We show you what to expect, talk about the history, and how much it costs to enter the Canal. Next we visit the Port of Limon in the beautiful Costa Rica. We take you on a tour around the fabulous Cahuita National Park, where we spot exotic wildlife such as the howler monkey, the spider monkey and the sloth. Followed by a beautiful boat trip on the Tortuguero Canals. Known as Costa Rica's Amazon Rainforest. Our final Port of Call is to The Cayman Islands, and George Town. The GRAND CAYMANS are considered one of the safer islands to visit, compared to Jamaica, and offer a good selection of tours. We sightsee round the historic Capital, then take a bus out to Seven Mile Beach. We also talk about our previous visit where we toured Stingray City. Also in this video we give our thoughts on the ship for this cruise, the Rotterdam, flagship of Holland America. We show you some highlights of the cruise such as Orange Night, and the Orange Party, Caribbean Night, the Caribbean brunch, and what you can get up to on the ship.
