Pacific Passage – Panama & Acapulco

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from April 4, 2027. This one's 16 nights from Tampa, and the route visits Santa Marta, Cartagena, Panama Canal, Acapulco, Cabo San Lucas and Seattle. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. Last stop: Seattle. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. The Caribbean route takes in Colombia, Panama, Mexico and United States, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. You get around 8 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Carnival Legend keeps you well fed. 8 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. Suits retirees, remote workers, or anyone who doesn't need to be anywhere else for a while. An April departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
