After cruising through the new locks we took the tour to Fort Lorenzo. It was nice, but not too exciting! OUr tour guide left us to explore on our own. I would have preferred the guide that walked his group around and talked about everything.

The cruise through the first lock was very interesting. Our mistake was booking an excursion to take a boat through all the locks and go from the Atlantic side to the pacific side. It was a very long journey both on bus and on the rickety old boat they had.

We had a balcony room but moved to the 3rd deck for a better view. Excellent narrator onboard. I learned so much about how the canal worked. Loved it,

BEST part of the entire cruise! Be prepared to be up at the crack of dawn if you want to see entry into the first lock. They bring a narrator on board who explains each step of the process. I recommend watching the two movies on the history of the Panama Canal in your room prior to arrival, and go to the onboard presentations as well. Just a warning, if you do not book a shore excursion, you CANNOT get off the ship when they tender excursion guest in Gatun Lake. You have to ride back onboard the ship through the first three locks to where they dock in Colon. There are a few shops in Colon within walking distance, but no shore excursions from Colon at all. The port itself is under a massive revamping, as is the entire area which has been neglected for years and over run by gangs and drug cartels. It is now in the process of a massive clean up, but it will take time and money, and patience. We did the Agua Clara Locks and kayaking in Gatun Lake excursion. The photos of the kayaks on board the ship are very misleading. They are NOT closed cockpit kayaks, but rather, sit on top style kayaks and you are sitting in water the majority of the time. Wear your bathing suit and bring dry clothes to change into. They did provide a boat to carry your backpacks that followed our group in case there were any problems. We saw some sloths, a howler monkey, and some birds. Our guide, Joe, was extremely informative and entertaining. He gave us a lot of information about the transition of a Panama, the canal, the city of Colon, etc.
