Have a look at the marine traffic web site

The Ship goes to Gatun Lake where it anchors for a while. the only passengers that can get off the ship there are the persons booked with HAL excursions. The only thing there is a dock where the tenders go for passengers to get on their excursion buses. So it is a HAL excursion or nothing. The ship normally gets back to Colon about 3:00 pm

Thank you very much for your help and information. I do not like calling from Bermuda as it is very expensive.

I have this cruise booked for April 8th to 18th 2016. the cruise departs on a Friday. There is also a Roll call for it. I do not know where you get your dates from.

Does anyone have an idea of the numbers in The Christian Fellowship Group on this cruise

The dress code on Windstar during the day is what ever you like, people normally wear shorts and shirts or tee shirts. Evenings is Long Pants and a collared shirt. I had problems with my posts yesterday I was trying to post last night on my Ipad. I did my Reply to this question and I submitted the reply it kept posting and old post. I could not delete it only edit. This morning I am responding on my PC

If HAL cannot keep up visa information for the passengers how do they know who to deny boarding to

Hal now says that a Jacket and tie are appropriate, but collared shirts and long pants are suitable. I may not have got their wording precise

Does anyone know if The Island Magic Steel Band still performs on HAL. I saw them in 2011 or 2012 in the Carribean. I am going on Zuiderdam next April and would love to see them again.

I am wondering if they have a pull across curtain like on the Vista Signature Suites

This is normal on any cruise ship. If you leave your data services on then it will automatically connect to the service that connects via satellite back to your provider. It is expensive.

I just had a quick search on the web and found prices for Limos from Ft Lauderdale to Disney for about $600

I am outside the U.S. living in Bermuda. I booked directly with HAL. Did you book through a TA that might not be the reason why. Do you have an account on the HAL website? If so login go to my account then My Resevations then it should be at the bottom right of the page.

i just checked online for my view booking and check online payments. The shore excursions OBC just shows as on board credit

2 years ago I did the Puerto Caldera to Colon cruise. I used a company to pick us up at the Airport and take us to our hotel in Arenal. They organized 2 days of tours for us also took us to the cruise ship. I had researched the tours we wanted to do. They were not cheap but they were not expensive. All the drivers were very prompt and very professional. The company was Costa Rica expeditions

Normally you need a boarding pass to get into the port area. I cruised from Tahiti about 15 years ago. I think the port area was very open then and you did not need any ID to get in. But times have changed. I would always take one to be on the safe side.

I am booked on Zuiderdam in cabin 8090 which is in exactly the same position on the port side. I did a lot of research but the information is that the area on the lido is carpeted and you do not get any noise. After looking at the deck plan I think it would be the same for you. The noisy areas I have found are if you are under the pool areas. Where they cleanup and reposition the furniture at 6:00 in the morning

We have always viewed from the balcony in front of the gym. If I remember corectly you go towards the gym and on the right there is a door out to the balcony. The advantage of this is you can easily move to view both sides of the transit

I am British with a UK passport and I live in Bermuda. To visit US I have to get an ESTA which is travel authorizeation for the States. It is very quick to get online and lasts a year. You can print out the ESTA but the information is attached to the U.S. Databases. I would have thought it would be better for you. Check with your travel agent.

My April 2016 Zuiderdam signature suite has gone up $300

I am on Zuiderdam on April 8th 2016 and I booked my cabana 2 or 3 weeks ago

I have been on Star 3 times and have not seen anything like a last night party

i used Costa Rica Expeditions as our tour company. We stayed in Arenal at the Nayara Hotel And it was the best hotel I have ever stayed in. The grounds were beautiful and all the rooms are separate casitas and they are huge

We did the Puerto Caldera to Colon 2 years ago then stayed on the ship as they were doing a transatlantic an stopping at Bermuda and we got off at home. Pre-Cruise we went to Arenal for 3 nights and did 2 days of tours. We booked all the travel from a Costa Rica tour company. We had a driver from the airport to the hotel and then two days of tours and then a driver took us to Puerto Caldera.

In Colon we did the Windstar tour to Panama City doing one of the lock areas on the way and then toured Panama City after that they dropped off people at hotels and the airport. Then we were taken back to the ship

2 years ago, on wind star we did the Puerto Caldera to Colon and then on Bermuda where we disembarked. In Colon we did a shore excursion that went to one of lock observatories and then on to a tour of Panama City. It then dropped of people at the airport and hotels. We then stayed on the coach back to the ship. I am not sure what time we got to the airport but I think it was early afternoon. This could be useful for you
