Summaries and Customer Reviews provided by Amazon
SummaryOne of the greatest engineering feats ever, the Panama Canal is becoming one of the world's most popular cruise itineraries. Ports of call span the Caribbean and the Mexican Riviera, but the highlight of the cruise is the eight-hour transit of the Canal in which six massive locks raise and lower the ship 85 feet. Read about the monumental construction of the Canal as well as the history, culture, flora and fauna of this tropical region. Detail provided on popular ports, from Florida to California. Over 400 maps and photos most in color. Includes giant color fold out map of Panama Canal |
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Very good guide
Rating: 
I just returned from a Panama Canal cruise and took this book along, using it every step of the way. At each port I consulted this guide for quick information on history and highlights. Also contains in-depth history on the building of the canal and everything you want to know about it. Also, good map/schematic of the canal itself in pullout format. Highly recommended.
Covered with old library markings and Missing "Large Color Map"
Rating:
Purchased this book for a cruise I was taking. Mildly disappointed that the book was marking Library property all over including the card pocket. But very unhappy that the Large Color map of the area was missing (this was the main reason I choose this book).
Anne Vipond Fan
Rating:
Anne Vipond has taken us to Alaska, Hawaii and through the Panama Canal with her guides. Her books are well written with regional history, cruise tips, and great information on ports. Frankly, we have not found other tour guides nearly as valuable. She will again be in our suitcase when we cruise the Mediterranean in the fall of 2010.
Cruising The Panama--Get This Book
Rating:
I second all the positive reviews this book has received. The book title says it all, "complete guide..". The pages are interspersed with photos, maps, and numerous port details.
I didn't go wrong with this. My thanks to the author Anne Vipond.
Great Read!!!
Rating:
We are planning a Panama Canal Cruise in fall of '09. This updated book seems to have all the bases covered including booking a cruise, port of calls, excursions,ship activities, what to and not to take, weather, maps, hints and tips and of course a great history of the canal. A large detailed map of the canal is also included. We would highly recommemend this book to be bought BEFORE going on a Panama Canal Cruise.
