Classic Caribbean from St. Maarten - Fly Cruise, 19 February 2028 (9 nights)

From boarding which was smooth to disembarking it was great. Food, service excellent. Plenty of choice and have to mention the freshly caught tuna on the deck bbq, wow! Crew talent show was special, some great dancers and singers and the syncronised swimming was hilarious! Sail away when they put the sails up for the first time was a special moment. Having the marina off the back of the ship was an experience, great fun too. Ports of call all beautiful but very hot. All in all would definitely recommend this yacht/cruise. So nice to have no crowds on board too, very chilled and relaxed. Only thing my husband and I missed were some more brits, think we were the only 2 on this cruise. Must just mention that our cabin was great apart from being at the rear if the yacht we had horrendous noise when going into port, general engine noise all the time which was ok but super noisy going into port. Worth noting when booking.

Lovely ship, excellent facilities and the staff were superb. Departing early February 2020, The itinerary was two ports in Columbia, one in Costa Rica, one in Panama ( in addition to Colon), and a canal transit. Our one disappointment was that a "Transit" of the Panama canal was intimated and confirmed by a telephone call, when in fact a full transit was never intended. The "Panama Canal Transit" was detailed in published daily schedules, and only referred to as a partial transit in the last few days, when I suspect other passengers realised the status. The vessel was never designed to enter the Panama Canal. The lifeboats had to be removed, and a new Panama Fairlead installed aft requiring us to spend a day in the Port of Colon to accommodate this. This accommodation was only possible by cancelling The Panama port visit (Boco del Toro), therefore we only visited three of the planned four ports, and a planned "Day at Sea" was in fact a day at anchor outside the Canal. Without requiring to pass under the "Bridge of the Americas" and enter the Pacific, the vessel could have completed a full transit of the Canal, disembarking passengers in Panama City, rather than Colon, and embarking new passengers there to complete a second transit northwards. We were compensated for the missed port, $50 and $15 fees, (less than a dinner bottle of wine.) A very disappointing end to a potentially wonderful experience. The Ship was wonderful, the holiday was not.

great cabins, and wonderful experience
