blue once--also excellent) and service were great. We ate a few times ...

We really enjoyed the cruise on the ship but the stops at Cabo, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, and Ensenada was ok. We were one of the last groups to tender off the ship to Cabo and spent less than an hour shopping at the port. When we got to Puerto Vallarta for a dolphin swim excursion, our driver didn't know the way. Luckily, my husband had his GPS on and was able to reach our destination safely. ...

We sailed on the Bliss Jan 22/23 Los Angeles Round trip. The rumour was the boat was well over standard occupancy and was around 4700 people. Let’s start with the positives. Our room was outstanding, we have a four year old so we opted for the family ocean view room on deck five close to the kids club. This room is very spacious, well thought out storage and design wise and comes with a bath ...

The Travelers: Early 50's empty nesters. This was our fifth cruise, third with NCL, and the second time we’ve cruised without the kids. I’ll say going in that overall I was pleased with NCL, and especially with the Jewel and her crew. It wasn’t perfect, no trip ever is, but it sure was a great vacation. The Cruise: NCL Jewel 12-night, San Diego to Colon, Panama via the Panama Canal with port ...

We chose this cruise because we had not visited any of the ports of call before, and we have always wanted to see the Panama Canal. The Issues: We were disappointed that Nicaragua was cancelled, due to Covid Protocols. We were not told about this until we were on board. More notice should have been given to all passengers. I think NCL knew well in advance about this situation, and could ...

Itinerary We were on a repositioning itinerary from 7-night Mexican Riviera to Panama Canal. We selected this cruise because we would visit some different countries while traveling towards the canal. The following itineraries will be in the southern Caribbean, but still with a Panama Canal crossing. There were only about 1500 passengers onboard, so it was much easier than normal to reserve a ...

We always wanted to cruise the Panamá Canal and for $1400.00 each for 15 days plus $150.00 onboard credit was very good value for a stateroom with a balcony. It was from Miami to Los Angelos. We flew into Fort Lauderdale which we are now glad about as apparently there are long queues at Miami airport and stayed at the La Quinta Inn. It was only $35.00 for an Uber to Miami from there, The hotel ...

We have done the Mexican Rivera many times, we live in AZ now so just drive over to San Diego and jump on a ship :). We have cruised many times on NCL so kind of knew the vibe just hadn't been on this one. As we had booked only 3 days before boarding we didn't have much of a choice in staterooms- ended up in an inside one- but had an amazing steward named Mark who helped keep us tidy. Bed was ...
