Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. And another specific to r&d: We are in the Bay Area as well. Any tips or favorites as to airlines or flights? I am just starting to look and deciding whether to save a bit of money and have a layover or to go direct. Have you tried Copa Airlines or do you stick to the big ones?
  2. Any other question: Do you bring any local currency or do US dollars work fine?
  3. Thanks for all the answers! This helps a lot. r&d, what time do you usually get to the ship? Have you done any private tours and if so, any companies you would highly recommend? I went through the Panama Canal years ago on a Celebrity big ship and we used a great tour guide in Panama but I think they are gone. How many people are on the Windstar tours? Do they all go together or are they broken up into smaller groups? We usually save a lot of money on the private tours, but the private tours in this area seem to cost about the same as the Windstar tours. We would love any other tips you have. I am a great believer in having as much info as possible before we go, so we don't miss anything. Thanks again.
  4. Hi all! We are celebrating a big birthday with friends on the Windstar Colon - Puerto Caldera/Panama Canal cruise in November 2024. We've done other big cruises and some smaller ones but have always wanted to try Windstar. Hopefully you can help me with some questions. Any and all tips are welcome about these items or any other things you think we should know. - What is the usual boarding time? I think we will stay in Casco Viejo and use private transportation to get us to the port. Amber Moon seems popular. Any other suggestions? (There will be six of us.) - On the bigger cruise ships, we usually book our own tours rather than the expensive and often crowded ship's tours. Does this make sense on Windstar or on this particular cruise? The excursions seem to be mostly nature related. Anything we shouldn't miss? People seem to love Monkey Island? The cruisecritic community has helped me so much over the years and it's been awhile since we've cruised and our first time on Windstar, so I hope you can help again. Thanks so much! Sandra in SF, CA
