Emerald Princess, Panama Canal
5
Great cruise including full transit through the Panama Canal. Embarking in Los Angeles and visiting ports in Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia before disembarking in Fort Lauderdale. The ports of call were all very interesting and the transit through the canal was enhanced by a superb running commentary by an on board speaker who grew up in Panama and was a huge source of fascinating information. The ship had very good facilities but the service was a little underwhelming at times - not as good as when we were onboard a few months earlier. We ate mainly in the buffet which had a good range of dishes but was not able to cope too well with my lactose free diet and only had a limited range of gluten free options too. We took Princess shore excursions but wouldn't do so again as they were not very well organised and concentrated on taking you to retail outlets rather than exploring the area. However we still enjoyed the cruise despite these few niggles and would consider cruising on this ship again.
