eyelash Posted February 9, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I've been wracking my brain on the Princess website trying to find a cruise that starts in LA and does a full transit of the Panama Canal to Ft. Lauderdale and then departs Ft. Lauderdale the same day to go back through the Canal to LA. I'm not picky about whether it travels the historic or new locks either direction, but prefer a larger ship like the Emerald over the Island Princess. We'd like to go in Jan 2023 or later. Am I missing something or does Princess just not offer this possibility? Any info appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LACruiser88 Posted February 9, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 9, 2022 We did that exact b2b on the Coral Princess a few years ago. That itinerary (b2b from LA) is not always offered. You just need to check new itineraries as they come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triple7tahoe Posted February 9, 2022 #3 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Check the Ruby sailing on February 25th. Many folks from a NorCal TA going both ways on the cruise. We will be on only to FLL but have friends going both ways with a couple of the folks doing Hawaii on each end for 60 days at sea 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelers36 Posted February 9, 2022 #4 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I thought they did this every year at some point or other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VibeGuy Posted February 9, 2022 #5 Share Posted February 9, 2022 With all the redeployments, I might not give up hope that it will be possible in early 2023. I might just try to count on it more than six months out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissP22 Posted February 9, 2022 #12 Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) A good spreadsheet of all the current Princess cruises can be found at Princess Chatter. Do a search for it on Google. It's updated frequently & makes for easy planning. Edited February 9, 2022 by MissP22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
