Creator's Key Takeaways

We were Leary on booking this cruise with Emerald Princess. 12 days on a cruise ship is a long time.

We've never been on a cruise ship for more than 7 days.

Come with us on this half transit Panama Canal Adventure!

We didn't take an Excursion on this one we didn't know if we took an Excursion if we'd missed the locks or not so we elected to stay on the ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book excursions after the locks to avoid missing them.
Check pool depths if you're not a strong swimmer.
Try the New York cheesecake for dessert.
