10 Night Panama Canal Partial Transit (Ft. Lauderdale Roundtrip)

Sail date: February 18, 2017

Ship: Island Princess

Traveled as: Large Group

Reviewed: 4 years ago

Review summary

Our group 8, married couples ages in 60’s. Loved the history! Traveled different forms of transportation through the Panama Canal and worth it! Get a balcony and make sure you’re on side when going through lock. Get up very early to get good view on upper deck. Make your banner!!
