Boat needs a deep cleaning

I thought this was going to be one posh boat trip....But as soon as I saw the the aft deck blue cushions all streaked with black stains I never wanted to sit on them. When tendering up to the boot you can see the dirt marks all along her hull and especially at the water line, it looked like fungus growing there. The main deck carpet was filthy with dirt spots. The crew were fantastic, the guide was the best! But we only went through the Pacific locks at the Canal, and the rumor was on board because the company didn't want to pay to go through the Atlantic locks so we had to anchor in Gatun Lake and tender to some 'Yacht Club' and then the company hired a shuttle bus to take us to the final destination Colon 200o. All in all I enjoyed myself, food was ok, the chef kept trying to make it look fancy with coral reef colored looking food chips, but he went overboard. I do recommend the boat....but after they give it a thorough cleaning!

Great crew through a stunning cruise

Snorkelling at Cocos and Coiba was like swimming in an aquarium. Crew was as helpful as could be. Food was plentiful, lots of fresh fruit. All of the info given by our naturalist was so helpful. Loved going through the Panamá Canal.
