we are "regular" cruisers.....we did the Panama round trip via Ft. Lauderdale .....10 days.

Our vote without hesitation, is Princess. They do offer anytime dining (most lines do now), along with traditional. On any cruise the so called formal nights are optional. There is no requirement to dress formal.

The size of the ships used in the Panama canal are dictated, obviously by the width of the canal...hence you will find all the ships that go through the canal to about the same size....they will all be 105 feet or less wide and they can only vary the length so much per foot of beam (width).

In our opinion, Princess is one of the most consistent level of quality and service cruise lines of all we have used.
