    I've done it a few times, 1st time is great or 1st hour :) its just like saling down a canal. Used to work on a ship.

    Most of ships have videos playing showing canal been built so you actually appreciate it.

    Most ships just do cruise about 15 days to reposition. Winter/summer. Most ships are east to west spring time on way from caribbean/europe to alaska/hawaii and back down sept/oct.

    They are normally cheap cruises as not many other ports of call, repo cruises are always cheaper.

    I would say lots nicer cruises out there but depends on what you want.

    Have a look on cruisecritic.com i'm sure they have section on panama canal.

    Thanks!

    TBH we are looking at a week honeymooning in Mexico and rather then 2 weeks on in a resort id like a week of doing something different so being over that side of the atlantic i thought something like a cruise from Florida down to the Canal and back up on same side maybe jump off in mexico on way back.

    Do the Cruises go in June/July?
    Whats the peoples age group on board, dont want a party boat or an OAP cruise?

    Preddy,

    Only posted a question about Panama cruise this morning. Had seen it in a wedding magazine and thought it sounded great for honeymoon.
    Each cruise company only seem to do a couple of them a year any of the ones i looked up either went in Jan/Apr or Sept/Oct/Nov.

    They all seem to be for 13/14/15 days. I looked up the more popular cruise websites and find out info that way. Celebrity Cruises, Royal Caribbean and i think Norweigan Cruises.

    If i find out any more info i'll let you know appreciate if you'd do the same
