snowlight Posted March 4, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Hi all, Looking for a Panama Canal itinerary that traverses the historic locks, and it looks like both these ships would. If prices and the rest of the itinerary were equal, which of these ships would you recommend for a 14/15 night cruise? Two non-lively adults (parent/adult-child), this is a bucket list trip for the parent. I have read reviews of both ships but it's hard to get a sense... I've cruised with princess before but never HAL. Thanks for any insight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted March 5, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 5, 2023 HAL is less pax on that ship & usually caters to more mature people Either would work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, entertainment is one of the biggest differences between them so since you're self-described non-lively, I recommend the Zaandam. HAL is a really nice cruise line, and the size of Zaandam seems perfect for a destination cruise like Panama Canal. Princess is a nice cruise line, but I do not like their lack of a seating area in the standard cabins. On Zaandam, you'll have a couch in your room.
