I don't believe this is even a partial transit.

Just a port call at Colon.

Looks like almost all 5 night cruises or less after that one, was looking for early 2019 and that's all I was able to see

Booked mine this morning too! Got a great deal on a balcony and $100 OBC! I have a feeling this one-time 9-day cruise will fill up fast! And it just opened up for bookings two days ago! Love the itinerary! Never been to Panama or Costa Rica! I'm super excited! :D:D:D

We did the Panama Canal (partial)11 day on 2013 with HAL - we enjoyed it immensely. We used local tours (not the cruise line) smaller groups in Panama and Costa Rica - great Zip lining in Costa Rica. The canal is so interesting. Does the ship go into the canal at all?

Interesting itinerary from Galveston.

 

Arrival in Colon at 11 AM. Would you expect there would be a ship excursion to see the canal with such a short stop?

They will likely have tours to both the new and old locks. There is enough time for a partial transit boat trip (small boat from other side of Gatun Lake) or the train. Not sure I get why a cruise would go to this port without going into the locks, but looks like that is what this one is.

The ship will have excursions, I believe there was a bus that goes on the road beside the canal and a small boat that you can actually take on the canal. It all depends on how long the ship is in port. The HAL ship was there all day arriving at 4-5am went into the canal to the lake then we got off if we had excursions. People that stayed on the ship went back thru the canal to the Atlantic. The new canal was not completed when we were there, I believe it is huge!

Would love to do Panama Canal on Enchantment. Many great memories on her.

What or how far in do you think it will go? How many places can a ship turn around?

There is a lake, we did partial on Hal also, got very close to west coast, saw a few sloth's also.

I don't think the ship transits any locks at all. I believe it's just a port call at Colon.

Well dang, that is not a Panama Canal trip.

I expect there will be some excursions to the locks, but that's about it.

That's a little strange , but I know that they charge each ship a lot of money per passenger to go thru the locks
