We wanted to experience the locks at the Panama Canal,. and to see a part of the world we had never visited.
We booked a mini-suite for the first time, and we really enjoyed having the extra space. We had four sea days, so we were in the room more often than on other cruises.
We had Club Dining on this cruise, and were very pleased with the service. It was nice to have the same efficient waiters for each meal, and to have our "own" table. The waiters were very attentive and aware of our preferences, as well as being welcoming and friendly.
We enjoyed the mini-suite, because we usually do not have that much space on a cruise. It was very comfortable, and having the balcony was a treat. We especially liked having the balcony when we were going through the locks, and when we were sailing to and from ports. It is always interesting to experience those times.
The cabin was kept neat and clean in a timely manner.
