NCL Pearl - Partial Transit of the Panama Canal - December 8 -> 19, 2016

Wednesday, December 7 - Travel Day

Before I start reviewing the cruise, I thought you would like to know a little about the person writing this. This is my 31st cruise. This will be my third NCL cruise and my first on the Pearl. My other two NCL cruises was an October 2005 cruise on the NCL Star to the Mexican Riviera and the maiden voyage of the NCL Jade, which was a full transit of the Panama Canal. This time I am only doing a partial transit of the Panama Canal.

Cabin Review

Penthouse with Large Balcony

Cabin SE

Fantastic cabin for the Panama Canal because of its forward facing balcony. The room is roomy (it is a full suit) and the balcony is big (I'm guessing 12' wide and 18' deep, 6' of which is covered). Has his and her safes.

Port Reviews

Cartagena (Colombia)

Sightseeing tour of the city.

Colon (Cristobal)

Took a tour of the area with a taxi.

Puerto Limon

Toured area with a taxi.

Belize City

Taxi tour of the area. Tours areas the tour buses do not go. Much more interesting.
