Anyone take a cruise through the Panama Canal?

If so, did you like it?
And what cruise line did you take?

TIA

Re: Anyone take a cruise through the Panama Canal?

I did over Thanksgiving. I think it was interesting but I get pretty bored easily, so the actual canal part was like okay, neat, what's next? But I loooooove cruises in general. And the canal is only one day of the cruise so you go to a few other places. I was on the Crystal Harmony and it was VERY nice. I also like Celebrity. Let me know if you have any questions I can answer.

Crystal is the cruise line, Harmony is the boat.

Cruises are great because you do get to go to different places. And all the food and onboard stuff is free. But you have to pay for alcohol, soda and excursions. All-inclusives are good because they do include everything, but you are in one place the whole time. I like them both myself!

Try vacationstogo.com or cruisecompete.com; the first has good deals and the second lets people give you quotes.

I went 2 years ago, on Holland America Line. I forget the name of the boat.

It was so fun. A little more sedate than most other lines, (no kids) but the food was AWESOME, rooms were great, service was OUTSTANDING.

Our cruise went to Colombia, Costa Rica, The Panama Canal, Aruba, Curacao, and a private island in the bahamas.

I highly recommend!!

I did it about 10 years ago on a boat that is no longer in service. The boat started from Montego Bay Jamaica and went to Costa Rica, Columbia, Panama Canal and Kuna island.

To tell you the truth I slept through most of the boat going through the Canal. I got up just in time to see the last few minutes. Its actually kind of boring. Nothing is better then a cruise though, so you'll have a great time anywhere it goes.
