14 day Panama Canal Cruise....part 1

Good morning.
This is the first of many posts on our 14 day Panama Canal Cruise.
We flew to Miami on A Thursday. Spent the night in a hotel by the airport. Took a shuttle to the ship Friday morning.
Left Miami that afternoon, sailing 2 days at sea. The 3rd day we arrived in Cartagena, Columbia. 
I'll post more about that and the rest of the cruise later. First, a few pics of our ship......
The pool deck with sun loungers all around it and the next level.
Our ship in the harbor in Cabo....
The grand Atrium on the 7th through 9th floors. The ship had floors 4 through 13 available for guests to use. Part of 4 and below were crew cabins and storage and such.
And a few pics of our balcony stateroom......


We even had a small couch and desk. I couldn't get a decent pic of the bathroom, but very roomy! The shower was very large for a cruise ship.
And of course, there were 11 restaurants, 8 bars, a theater, casino, library, a pool, 7 hot tubs, and a seating area in the Grand Atrium. This ship had open dining, so instead of a set time and table, you could go to any of the complementary restaurants any time. The 5 specialty restaurants had a surcharge and needed reservations. We ate at 2 of those and I'll tell you more about them in a later post.
So, we had good weather the entire trip. Quite warm and humid in most ports. Good food. Met a lot of other people during the cruise also. Most of the people we met had been on many, many cruises. We were like newbies this being our 3rd.
But I must go for now as I have a ton of unpacking and laundry to do. Craig won't be of much help as he came down with a terrible chest cold the last day of the cruise. I'm happy he made the trip home okay.
