Creator's Key Takeaways

We're on the lovely Serenade of the Seas on our 16- night cruise from Fort Lauderdale to Los Angeles, California via the Panama Canal.

You will get hassled constantly by scores and scores of sellers all trying to sell you a tour.

It's a pretty nice uh shopping mall actually. Um I I'm trying not to be too disparaging about it, but there is a lot of hassle factor here.

She's our home for 16 days as you know on this Panama Canal to Los Angeles, California cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Be aware that you will be constantly hassled by sellers offering tours and taxis in Colon.
โœ“Bear in mind that many stores may be closed on Good Friday due to the religious period.

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Hey cruise fans and welcome back to Ray and Sue's Travel Channel. We undertook a 16 day cruise on the beautiful Serenade of the Seas in April 2025. We sailed from Ft Lauderdale through Grand Cayman, the Panama canal and visited various stops in Guatemala and Mexico, finishing the cruise in Los Angeles, California. In this video, we stop at Colon, Panama and go for a walk around the port area and the adjacent shopping area. Enjoy.
