PamTiessenWells Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 We booked our cruise today! Yay! Very excited!! Sailing out of NY - never done that before! Boarding NCL Jewel - going through the Panama Canal. 17 day cruise. :) Has anyone done this cruise? Any tips or advice is welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebbieandJerry Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Majorily exciting: NY sailing, Panama Canal AND 17 days!!! Can't beat that. I'll have to research where all you are stopping. Haven't done a NY sailing or 17 days (16 is our top). But we have sailed the canal. Incredible and something that we will always remember.

PamTiessenWells Posted January 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Thanks DebbieandJerry! I haven't read/heard anything negative about a Panama Canal cruise yet. We've never done one this long before. We usually sail out of Miami - got 2-3 days ahead of time and do some shopping! That way it extends our vacation a little and we don't have to worry about delayed flights due to blizzards. (We live in Niagara Falls, Canada) This time - since we are sailing in April - no worries of Blizzards! Since we are saving money on hotel and rental car - we chose a longer cruise. I am SO looking forward to it. Cruising is simply the BEST way to vacation!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebbieandJerry Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Totally agree with you about cruising being the BEST way to vacation. We have been hooked ever since our first one. PamTiessenWells 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shari2 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hi Pam...congrats on your booking. It sounds like a wonderful cruise. I have never sailed out of New York, but have sailed the Panama Canal. I think you will love it. PamTiessenWells 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan115 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Looks like a great cruise, Pam! I haven't been to the Canal yet - it's on the bucket list, though - after Alaska and the Mediterranean - and after the hubby retires from teaching ... someday.

PamTiessenWells Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 This has been a cruise my husband has wanted to do. I actually thought a cruise through the canal sounded boring. lol BUT have changed my mind after all the good things I've heard about it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
