Railway tour was worth the money Our tour guided explained that this will be the last one under current ownership. Canadian railway company is purchasing the Panama railway The cars are period Correct 1920s A different perspective watching ships Transit the locks from land

Princess is a very poor choice overall if you’re bringing kids. It’s all older folks, and so few kids onboard that they’d be bored to death in the kids club
