Panama Repositioning Cruise 0 , QLD, Australia, Sep 2025
This was a brilliant 3 week cruise. The vessel, amenities, food and stateroom were perfect. Only 2 negatives, due to 2 Hurricanes we were unable to get into the Mexico Ports and Costa Rica had its port closed by officials. But apart from that, we had a great time and saw a lot of amazing things. We are now looking for our 2026 holiday. And of course, read more many thanks to Rachel McSorley for her fantastic organising of the cruise and flights.
