Weather for December Panama Canal cruise

[bbjaspan]

We are planning on taking the December 4 Panama Canal Cruise on Celebrity's Summit ship. Would appreciate information on the weather to expect at this time of year. Is this sun-bathing weather, rainy season or what?

Thanks

Hot and humid in the Canal Zone.

we were on last years Panama Canal cruise on Galaxy and the weather was absolutely fabulous - no rain - sunny every day.

We had mostly sunny weather this past December. As Druke I said, expect the Canal Zone to be hot and humid. We had a mix of sun and clouds in Cozumel with a little sprinkle (just a few drops - not even a shower). It was windy and there were rough seas going between the Canal and Grand Cayman. The result was that all ship-booked snorkel and scuba tours were cancelled for all 4 ships in GC.

All in all, however, the weather was pretty nice. The chance is always there, however, that a storm system will come in from North America.

The weather actually in George Town was very nice (sunny and warm) and we had the same in Belize and Costa Rica.
