Celebrity ships in Panama Canal

For the terrific photos...

 

It strikes me as odd that the ship's bow was available for guest sightseeing during the canal transit on Millennium but not Infinity... Anything more to the difference than Captain preference/whim?

We were on Millenium (westbound) last spring & also passed Infinity in Gatun Lake, however, Infinity allowed passengers on the bow & Millenium did not. The Millie Captain at the time, Zisis Taramas, said that he does not allow passengers on the bow due to safety concerns unless Miami puts it in writing, which, according to him, they won't.

Captain Taramas was our captain on Mille for this cruise and he did allow pax onto the helipad for a lot of the transit. Perhaps Miami got him to change his mind? :)

We were allowed on the helipad in the afternoon on this trip. Maybe people started asking about it when they saw people on the helipad on Millennium. Deck 11 on the bow was packed when we went through our first set of locks. It was much less busy for the Gatun locks as people went to other places on the ship. :)
