Is there any cruise line that does a partial Transit of the Panama Canal from a West Coast port?

The only place to anchor, wait for excursions, and turn around is Gatun Lake, which is quite a ways from the Pacific side, so this does not become economically viable.

Yes, a limited number. Like one, or maybe two in a Canal "season".
