Karen, the Panama Canal cruise is interesting and reasonably well-priced, particularly for a 17 day cruise. But that's a bit long for many people still working, isn't it? We've all done the East Caribbean two years ago on FUN1, right, it has many of the same ports, and it's the same length and price as the Bermuda cruise. I'd rather do something different, and I think the Colonial America - Bermuda - Bahamas cruise is a really great itinerary.

April-May is the high season in Bermuda, or it used to be. We wanted to go for a week or long weekend in early to mid-May a couple of years ago, but couldn't get an acceptable reservation (the hotel we honeymooned at, the Sonesta Beach, was closed for renovations, and the other 4-5 star places were booked up).
