Creator's Key Takeaways

we were going on the Panama Canal and Caribbean cruise which most cruises to the Panama Canal are kind of both right

one of the best things you can do is plan on being extra sweaty because you're going to be dealing with humidity

if you're prone to motion sickness I would definitely wear them a good amount at the time

I think Royal Caribbean is a good choice I also think Norwegian is a good a good choice because Norwegian has a solo lounge

Creator's Tips & Advice

Plan for hot and muggy weather on Panama Canal cruises and pack breathable cotton clothing.
Wear SeaBands if prone to motion sickness, especially when waking up or before boarding.
Consider a 5-7 night cruise on Norwegian for solo travelers due to solo lounge and activities.
Tip bartenders extra in cash if desired, as gratuity packages are already included.
Buy reef-safe sunscreen on Amazon before your cruise if excursions require it.
