Busiest cruise ever and one port has been cancelled. Tomorrow we are in Costa Rica. There are 53 in our group and some super nice people that we have met. Yesterday was the Panama Canal and we invited everyone to our cabin in shifts during the three locks. This suite has a huge wrap around deck. Mimosas flowed and it was really enjoyable. Usually we watch from the front but watching from the back was great. The weather was perfect, no wind and not too hot.

Food has been excellent. Although we did not go to the show everyone was raving about how good it was. I guess some of the old routines but greatly improved.

At times there has been some movement with the seas but nothing major and today it is nice and calm.

So many crew we know. We bought a ton of pins for the crew but quickly running out. Constantly seeing crew we need to give a pin to for their collection, but I am afraid we will run out shortly.

Initially I was a bit worried as the two key positions, GM and FNB as they were filled by people that we did not know and we knew with the limitations on gatherings it was going to be a problem. However, it all worked out fine. The GM, Evan and the FNB, Mihai are outstanding. There have been some challenges and they have so accommodating making things go smoothly. Definitely two key executives we will be thrilled to sail with again.

Not taken any pictures yet the days are just flying by so quickly. Be back again soon.
