silverfoxcruiser Posted September 17, 2006 #1 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Can somebody please help us make a decision? We're on Princess over Thanksgiving, and torn between the two options. Has anyone done them? Is one better than the other? I know they're expensive, but can't fathom going that far and not going to the Pacific side. Thank you in advance.:confused: :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southbound Posted September 17, 2006 #2 Share Posted September 17, 2006 We took the train excursion and it was excellent. Booked the domed car, which sells out fast because there's only one. It's a few dollars more, but well worth it. The ride over to the Pacific side was very interesting and comfortable. Highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrp96 Posted September 18, 2006 #3 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I did the ferry excursion on March 1st. If you really interested in the workings of the canal, this is a great excursion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxcruiser Posted September 18, 2006 Author #4 Share Posted September 18, 2006 We've decided to take the ferry and go through all the locks. "Path Between the Seas" helped push us in that direction. Thank you. Silver:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettyboop16 Posted September 19, 2006 #5 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Hi Silver, Please let me know about your excursion in Panama on the ferry. We hope to take a cruise there in 08 for our 20th anniversary. We were on the Coral May 05 to Alaska, nice ship. Betty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheik Posted September 28, 2006 #6 Share Posted September 28, 2006 If you've never been through the Panama Canal and want to make the best pictures of the Canal and surroundings, the ferry is the way to go. You can smell the air, hear the nature calling you...it's the best experience, not to compare with a train sitting behind glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
