Creator's Key Takeaways

I am on a 15-day Panama Canal cruise starting in Los Angeles and ending in Fort Lauderdale

we have two stops in Mexico the first one is in Puerto Vallarta and a friend of mine and I plan to go to tour some art galleries

our original itinerary had San Juan Del Sur but there is some political unrest going on in the country right now unfortunately and our cruise ship will not be docking there

we got a notice from princess that says there was Nora virus on board so our embarkation was a little bit delayed

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Pack Clorox wipes and masks for health precautions

✓Stay at a hotel near the port for convenience

✓Book a taxi instead of the hotel shuttle to avoid crowds and delays

✓Ensure you are going to the correct terminal to avoid luggage hassles

✓Try the premium desserts on Princess
