Got this bee in my bonnet that I need to do a Panama canal cruise. DS will be finishing up elementary school and once he gets older I won't want to take him out. As it is, he'll miss almost 10 days if we do this, but I know the school, teachers and administration well, and I truly believe he'll learn more and have more memories of a cruise than 2 weeks of school so that's really not one of my concerns. (He's smart and will be able to catch up anything he missed).
So, tell me about the trip. Is it as amazing as I'm thinking it is?
How are the seas? (We've done North Atlantic and down the East coast with a storm coming so I think we'll be fine, but best to be prepared)?
I'll have an 11 year old. I've heard there's fewer kids on the ship, but few enough to make it less fun for him? My guess is he'll still want to spend time in the club/lab but might like to check out the older club, too.
Looks like it's about half sea days. I can't imagine being bored, but did you feel like you were ready to be back on dry land?
Any one want to talk me into or out of this trip? Is it the trip of a lifetime? Any other advice would be awesome! Thanks!
