We got back a week ago from a two week vacation in Central America. We started with 3 days in San Jose, Costa Rica, went on a 7 day cruise from Puerto Caldera, Costa Rica, to Colon Panama. If you're thinking wait, those are in different oceans! You would be correct, our Ship, the Star Pride (Small ship, 300 guests), transited through the Panama Canal. This was a bucket list adventure for me. I expected to see great things, and the transit exceed them‼️We then spent 3 days in Panama City.
