- I completed a 13 day partial transit through the Panama Canal Holland America Line Rotterdam.
- I booked an interior room to save money and I’m glad I did.
- I spent very little time in my room and never missed the incredible views.
My grandmother was an avid cruiser and took over 100 trips during her retirement. The only cruise she absolutely insisted I take was a Crossing the Panama Canal.
These crossings are popular (and often expensive) because they offer a rare chance to cross the Panama Canal and see how its incredible 12-lock system helps ships. journey between the Atlantic and the Pacific.
So, following his recommendation, I booked a 12-night partial Panama Canal transit on Holland America Line Rotterdam.
I decided to recreate her experience with one exception: she navigated into a room with a balcony, and I always book interior cabins. The cruise cost me $849 plus $460 in taxes, fees and port charges.
Here’s why I don’t regret choosing an interior room on such a scenic trip.
