There are links at the bottom of the page to the other pages

As shown here, our trip took us from Ft. Lauderdale to Aruba. Then we went on to Cartagena, Columbia. Then to the Canal. It took about 8 hours to travel from the Alantic to the Pacific ocean. Then we went to Puerto Amador, Panama and then to Pundarenas, Costa Rica. Then on to Los Angeles. We traveled 4698 miles over the 14 day cruise.

Precruise we spent a day in Ft. Lauderdale. Here are a couple pictures of the River walk.

Here is our ship, the Island Princess

Here we are, Marian and Dave (of Alberta, Canada) on a formal night

And we made some new friends:

Here are Susan and Peter (of England)

Bill and his sister Judy (of Washington and California respectively)

Dulce and Alfonso (of Mexico and the U.S.)

Every so often we would get some Dolphin escorts.

The second last night there was the balloon drop party

A Pacific Ocean Sunset

And we spent a last night at the LAX Marriott before flying home
