this was our first platinum cruise with princess and a great experience. Embarkation was smooth and efficient and we were on board and settled well before we would usually have been.- definitely worth persevering with the loyalty program!
the itinerary was just what we needed - a mixture of islands and mainland destinations with Panama as the ultimate focus. En route Cartagena was delightful - easy to get around - no need for a tour - just exit the ship and find a taxi to the old town.
Panama did not disappoint. the partial transit was a splendid experience, sedate but continuous and a spectacle to enjoy. worth messaging home to let friends know of the live feed and they too can share your experience.
As good as always, however o don't understand why princess have replaced TVs with oversized ones which impinge on the windows
Walked off the ship and found our own taxi to th walled city at a fraction of the tour cost
A must to enjoy the full coast to coast Panama experience.
Took a local taxi ride around. Not as thorough as it could have been , but still enjoyable
