I  Can't  trust Amtrak this time, i can't be late for this ship, which  is cost me $4,000.00 plus. My Mom was going on this trip, but few health problems come up and she can't go now. Its just me on the Princess Ship Now.

Does Princess Lines have casino games?

Yes. I will be going too the Casino few nights on the ship.

Here's the Panama Railroad I remember with my twenty two month stay in Panama 1965 to 1967 courtesy of Uncle Sam. You could go from the Atlantic to the Pacific in less time then a Concorde. Loved the humid climate and the rain.  I never would have thought that SP domes would be running down there.

I understand the shuttle from the airport to the hotel now has a $10 per person fee.

Its Free for me Princess is pay the bill.

I believe Kansas City Southern operates the Panama Canal Railroad.  I had a chance to
ride it a few years back and it was a very delightful trip.  The guide on board was a colorful
character named "Charlie" and he referred to his lady assistants as his "Chalie's Angels."
I rode in a former SP dome car that had been completely redone and it was a delight to
ride in.  Much of the trackage runs right by the canal and locks.

No, you are the paying the bill. How much did you pay Princess for your cruise?

I too was down there at that time period. I was not able to take any pictures, unfortunately. I found out later that the original passenger cars came from The Cumberland and Pennsylvania during WW 2. I can't help but wonder if the cars in your picture are the same but with upgraded roofs.

A betting pool would be fun. $10 buy-in, winner-take-all, for nearest HH:MM of #91s arrival at Tampa.

The Princess ship departs Fort Lauderdale.
