Panama Canal

[AZqueen]

What is the best time of the year to cruise the Panama Canal? We are thinking about late April of 2008. :confused: AZqueen

April early May is still in the "dry" season - this doesn't mean it won't rain at all, but generally there is very little rain and you will have a great trip.

 

I assume from the timing that you are looking at a repositioning cruise which lets you go from sea to sea but doesn't allow the opportunity to get off and explore Panama, but does give you the complete Canal experience.

You made my day. We're on Serenade of the Seas for 2 weeks leaving San Juan on 4/19/08 thru the Canal to San Francisco. I was thinking rain. Thanks.
