Choose for the Panama Canal crossing. The entertainment was good overall. The meals were medium good but not noteworthy. We ate in buffet, both main dining rooms and 3 specialty restaurants. Only Cagney's was worth the money. Desserts with the exception of ice cream were uniformly disappointing.
The shops devoted too much space to high end jewelry and perfume (money makers?) and nothing to makeup or sundries or candy.
Liked the shore excursions we took and fond them very enjoyable.
bid for Oceanview and received the cabin with a porthole for my $300. it was on deck 5, last cabin forward. nice but had I known I could refuse, I would have and kept my midship deck 8 interior room. Not worth the money.
Long drive to volcano but worth it and interesting along the way.
very nice shopping area close to port. A little too much same shops.
