Flamingo Gardens Wildlife Sanctuary
Riverwalk Arts and Entertainment District
Bonnet House Museum
As well as being one of the top global ports to start and finish your cruise, Fort Lauderdale has plenty to do either side of your ocean adventure. Why not take a trip to the Flamingo Gardens Wildlife Sanctuary, peruse some culture at the Riverwalk Arts and Entertainment District, or take a boat tour through the everglades and waterways as well as passing impressive Millionaires’ Row.
Sailing through the Panama Canal is a special experience, and this full transit of the waterway will let you see this modern marvel of human engineering in its entirety. Cutting through Central America from Panama City to Colon, connecting the Pacific Ocean with the Atlantic Ocean and saving ships weeks of travel time, this lock-based waterway was completed in 1914 – an impressive feat that was realised after decades of problematic construction. On a sailing through the Panama Canal, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy the incredible natural landscape of Panama alongside the impressive Bridge of the Americas in Panama City, Gatun Lake, and the narrow Gaillard Cut.
Just west of Panama City, at the Pacific Ocean entrance to the Panama Canal, Fuerte Amador is one of the most unique ports of call on any Americas cruise. Not only does this destination afford you the opportunity to marvel at the Panama Canal, one of the world’s most impressive feats of human engineering, from afar — with the viewpoint at the Miraflores Locks a particularly good spot to do this – but it’s also a port of call that’s just a short distance from both the bustling urban centre of Panama City and the vibrant tropical jungles that surround it. This destination really does have it all, with every kind of traveller finding something to enjoy here, from impressive colonial era historical landmarks like Panama Viejo and the Metropolitan Cathedral of Panama to interesting cultural attractions like Biomuseo and Mi Pueblito – the latter being a unique outdoor theme park featuring faithful recreations of colonial and indigenous buildings and exhibits on Panamanian folklore. Those of you who want to spend your time ashore connecting to nature a little more, however, will want to venture further inland to the Soberania National Park; just a couple of hours from the cruise port, this is a breathtaking slice of the tropical paradise that covers so much of this unique Central American nation and home to historical trails dating back to the 16th century.
A beautiful port town in the Gulf of Nicoya, Puntarenas features a combination of natural and manmade attractions. From the bustling Casa de la Cultura with its theatres, art galleries and other attractions to its wildlife sanctuaries and reserves, there’s something for everyone in this vibrant port town.
Famous for the cruise terminal building’s giant thatched roof resembling an Aztec pyramid, Puerto Chiapas drops you straight into the local culture like few other cruise destinations right as you step off the ship. Outside, you’ll be greeted to musicians, and locals selling their wares and cuisine as well as the ability to take tours to such wondrous tour destinations as the Izapa Mayan ruins, Tapachula city and the famous chocolate city.
Santa María Huatulco is a popular tourist spot for those cruising through Mexico due to the amazing indigenous Aztec architectural ruins in close by Parque Eco-Arqueológico Copalita. Here, visitors can explore pre-Spanish Mexican history by seeing the ancient temple and famous ceremonial ball game court, while the Bocano Del Río Copalita Museum boasts numerous wonderful artefacts obtained from the site.
Nestled between the tropical lush hills, Puerto Vallarta is a popular Mexican cruise destination due to its lively downtown area and local resorts cruisers have access to. Depending on where you dock, you’ll have access to a nearby resort where you can eat, sunbathe and make the most of the pools and other activities. Meanwhile, if looking to head down town, just take the bus or the taxi for 15 minutes for cool bars, shopping and restaurants.

The ship was a little tired but the helful staff and the fun made up for it in so many ways. For instance we were watching a movie under the stars and one of the staff asked it we were enjoing it. We said yes but it was a bit chilly and in an instant we had warm fluffy blankets. So typical of Princess Cruiseline

Good atmosphere, great shows and excellent lectures, but the ship is dated and requires major refurbishment. The qualify of the food in the buffet is mediocre. The Excursions staff need retraining in customer care. They caused chaos at disembarkation by asking the passengers to go from deck 7 down to 5, and then back up again, with many carrying heavy luggage with them. Internet access is expensive.
