Just returned from 19 day cruise, Oceania Regatta, Miami to San Francisco, via the Panama Canal.

It was truly an otherworldly experience. The Panama Canal was definitely a high point. Day 5 we docked at Colon. Had the day shore excursion, vista train ride over to Panama City, toured Flamenco Island via bus, then returned along the canal to Colon. Day 6 was our sail through the Panama Canal. Amazing!

Other itinerary included Havana, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Acapulco, Mazatlan, Cabo San Lucas, San Diego - there was to much ocean surge to allow for our intended day in Costa Rica.

Regatta is a small, 680 passenger max, well outfitted ship. It will be undergoing retrofitting this September, so likely even better.

Our experience was outstanding - highly recommended.

(the only "failure" is the on-board internet service - dismal at best. But, why cruise, if you "need" internet!)
