On a personal note; Panama Canal cruise is a must for anyone who love history and engineering, as it is a marvel today as it was when it was first built. My last cruise ever, as a crew-member (and a Cruise Consultant, of course) was from Florida to California, crossing the Canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific, as a guest of the Captain on the Ship's bridge.
