We've been to all of the ports multiple times, so we plan to stay on the ship on port days. Sea days are our favorites - we enjoyed the WBTA we did last year, but Panama Canal is still the best for us.
We were having a hard time finding a flight home after the WBPC that either wasn't too early, or didn't have an impossibly short connection time, so this week we booked the 4 night on the Wonder that sails the next day.
Christi, so sorry to read this morning that your 4 night cruise got cancelled. I hope you find a good option for flights home. We have done various things when in Cozumel, some booked on my own and some through Disney. We have done an all inclusive resort day, swam with dolphins and sea lions and fed manatees, snorkeled and spent sometime with rays. On our first visit we did port adventure CZ46 Three Reef Snorkle through DCL. On our second visit we booked a dolphin excursion on our own. A similar one is CZ04 Dolphin and Manatee Encounter in a National Park All Inclusive. We spent time on our next visit at an all inclusive beach club that we booked on our own. Disney’s CZ15 Cozumel Beach Break for Families is at the same place. Our last time we did CZ64 Everybody Loves Rays! through DCL. We have enjoyed all of them. In Puerto Vallarta we have mainly stayed on the ship. In 2023 we did PV03 Paradise Beach Adventure. They had just been hit by a hurricane prior to our arrival and it got switched to a different resort that was not really set up for that excursion. The first year in Cabo we took the tender in and booked a boat to take us to Lover’s beach at Land’s end. I would not do this again as the beach has been greatly eroded by a large hurricane years ago so getting in and out of the small boats is a little crazy. We did it many years ago and it was much easier/safer. Last year we did my absolute favorite port adventure that we have done in Mexico. It was CL36 The Ultimate Sail and Snorkle. The food provided was amazing. The cruise to the Snorkle spot was relaxing and beautiful. The Snorkle area was not my favorite, but they feed the fish from the boat, so many come right up to you. They had stand up paddle boards to try. They had a photographer who took loads of pictures. You could buy them at the end of the day. I don’t remember how much the photos were, but remember it seemed reasonable. We had a beautiful sail back to Cabo and out past Los Arches and Lands End. It was a beautiful day. I hope some of this helps!Hi Cindy
I'm Christi, traveling with my adult daughter Angel. DH is also currently booked, but most likely will not end up going with us.
My birthday is during the cruise, as well as our anniversary.
Panama Canal is our favorite itinerary. Our first was WBPC 2022 on the Wonder during covid protocols. We also did the Merrytime EBPC 2023 on the Magic. Merrytime is our favorite time to sail, and the Magic is our favorite ship, so the EBPC 2023 has been our favorite cruise.

We did originally consider adding on the b2b on the Magic that was cancelled yesterday.
My daughter also likes getting the characters in their various outfits. Unfortunately, the Panama cruises haven't been doing any unique outfits like they used to - the Tropical, Mexico, and Beach outfits have all been retired. They do offer some really nice Duos and Group character meets though.
