Panama Canal Help

[JetCruister]

Hello,

 

Does anyone know what time we will hit the Miraflores Locks? We are cruising from the Atlantic to the Pacific. We enter Gatun Locks around 6am on April 3. I know it can take anywhere from 8-10 hours, but was looking for a time frame. Any help would be appreciated! Also, how far is the Centennial bridge to the Pedro Miguel and Miraflores locks?

 

Thanks!!:)

There's no way to give you a timeline because there are so many variables, especially the number of ships going through the locks. There could be one or two ships or a whole lot more, and they are lined up by the canal officials.

Cruise ships pay top dollar to go first thing in the morning. You will get to the locks between 2 and 4 PM...

 

This map should help you...http://henstridgephotography.com/Photos/Panama%20Canal_013.jpg

Thanks for the map. We're going in 2 years. It's nice to have a visual.

There is also a web cam at the Canal.

Go to the port of call forum "Panama" here. There are lots of folks there who are very familiar with the canal transits.
