in "96-"97, the ship i had contract on, Royal Princess was asigned on cruises through Panama Canal, From San Juan to Acapulco , also FT.Lauderdale to LA, those cruises we used to stop in Limon on atlantic coast and Puerto Caldera/Puntarenas on west coast. Nice beaches rain forest, luxury hotels but , once you are out in city the streets are dirty ,cheap girls, poor markets selling all kind of stuff in same place, the same flavour like Jamaica
