Creator's Key Takeaways

we wanted to do something that was different from our normal spring break cruises in the Eastern and Western Caribbean

if you really want to do it right you should really do the full Transit

this is a closed loop 10-day Panama Canal itinerary from Fort Lauderdale

the biggest Pro here is that this is a closed loop itinerary out of Fort Lauderdale

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider a closed loop itinerary to avoid airfare and hotel costs
Research excursions thoroughly, especially for the Panama Canal transit
Opt for a premium cruise line during spring break to avoid crowds
