After over a year and a half of Covid, we finally were able to return to The World for a brief trip through the Caribbean, the Panama Canal, Costa Rica and the far south of Mexico. We limited our trips ashore to outdoor activities and dining to be safe but loved that the crew did all the work coordinating through the ever-changing entry rules around Covid. We loved the weather, the food, and Costa Rica and Mexico in particular.

It was mostly a test run for us to see if we’d be comfortable joining the French Polynesia expedition in January.
