Panama Canal Cruise Dec. 09

Leaving on the 12/7 from L.A. on Coral Princess. Have cruised with Princess many times in the past and will are excited to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary on this cruise. Are there any land tours/drivers/cabs, etc. (even Princess tours) you would recommend? Ports of call are Cabo San Lucas, Acapulco, Huatulco, Punterenas, Costa Rica, Puerto Amador, Panama, Cartagena, Colombia, Aruba ending in FLL. We've toured the Mexican Riviera a few times with drivers successfully. We'd appreciate any help you can offer.

Congratulations on this milestone anniversary! You may want to try posting this at www.cruisecritic.com. Go to the port boards or maybe the Princess board as well. I think you will get some ideas there.

Here is the link. It may be helpful for the ship but we have only the CS port in common. We did spend three days in ACA precruise so if the OP has any ?'s please ask. Larry

Congrat.'s on your 50th. We will be leaving the Coral Princess on Dec. 7th when you are boarding. Enjoy the Cruise. We only cruise Princess. We are not planning any tours, just 15 days of relaxation on the food barge. Then 5 days in LA and back home to Florida. Then, a 10 day New Years Cruise on the Ruby. I'll need to go on 2 diets. There won't be enough food in one.

Happy Golden Anniversary! We did a ship's shore excursion in Puntarenas and thought it was great. We did a river cruise through a mangrove forest in the morning, then had lunch and did an aerial tram tour of a rain forest in the afternoon. We had great guides, saw and learned a lot for just a day in this beautiful country.

Thanks for your good comments. I'll keep watching to see if any one else can recommend land tours for any of these ports. Getting really excited as 12/7 is right around the corner.
