I’m OK with a smaller line, and cost isn’t the issue, but my hubby is comfortable with Princess and not a big fan of change. It took me 12 years to get him on his first cruise; I’m just happy he’s become a fan of cruising! Thanks for the info, though; we’ll work on it.
Also, I believe that the smaller lines have bad news options for passengers. Celebrity or Crystal carries Fox, I think; not sure which.
I need to get some information for you and Ann Archy but can’t get it until this Friday when I will be having lunch with a friend who will know.
The railroad is available for cruise passengers that will bring them to Panama City. It’s a great trip. The train goes along the canal until it reaches Balboa (Pacific side) where tours start. This way you can leave Colon behind (McCain’s birthplace).
I just don’t know what shipping lines take advantage of this. This is what I need to find out. You need to ask at your end too. We will then compare notes.
I don’t know what type of ship Ann Archy plans to sail in.
