I have done 1 partial.

It started as I would like to see it. I booked a cruise, lost my job, kept the booking but saw another cruise to Mexico that was much cheaper. It was one of those, you better grab it now or it would be gone tomorrow. I switched cruises saving 2000.00. Same amount of days and same category. Not seeing the canal was no big deal.

A couple of years later I received an email from a TA advertising a partial canal cruise. I actually thought the price was wrong but it was only 3 weeks away and I thought maybe it was a last minute deal. We already had a cruise booked for later in the year, but the price was too hard to turn down . We booked the cruise and had a grand time.

I enjoyed the canal a lot more than I thought I would. We did not leave the ship and take any tours. We enjoyed going back through the canal.

The canal is not on my must do again list, but I would not object to doing it again, if the price were right. Lots of times I think the price is high because of the canal. I can do a 10 day Southern Caribbean cruise for less.
