GREAT EXPERIENCE GOING THRU THE LOCKS

We stayed on the ship during the transit. It was interesting, but after you go through one lock, the rest are the same. It is interesting to hear the facts about how the canal was built. We liked how the TVs in the room broadcasted the entire transit.

A once-in-a lifetime experience with an excellent guide who provided information about current activity as well as the history of the canal. This was a long day, but so exhilarating when we sailed under the Americas Bridge and into the Pacific Ocean.

We did the full Panama Canal experience and felt it was money well spent to go through locks in a smaller boat. Well organized, but a long day.

Great tour of the Pabama Canal. Tom gave a great talk on the Panama Canal prior to our arrival.

Very interesting passage thru locks. You have plenty of time to watch the transit from different locations (Room balcony, front of dining room, decks (front and back)), so you dont have to get up ultra early to secure a spot. Each location gave a different perspective. We passed under the Atlantic bridge at 7 am and were positioned in front of the first lock by 8:45. By 10 we were in Gatun Lake. Took the Gamboa Rainforest tour. Took tender to shore and boarded a bus for an hour tour of the countryside. Arrived at Gamboa Rainforest Resort and toured for 3 hours, including taking a tram thru the tree tops. A snack of small sandwiches and a water were waiting for us at the bus. I suggest you bring along small snacks and water for daytime. Tour and guide were very good and was worth its cost. **On a side note, about 100 passengers took a ship excursion thru the locks in a small boat, and got stuck on the other side because of some issue with the locks. Since it was a ship excursion, the Princess waited for their return, which wasn't until about 8:30pm, before leaving port.

Was fun learning about the canal. Learned a lot. I appreciated the information shared by the very knowledgeable speaker on the ship.

Best part of the cruise (especially from an engineering perspective). Made the whole cruise worthwhile.
