kteachcruiser52 Posted November 17, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I had hoped for a canal transit when the Miracle was scheduled to do the charter cruise, but now the Pride is doing it. What do you think the chances of Carnival having a canal transit by 2017 are? I am wondering if I need to look at other cruise lines. My husband is leaning toward a canal transit for his retirement cruise in 2017. (I chose Hawaii for my retirement cruise.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradUT Posted November 17, 2015 #2 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I enjoy a Carnival cruise as much as the the next guy, but for a retirement cruise of the Panama Canal, I would go with another cruise line. We cruised the Panama Canal a few years ago on Princess Cruises and it was fantastic. Princess, even with the various cuts in service that all the cruise lines are doing, is still a classy operation.

joeyancho Posted November 17, 2015 #3 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Check out Princess. I know this doesn't answer your question, but when we were looking at canal cruises it seemed to be the best fit for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taters Posted November 17, 2015 #4 Share Posted November 17, 2015 We did the Panama Canal on HAL and loved it! If you want to book a full transit, I wouldn't wait for Carnival. Princess and HAL are great alternatives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted November 17, 2015 #5 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Splendor will be doing a PC cruise in 2016/2017 when the new canal opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted November 17, 2015 #6 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I have done the canal on both Celebrity and HAL and both were great. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
