Book written for CRUISERS going through the Panama Canal - Cruise Line Fans: Cruise Forum, Reviews and Chat From Real Cruisers

In Barnes & Noble I saw a really neat book:

Panama Canal By Cruise Ship by Anne Vipond

I would have bought it but it was a bit frayed. Glad I didn't because there's a 3rd Edition (October 2008) which I plan to order on line from Barnes & Noble.

My copy of Panama Canal by Cruise Ship came in last week and I do highly recommend it!

My favorites are the Large Pull-Out Map of the Panama Canal and the Mile-By-Mile guide of the transit! Also, there's an interesting and easy to read history of the canal, etc. ... with lots of pictures.

What I didn't expected to find was not only information on the port of calls in Panama ... but also information about every possible port of call (Centeral America, etc.) on a Panama Canal cruise!

Whether you sail from Florida, California, or any other path (partical or full transit) ... your ports are covered in this book.

Thanks LuLu! I'll have to get that one before our transit in September!

Oh, Char, do get this book! It's really good!
