In this video of our Panama Canal cruise we share what it's like to cruise from Los Angeles, California to Fort Lauderdale, Florida through the new locks of the Panama Canal aboard the Princess Cruises Emerald Princess. This was our first time booking an obstructed view stateroom on a cruise ship and we share a tour of the oceanview stateroom and our thoughts. Mama Russo and Aunt Jan joined us on this 15 day cruise through the Panama Canal.

So great that you guys sailed with your Mother and Aunt. My Mom was my cruise buddy. I lost her year and half ago, and I miss her so much. Cruising isn't quite as special without her along. Spend as much time with your Mom as you possibly can. You will miss her much more than you think when she's gone.

@Weretherussos 4 месяца назад

Awe so sorry to hear that. I know how it feels as I feel that way about my dad

In 2015 we did the 15 day cruise from Ft. Lauderdale to LA. I loved every minute of it. In the 70s we lived in Ft Clayton. The back of our house faced the Miraflores lock. I was able to see our old place from the ship. This was the best place as a kid out of all the military bases we stayed. I would definitely do this cruise again.

Thanks for taking us all along with you! I've been on one cruise, the Mexican Riviera, which was a lot of fun - once I started taking Dramamine while out on the seas, and letting it clear out of my system when we were pulling into port, so that I could enjoy some libations on land. I was able to watch the port pilots jump onto the ship coming into port, and back off when leaving, which was pretty cool. I described the ship as a floating hotel and restaurant that took us to different ports. The wife and I want to take an Alaskan cruise after we retire, along the inland passage, which allegedly is so calm that I won't need to worry about being seasick.

Love cruising last one was a European river cruise up Danube with canal locks. We could see the passings from our cabin window. We were not allowed to open our balcony door while going through the canal's locks, sometimes there were two or three per night.

Thank you for this wonderful vblog. I was looking at this very same cruise today for 2026. After watching your video i plan to book my cruise as soon as the dates become available. Thank you so much and i subscribed to your channel today. Winderful vblog as someone else commented it felt like i was there with you. 😊

Which direction do you want to sail?

@deborahsugden8028 4 месяца назад

In November 2019 I sailed on the NCL Bliss for a 21 day cruise from L.A. to N.Y. so very similar to this cruise but visited quite a number of southern Caribbean islands. And that wasn't even the best part - I booked 2.5 months before the cruise and was able to score a great deal on a balcony cabin - I am a solo traveler so this was a super great deal. Previously I did an 11 day cruise in a studio solo cabin which was also fine. The studio lounge was a really nice perk. I made a cappuccino (for free) to take to up breakfast. ☕

@Weretherussos 4 месяца назад

Joel and Kait, for the last few months I have improved my video-editing iMovie skills, which is a lot of work. This effort makes me appreciate your movie-making skills even more. Your cinematography, production and editing is simply superb. Even though this about the Panama Canal, you are #1 in RV RU-vid. Other RV influencers take note.

I’ve been looking for a princess 15 day Panama cruise video for an entire year. Not only was this the only Princess 15 day video I found, but it was the perfect video. Not too short, not too long, just enough detail and clips to keep you interested without giving too much away. Thank you. I loved the clip of the ladies “shaking what their mommas gave them”, amazing! It looks like you had a very enjoyable cruise, and I am that much more excited for my trip departing in 24 days! Can you please provide a little more detail on the standstill traffic in Cartagena. Do you recall what time you were headed back to the ship? Was the traffic bad all day, or predominantly on the way back to the ship? Thank you. We have a cooking class scheduled, and have given ourselves 1.5 hrs to get back to the ship… I’m now a little concerned that could be cutting it short! And on that note, would you mind confirm if ship time is the same as local time? Thank you. Our itinerary says we leave Cartagena at 3pm, but I cannot find information anywhere to ensure our plans of attending the cooking class will in fact pan out as planned!

@Weretherussos 4 месяца назад

So our departure time was 5pm and we left the old town at 2:40 and were dropped off at 3:30. It was about a 10+ minute walk back to the ship. Traffic was pretty hectic most of the day but I don't remember it being as bad earlier in the day. I would suggest contacting the people putting on your class to ask what they think about timing to get you back in time. Note, since we were on a tour, we didn't have to look for a cab. I don't know how easy/difficult it would be but there are a LOT of people outside the port who would be willing to drive you around - just arrange it so you don't pay until the end of the day so that they wait around for you. Also, ship time when in port is always local time.

Love your cruise videos! Do you drink the water on the cruise ship from tap? Or do you filter the water you drink thru a 3rd party device? We are cruising next year and this was a huge question mark for us!

@Weretherussos 4 месяца назад

We drink it right out of the tap. It’s well filtered on the ship. We typically bring large water bottles with us and fill them from the machine in the buffet.
