Thanks skipper for your review... I read your review with great interest as many of the same ports of call will be on our trip in January....

Thanks Skipper for the review. I agree that I would not like the internet cafe in the atrium. I'm glad you had a good time and I agree that everyone should do the Panama Canal Trasit atleast once in their lifetime.

Very nice review, Skipper. We were on the Island Princess a couple of years ago, and it is still one of our favorites. Thanks. :smiley:

The Skipper,

Thank you for your review. I really enjoyed reading it, particularly the parts giving hints on the ports of call. You are really making a Panama crossing seem very enticing.

I so glad you had a great time and that the ship met or exceeded your expectations. They really do have to do something about those showers. I noticed that the showers on the Carnival Valor seemed to be a little larger. I don't know if it was my imagination but the curtain did not touch my body when I was washing my feet, if you know what I mean.

I am curious to hear more about that port in Panama where there were complaints abuot the cruise excursions. For future reference do you know the nature of the complaints?

Merbert,

Mixed reviews on the Shore Excursions in Porta Amador. The Panama City tour participants that I spoke to all said the same thing, they were just rushed through the city on a bus. No time to really see anything.

Those who went back to the locks to watch nightime operations there seemed to enjoy their tour.

When we tendered ashore there were thousands of very large dead bugs everwhere, underfoot. Really freaked my wife out. I guess they must have sprayed just before we docked.
