I am cruising on the Island Princess Oct 7, thinking about doing the Limon aerial tram or the jungle boat ride. Has anyone else "been there, done that"? Does anyone have suggestions for Colon. It is hard to find information about panama canal excursion. Any help would be appreciated. This will be my first time on Princess, been 3 times on HAL.

didi,
As you probably know you can go to the Princess website and get their version of the various shore excursions. We are aboard Island Princess October 27th and will be anxiously awaiting your review.
We plan to take the Railroad trip from coast to coast and have opted for the regular rail car. Did see one review on one of the boards that mentioned the dome car was pretty warm even with AC.
Have no info on what you actually asked for, Good luck.

Im also on the Oct 7th Island. On cruise critics there is a thread for this date and several people. I did most of my research on cruise critics destinations. I just recently switched from dome rail car in Colon to Ocean to Ocean. Its a ferry boat cruise that goes through the locks to the Pacific. I am reading Path between the Seas, definitive story of the building of the Canal. I decided I have to go through the Culebra Cut. SInce I'll probably never go Trans Canal, I want the full experience. But look at the PC destination boards on cruise critics and decide.

We did this itinerary last year and did the jungle boat ride. It was awesome and I would do it again in a heartbeat. You get to see lots of wildlife in their natural habitat. The sounds and sights are great - tour operators are very knowledgeable. Linda
