Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm very glad that I decided to get off the boat in Colombia but it is as scary as I thought it was going to be and very aggressive sales people everywhere

it was a really good excursion and our tour guide was very fun and informative

I would do that excursion again in a heartbeat

I'm not happy at all with the internet on the ship the fact that you have to pay per minute I'm not the kind of person who can disconnect ever

Creator's Tips & Advice

Stay in normal tourist areas and travel with a companion for safety
Be aware of aggressive street sales in Cartagena
Consider the emerald jewelry making excursion for a fun experience

YouTube Video Description

Part 4 of my Panama Canal cruise vlog on the Coral Princess - a day in Cartagena, Colombia! I took a Princess excursion to learn how to make emerald jewelry and to visit an emerald museum. Even though I was terrified to get off the ship, I am glad I did and really love my handmade souvenir! The tour guide shared a lot of interesting history and information, I hope you enjoy. Next time we'll be doing the Panama Canal transit in the Sanctuary, a fabulous experience I highly recommend. It is totally worth the money, especially if you don't have a drink package! Regarding any first world problems I whine about (internet): I am always happy and grateful to be traveling/on a ship but I also share my full and honest experiences.
