I took a 10 day quite memorable cruise on Cunard's Caronia back in 2002 from Acapulco to Ft. Lauderdale. Had a great time as I fortuitously had purchased an antibiotic for possible prophylactic use at the airport in Mexico City. During the canal traverse the mules pulled the ship into the side of the canal, disabling one of the docking doors which we were thereafter unable to use. It turned out to be a memorable cruise for many reasons..CDC on board, helicopter evacuation after taking down rigging for a very bad bug causing severe illness among passengers and crew. The MD on board was exhausted! Whoever was in the cabin next to mine was bed ridden the entire cruise. A few folks who had been in Acapulco precruise brought the bug onboard.
