Thanks fellow CC'ers

Well, today we (my wife and me) Booked our first cruise ever (Zuiderdam 25th sept 2010 19 day trip through the Panama canal).

Thanks for all the helpful tips and tricks.

Can't tell you how much we are looking forward to it!

Hope to meet up with some fellow CCérs on board!

What are some helpful links on inoculations etc?

Congratulations! I suspect that after trying cruising once that you will want to sail again and again.

Guess what? I think that you will meet some CC members. There's a roll call for that cruise (see Roll Calls - Holland America)

(I don't think that any inoculations will be needed.)

No shots are needed for a PC transit.

Enjoy your first of many cruises!

I suspect that too but it's a chance I'm willing to take :)


Thanks all on the inoculation advice

Welcome to Cruise Critic.

Congratulations on booking your first cruise.

We have done quite a few full transit Panama Canal cruises -- they are great.

You do not need any special shots.

But if you are going to do a lot of cruising in the future you might consider getting Hep A and B, typhoid, diptheria, pneumonia and tetnus shots.

I agree with KK...Panama Canal cruises are excellent. I've been there 5 times and I think there are more cruises to the Canal in my future. Have a great time!
