Thanks for the info! Yes, I figured there were a lot of differences between the two cruises, but they're the only options if we're set on going to the Panama Canal. ~Kit

Found it - it's this one on the Carnival Legend, but it leaves the very first day of our holidays, so it would be quite a rush to get there on time. We don't like rushing. My family has no hustle. 😆

When I went back to search again this morning, the cheaper one I had found last night seems to be gone. Anyway, our best bet is this one - Celebrity Beyond. It fits within our window of time. I suspect it will be too expensive for some members, however, especially if we want to pitch in for Veranda or Concierge class for my parents. We'll be flying down from Toronto as well, so we have to figure that into the cost, and hooo boy, are Christmas flights ever expensive. I'm thinking we should consider other Caribbean cruises to open up our options, especially when our timing is so limited. Thanks for the answers to my other questions! It sounds like I should talk to a TA who's knowledgeable about cruises. ~Kit

Hi all, I'm a newbie, looking for some advice and insight. I'm trying to book a Panama Canal cruise for my whole family (8-11 members, depending on who's able to come) and we're looking at Christmas break 2024. Looking at the available cruises at the moment, there are only 2 sailings that fit our very rigid time frame. Is it possible more cruises will be added? Also, when a stateroom says it can accommodate up to 4 people, is that only 2 adults and 2 children? Do children generally cost the same as adults? We're considering a balcony room for my parents, but interior rooms for the rest of us. Are there areas on the ship where interior rooms are next to balcony rooms? We'd like everyone's rooms to be as close as possible. Thanks for any information you can give me!! 🙂 ~Kit
