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.
