I agree about the tub/shower situation. Very awkward for us "more seasoned mature" folks with balance issues developing (I'm 74 and 6'-5") We booked D732 on the Caribbean and it was an accessible cabin with a walk in shower, nice. We can't do tubs anyway. Been on the Island twice and the Coral with regular minis so don't know about accessible minis.

You might inquire about any accessible minis on the Island. Now if you really want to have nice bath with separate shower, spring for an aft suite. We finally did it on the Star for S. America and it was totally worth it.

Hi!

 

Soon going on a Panama-canal cruise (Jan 2013) and Puntarenas is a port of call. I´ve been looking at the excursions offered but am not quite sure on what to pick.

 

Do you have any ideas or recommendations?

 

I´ll be going with my mother, and we´d like something not too adventurous, even if we are both active and fit, so no zip-lining or kayak´s :)

 

Also heard there is absolutuely nothing to do in Puntarenas, is that correct?

 

Thanks in advance!

We were just there 12/9/12 on the Coral Princess. I think you and your mother would love the 6 in 1 tour with Gio Day Tours. I can't say enough good things about them, especially if you get Olman Quiros (Oli) as the guide. Go to http://www.giotours.com/index.html to make a reservation for the Costa Rica Highlights tour. Don't even have to put a deposit down. Pay at the end of the tour. They earn a good tip so be prepared to give them 10 - 15%. Puntarenas itself is just a working fishing village that is a doorway to Costa Rica with some nice shopping stalls set up at the end of the pier. Check Gio's reviews on Trip Advisor. I think you will be pleased.
