Panama canal transit

Cruise was from Fort Lauderdale to Los Angeles visiting Grand Cayman, Cartagena, Colon, Puntarenas, Puerto Quetzal, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlán. The main event was the coast to coast transit of the Panama canal. Excellent cruise. We did part of the transit as an excursion in a small pleasure boat the day before we did it on the Summit. It turned out great to have done it in two different ways.

East Coast of South Africa

The ship & particularly some of the staff were terrific. Food & accommodation were excellent. Staff clearing an ondeck buffet inside during a storm was really impressive ! Despite some desperate attempts by passengers to make it more difficult ! A couple of rather dull ports but still a great experience.

Wonderful Norwegian Cruise

I could not fault this cruise from start to finish. The Celebrity Apex is a wonderful ship, my favourite cruise line so far. The Fjords are truly breath taking and I would recommend this ship and itinerary.
