Treacher1 Posted January 2, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 2, 2017 We are going to sail the Pearl - Panama Canal. We are NOT doing the full transit - to the lake and then turning around to sail back to Miami with several islands on the way. Does anyone know how many locks we will go through since not doing the full transit. Thanks for any information - just curious and anxious.

From the Atlantic side, there is ONE lock to get to the Lake. You'll go thru the Gatun Lock Edited January 2, 2017 by computerworks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger719 Posted January 2, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Just got back from that cruise...the Gatun Lock(s) are made up of 3 locks....each lock has a rise or fall ( depending on which way your going) of approximately 28 - 30 feet .... I believe the total is about 86 feet. Real interesting , they open up the bow during the transits. The transit back from the lake is a lot less crowded for viewing since a lot of folks leave the ship for excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am interested what time the theater shows start. Any information you could provide would be helpful. Thanks in advance. Didn't keep the dailies but have notes on most things.... All shows in the Stardust Theater are at 7:15 and 9:15 each night. Oh What a Night was on the 2nd night and Legends on the 10th night. 1st and last nights are Welcome and Farewell shows... A little sampling of everything. The other nights were a comedian ...a hypnotist (twice) a card magician and variety show plus a singer. The only show, I think that's sure to be there will be Legends in Concert which was outstanding. Let me know if I can answer anything else.
