What are the best cruise lines for cruises through the Panama Canal? A lot of people have been having a hard time looking for some good reviews online. So I decided to dig deeper and deliver you some really good information that will help you make an informed decision on which is the best cruise line to take.

Volendam (Holland America) – A passenger was able to take a partial transit of Panama Canal and remembered that all of the HAL ships have curled around promenade decks as well as opening the bow which they did while in the Panama Canal.

Oceania – The passengers went on a smaller ship with many mature people on board and recalled the food as being very good and at the same time very expensive.

Princess – A lady said that the ship was good but she usually goes for bigger ships but the problem is that they can’t fit through the canal. 80% of the crowd were around 60-70 years old, 5% were older and the rest was in their 40’s and above. (more…)

At this time of the year, when spring is fast approaching, we start to think of that much-wanted break. If you are looking for something different, you can get on a cruise.

Tips in planning a cruise:

* Who will join the cruise? The number of people, the ages and the sex are to be taken into account.
* Your budget. This is very important or else everything will be spoilt. The common knowledge is you need to allocate at least $100/person in a day, excluding airfare. Booking in advance (9 months before) or take risk and book late (2 months or less in advance) will minimize the costs. Your budget will also determine the length of your vacation, the schedule of the cruise and the cabin.
* The places you are to see and the activities offered by the cruise. This must be discussed and agreed upon by everyone.
* Dinner time. Cruise offers three choices – early dinner (6 pm), late dinner (8-9 pm) or the open dinner (6:30-9:30 pm). You are given the freedom to choose to fit in your schedule. One thing which you need to know is that some ships have assigned seating and thus, you will be asked of your preference. (more…)
