Colon (Cristobal) Cruise Reviews

This port really was the pits, dirty, very run down, after an expensive taxi ride we gave up and asked to return to the ship. Probably the worst port we have visited on several cruises. I guess if you wished to go on a trip to the locks on the Panama Canal then this may have been interesting, have done a full transit of the canal previously we had no need to do this. ...

Took the train along the Panama Canal. Absolute rip off pricing but nice journey ...

Dirty/good for the Panama Canal but otherwise, wouldn't go there, would stay on ship. ...

Good for nature lover. ...

Colon itself is unsafe however our tour was to Panama City which was a good spot, with cobble stone streets and we visited a few churches. Old town is a adorable ...

We first stopped at the Agua Clara locks which were fascinating. We then took the train from Colon to Panama City. Very scenic ride, well worth it as we rode along side Gatun Lake. Panama City was impressive would like to visit someday. ...

So disappointed in this port. dirty, run down, actually scary - when we walked off the police advised us to return to ship. did an excursion of "supposedly a rain forest" - it was actual a path to the river with tropical exotic plants we have here in South Florida. the cruise in the canal was in dirty water behind peoples homes. did not feel very eco friendly. did see sloths, a crocodile and ...

Two of the three attractions at the observation area were closed. The rest of the bus ride was too long and very boring. The city was very dirty. ...

Our excursion was canceled for lack of participants (they needed 150 for the train to the Pacific). Alternative was not accessible nor covid-safe. We docked at the old pier where there's a relatively new store still building inventory. The exit from the terminal was into a construction area with some shady characters so we just went back on board the ship. ...

Nice trip up to a viewing area for the canal. ...
