I bought this as a Christmas gift for two octogenerian first time cruisers. It was a huge success. Contains lots of background information and, I'm told, there was some squabbling over who had custody of "the book" during the transit. Highly recommended by the users (and lots of brownie points for me!).

Excellent guidebook
24 Sep 2011
Format:Paperback
We are going on our second Panama Canal cruise and bought this guide for our trip along with two other books. We really liked this book because it not only provided an excellent and detailed history of the construction of the canal, backed up with maps and archival images, but really gave you a feel for the ports we are visiting before and after the cruise. There is a large pull-out map of Panama Canal at the back of the book which shows in detail the locks and, with notation, explains sights along the way. Walking tour maps of each port showing attractions, color photography and great shore excursion information make this book a valuable addition to our short list of items to pack. Highly recommended.

Panama KCanal by Cruise Ship: The Complete Guide to Cruising the Panama Canal 4th ed.
18 Feb 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I found the book to be the best available to give you information on this cruise. The sections on the Panama Canal were very interesting, including the building of the Panama Canal. This book also reviews ports that are visited by cruise ships from the eastern US coast to the western US coast, which I didn't realize when I purchased the book. I found some of those chapters helpful, but somewhat outdated. The sections on the Panama Canal were very interesting, including the fold out map, which is very handy when you cruise through the canal.
A great resource

Not having gone through the canal, I have no way of verifying just how accurate the book is. However, I do believe it is an excellent reference for anyone going on a Canal cruise. It is comprehensive and detailed both as to the actual layout of the canal and its history.
In addition, she covers many (if not all) of the ports commonly visited on a canal cruise.
Finally, I was impressed by the sections covering the geology and weather system of the area.
Overall, this is a must have book for the region.
