Just a quick note to anyone interested that the Coral Princess will be going through the Panama Canal tomorrow (Thursday) and you can watch quite a bit of the process on the canal webcams throughout the day.

I don't see too many people up to enjoy the experience... maybe the higher resolution images later will be better.

On her way out of the Miraflores Locks:

Great pics! Reminds me of our canal crossing in Dec. 09. Really illustrates why it's a "panamax" ship.

From your avatar it looks like you're a rally fan too; so am I!

Thank you! Great pics & great weblink.

The Centennial Bridge webcam seems to be randomly pointed at some trees... usually they aim that cam to view the cruise ships going through the Pedro Miguel Locks on their way towards the bridge.

Definitely a fan... and part time Control Marshal as well. My wife and I spend several weekends a year travelling to events to work in the stages (last year we worked at all six national events across Canada) as well as being on the organizing committees of 2 national events here in Quebec.

That ship looks like a ghost town. Great pics though.

Thank you for the post and the awesome pictures. We will be on the Holiday Sailing this year. I saw the balcony of the cabin we have booked. Can't wait to experience the canal in person.

Thanks for the great pics, I can't believe how uncrowded that ship is! Where are all the people?

I agree. Where is everybody?

She's still about 6 miles from the Gatun Locks now, but I'll probably have to be out of the office later so won't be able to capture any pics of her exiting the canal.

And here she is:

 

I'll miss the hi-res pics... I'm out of my office in 10 mins.

Thank you for these webcam shots. I missed the first transit because I was at work. Now I get to watch her go through the Gatun Locks!

I am especially excited because she is on her way to pick me up in Florida!!!:D:D

Here's a slightly different shot of the Coral Princess. Shown here in Pedro Miguel Locks, picture taken from the west side of the Canal in the area for the new channel that will feed into the new lock.
