We took a fantastic
cruise in December of 2004, completely through the Panama
Canal. The ship that we could take during our
brief vacation time, was the Legend of the Seas, run
by Royal Caribbean. Needless to say, the Panama Canal
is awesome. It was great to take a ship that completely
traversed the Canal. (Many ships only enter
a lock set and then turn around and go back into
the Caribbean.)
The ship primarily stopped in Mexico and we enjoyed several ports of call along the "Mexican Riviera". In the Caribbean, she stopped only in Aruba, but it was well worth the visit.
This cruise took place during Christmas, so we had a fun time on the ship, with decorations (some of our making), parties, and, of course, food.
