lahore Posted June 2, 2004 #1 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Hi, we are Aussies going on Legend of the seas full canal crossing in December. I am VERY interested to see the actual canal - not so bothered about floating around in the lake. So, what to do? If you go on the ship's tours (which we are REALLY struggling to afford anyway, but this might be the ONE place to make an exception due to inability to get off ship otherwise), then does being on a tour mean you miss the industrial wonders of the canal? I am interested in culture, culture and more culture (and taking photos) - in the anthropological sense not the 'high culture' sense - so any tours people have done to historical/native places I would love to hear about. Also any suggestions for saving money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Caroline Posted June 3, 2004 #2 Share Posted June 3, 2004 IMHO you should not get off the ship if you are making a full transit.. just can't get an appreciation for this engineering marvel. On Princess and HAL they usually have some onboard programs to highlight the building of the canal etc., not sure about on Royal Caribbean. The perspective simply wouldn't be the same if you took a tour Host Caroline <font SIZE="1">Join me on the beautiful Diamond Princess in July 2005 for Cruise Critic's Awesome Alaskan Adventure --You'll have a whale of a good time!
