Panama Canal Transit Fl - LA, Advice needed please

[Magor2015]

Hi All

 

We are taking the 15th December cruise from FL to LA via the Panama Canal. We would love to hear any advice from anyone who has taken the same/similar cruise before.

 

In particular, any excursions that are either unmissable or to be avoided?

 

Any tips on making the most of the experience?

 

We are both foodies which is one reason for our selecting Seabourn. I hope we won't be disappointed. This is the first time my wife has taken a cruise and only my 3rd, both time previously with Celebrity.

 

Thanks in advance.

We did this cruise. It was fabulous. I will go back to my itinerary and will give you my experiences on the excursions later. In the meantime go to Seabourn's forum and search "able seaman" and check out the youtube video he made of this particular cruise. (or check it out on youtube - search Seabourn - Henry)

The video is awesome and reflects the trip 100%. You will have an awesome time!

Magor2015,

 

Welcome to Cruise Critics. :)

 

You will be spoiled by Seabourn!

 

We will be getting off the Odyssey on the 15th. The combined Roll Call for the December 3 32-day cruise (http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2169007) has several posts about excursions.

 

Also, since this is your first Seabourn cruise, would you like a referral coupon for $400 on board credit? Email us at flyingscotsailors at gmail dot com if you are interested.

We're on the same cruise, and I posted a thread about it some time ago. Some of the replies may be helpful for you too :

This will be our fourth year taking this cruise, so obviously we enjoy it. Pleasant way to spend the Holidays and meet new friends. Here are links to my comments/photos of out three previous trips:
