Roktory Posted August 7, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 7, 2019 When I first booked this cruise I was interested in seeing the new canal, at that time there was a Shore Excursions to the canal visors center, along with many other for lake Gatun and surrounding area. Today I was looking at Shore Excursions and I found that our cruise sails into lake Gatun and then sails back out with no Shore Excursions listed. Am I missing something did Panama become unsafe, or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catl331 Posted August 7, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 7, 2019 When is your cruise? They might be making changes, but I really doubt that no excursions will be offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted August 7, 2019 #3 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Agree...could it be too soon for excursions to be listed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roktory Posted August 7, 2019 Author #4 Share Posted August 7, 2019 the Cruise is Nov 20 - Dec 1 2019, the funny thing is they were listed when I booked it but not now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted August 7, 2019 #5 Share Posted August 7, 2019 HAL has had a lot of problems with their site. Give it time -- those shore excursions should pop back up any time. There were always several offered when we did your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally there is a boat cruise around the locks, Embera village and several others. I would suggest the OP just call the shore excursion number (below when you look to book tours on the same page) and they may be able to help. when you do the Sunfarer, you MUST do a HAL tour if you want to get off the ship. It’s a Panama Canal rule. Often the excursions are picked up at the exit point of Gatun Lake. some like to stay on the ship and others do the tours. Either way, you can’t go wrong 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
