Krazy Kruizers Posted April 12, 2013 #7 Share Posted April 12, 2013 That is a wonderful partial Panama Cruise -- we have done it a couple of times. It is a good introduction to the canal. Don't forget to try the Panama Buns -- only available on the day you get to the Canal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x lindsay x Posted April 12, 2013 #10 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I sure hope my husband shares the enthusiasm you two have for cruising. I have cruised quite a bit and have over 54 days at sea with HAL, I am taking him on his first cruise to Alaska for our honeymoon and I hope he catches the bug.

ShenValleyGal Posted April 12, 2013 #11 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I'm so happy you've decided on your itinerary and its the same one we'll be doing, although we'll be aboard in March. Enjoy the planning - its almost as good as the cruise itself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VermeulT Posted April 12, 2013 #13 Share Posted April 12, 2013 This was a must-do itinerary for me too. I did it in Jan 2010 and it was FABULOUS! I'm sure you will love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foodgirl Posted April 12, 2013 #15 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I know you will have a great time. The Zuiderdam was my first HAL ship and holds a special place for me. I wish we could do that trip but we can only take a week at a time due to work schedule. Looking forward to reading any tips as we hope to do this at some point.

AZNative2000 Posted April 12, 2013 #16 Share Posted April 12, 2013 There is a marvelous book about the canal called "Path Between The Seas" that is very worth reading before you get there. We did this one as our second cruise as well. The ports are great but the Canal is FANTASTIC. Here is a preview of Canal morning. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
startwin Posted April 12, 2013 #17 Share Posted April 12, 2013 !!! oh no !!! Where are you going in April?

Cruising-along Posted April 12, 2013 #18 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Good choice, I'm sure you'll love it. :) We did that cruise 4 years ago and really liked it. Loved the Zuiderdam and the ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alwaysfrantic Posted April 12, 2013 #21 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I LOVED the white water rafting. Best excursion I've taken on a ship. I did the Panama Canal trip in February. Great itinerary. We had a wonderful time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetocruise2020 Posted April 12, 2013 #22 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Congrats! Have a great time! Come back and tell us all about everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapper1 Posted April 12, 2013 #23 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Are the full transits only available certain times of the year? The Zuiderdam does a full transit in the spring and again in the fall when she repositions between doing Alaska and doing the Caribbean partial transits. We did the April repo last year and enjoyed it so much we have booked a redo for next April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VallyD Posted April 12, 2013 Author #24 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Don't add me to the Future Cruisers list now, don't jinx me! LOL! We have decided but have not booked it. We are fiddling with husband's time off next year to be sure and deciding which cabins would be best, getting more than a week off for husband requires a bit of sweet talk, his job isn't easy for other staff to cover....... ohhh those darn Cruise Day Credits... we keep going back to that suite too! :eek::cool::D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
