Emerald Princess - 23 Dec -Panama Canal full transit

Three ship day in the canal with Silver Nova coming in through the Pacific side. She’s just now approaching the Pedro Miguel Locks, so you’ll pass each other. That should be very cool. -
You’d think they’d want the workers to have some community access, as a contribution to the locally economy. Since it’ll be a hotel ‘barracks ship’, I don’t imagine gratuities are involved? I’m thinking that the hotel services would be provided by the company and their paid employees.

Maybe only crew and company representatives, if that qualifies as passengers? She does appear to be riding a little higher in the water compared to some of her pictures on Marine Traffic. She’s still at the Pacific Anchorage as of this morning.

For something a little different - ISABELLE, a re-purposed cruiseferry originally from the Tallink shipping company on her way to Squamish, B.C., Canada. https://biv.com/article/2023/11/woodfibre-buys-local-floatel https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_Isabelle

Disney Magic, got that big ducktail going. For some reason, I thought should be going through the Miraflores Locks? Is there a reason why she stopped using them.

Princess Cruises - Panama Canal & Locks Transit By Boat boarding area
dmwnc1959 replied to dmwnc1959's topic in Panama Canal
Which is exactly why I want to do the ferry excursion, to have that ‘closer to the water’ experience I’d not get even from the Panamax cruise ship. And I’m definitely going to be one of those people who will be ALL over the ship. I think the one best things about the ship I’m doing the full transit on is its wrap around promenade deck. Plenty of protected space to get the feel of the canal operations at lock gate level while staying out of the sun. -
