Oh, even better:
Amsterdam to Fort Lauderdale on the Holland America Line, then a Panama Cruise from Miami to Los Angeles and then a trip from Los Angeles further north. One problem, even more time and more money needed
(the trip from Amsterdam to Fort Lauderdale is 32 days as it will cruise the Mediterranean as well
)
That's the problem, I love cruising (found out during our last trip, our Panama Canal cruise), but it's so horribly expensive. A trip from Southampton to New York is around $1500 for the cheapest option, and takes 8 days. So, a round trip will take 2 weeks and at least $3000. And then I don't even take into account the money to even get to Southampton.
Our plane ticket to Miamia and from Los Angeles was about $800. And took 12 hours each trip (total flying time).
