May 2018 - 15 Night Panama Canal Westbound (Ft. Lauderdale To San Diego) Cruise on Celebrity Infinity
Favorite Cruise so far!
We achieved two bucket list items - Panama Canal transit and catching a marlin. We had a fabulous time on the Infinity, felt right at home, and didn't want to get off!! I would highly recommend our Celebrity Suite to anyone - with a separate bedroom, my husband (who gets up before me) was able to get up and get some coffee, catch up on emails, and not bother me at all.

Cruise tips
Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida
Very nice layout and easy embarkation process.
Very pretty older city, but the people trying to sell you things were so bad (in your face, following you around, stepping in front of you, not taking no for an answer), we have no desire to ever return.
Private tour with Thumbs Up took us all over Costa Rica. We saw the rain forest, iguanas, toucans, scarlet macaws, capuchin monkeys, crocodiles, etc.
We didn't visit Colon itself (which is in bad shape), but had a fantastic private excursion through Robtad's and had a wonderful time seeing the locks, and Old and New Panama City.
The port doesn't really have much to offer. We took a ship tour to the Pacaya Volcano - very interesting.
We just walked around the city for awhile and then went back to the ship.
Nice layout and easy disembarkation. We took an Uber to the airport, which was also very easy.
Very long, very exciting day - this feat of engineering, prior to computers, completely amazed me - what a fabulous experience!
Rented a fishing charter with JCSPortfishing and caught a marlin - tons of fun!!
Loved George Town, but disliked the local tour we took there.
We didn't particularly like the port which was developed just to attract cruise ships. But we really enjoyed our tour with Native Choice to the Chacchoben Ruins.
Our Hop On Hop Off Bus was disorganized and not very well run. The bus they provided to the airport broke down on the highway.
Celebrity Equinox
Be sure and explore - there are so many great places and venues that you probably can't take advantage of all of them in just one week.
Very walkable - we walked from the ship to the Southernmost Point and back, visiting Hemingway's Home and Sloppy Joes on the way.
Some of the sellers were very pushy, but we enjoined our jeep tour of the island.
