Just wanted to know who has been to see the Panama Canal. Is it worth spending the money to see? Carnival has a tour but its $189 per person. Thats a little pricey for us because we have a 6 year old, and I dont want to spend that much money on her for something she wont enjoy anyway. Does anyone know of a tour company there that might do it for cheaper? I would appreciate the help.

I don't have any real advice for you, but my mom and I are going to Panama on the MIracle in March. Even though I prefer to not book an excursion with the cruise lines, we are going to do so with this one...no matter the price. Since it's a long excursion, there would be the risk of running late....if we book using Carnival, then the ship is guaranteed to wait for us...

We just came back from a cruise and we went to the Panama Canal. Did the coach and train, I personally feel with a young child it would be a very long day.You have a very long ride on the coach once you are are at the canal there is not much to see, after all it is a canal! The train ride back was the best part. we did have an excellent quide but I was so tired after it that we cancelled the next days tour and stayed on board. Enjoy your cruise

We just got back from Colon, Panama on the Freedom. A couple we know have a 3 year old and they did a ship excursion and she stayed at Camp Carnival. They normally would not have done this, but they knew we were not going on an excursion and would be there for their little one ( we were on their emergency list)...should there be an issue.

Four tours were late getting back but the ship waited an hour for them all to return...since they were ship tours.

They did the train tour. It used to be train there and bus back....but their tour was trying something new. They did the train there AND BACK....no bus.
