bbqgrlluvs2cruz Posted October 28, 2008 #276 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Ok I dont know and the only way to find out is ask lol :confused: . Does she still have to go through the gatun locks? If so about when will that be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critterchick Posted October 28, 2008 #277 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Jean, you should see a tab that allows you to select Centennial Bridge. That I have. But it seems like the only high resolution is for Miraflores, then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrp96 Posted October 28, 2008 #278 Share Posted October 28, 2008 that looked really close--what is the clearance? She probably only had a few feet on either side at most. On Brilliance the clearance didn't look wide enough for a person to slip down in there. Ok I dont know and the only way to find out is ask lol :confused: . Does she still have to go through the gatun locks? If so about when will that be? Yes, she will have to go through the Gatun Locks to exit the canal. How long that will be varies depending on the traffic, but usually it takes about 8 hours for the full transit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfcathorse Posted October 28, 2008 #279 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I think Rick posted that they were going to be at Gatun around 5-6 pm our time. But then the arrival at Miraflores got backed up so I'd guess Monarch will be around Gatun by 6:30-7 pm EST. P.S. - how ya doing Wrona, we had snow here last night! It's not going to stay though. Say hi to Shawn for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long that will be varies depending on the traffic, but usually it takes about 8 hours for the full transit. I guess I have time to get some work done, then.:p Although I'm still in mourning, now I'm REALLY excited about our upcoming cruise through the Canal!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FL_Cruiser64 Posted October 28, 2008 #281 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I think the Monarch is still stuck at the Pedro Miguel Locks. You can see her in the background: [IMG]http://southern-florida.net/stuff/07.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjldvlks Posted October 28, 2008 #284 Share Posted October 28, 2008 From looking at the Miraflores lock pics - it looks like she has not gotten to Centennial bridge yet. It looks like her in the distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that the bridge link auto refreshes, but it lets you right click and save as:confused: so were all those people watching locals? remoinds me of the ta we just did from England---in Cobh & St JOhn's locals came out to meet the ship & sail her away--it was fun[/quote] Brenda - We also enjoyed the send off in Cobh and St. Johns. It reminds me of the old days of sailing and I thought I probably should have my white gloves on and a fancy hat. :) Thanks to those who posted the great pictures of the Monarch in the locks.............reminds me even more of how much we miss her.

She has to pass through those before she will go under the Centennial Bridge and come into view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

critterchick Posted October 28, 2008 #288 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Well, isn't that interesting! The Miraflores webcam is up and running now that Monarch's gone through... Good thing the hi-def camera was working! I have to go, too - hope there's a photographer or two out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfcathorse Posted October 28, 2008 #290 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I wonder if, for security reasons, they turn off cameras when a passenger ship goes through... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrotheadtoo Posted October 28, 2008 #292 Share Posted October 28, 2008 [COLOR=Navy][SIZE=3]Ahoy Cruise Critic Posters: Thanks for thinking of the other posters, and sharing those awesome pictures of the Monarach. We will be sailing on her a few weeks after drydock out of Port Canaveral, Florida. We can't wait. Happy Cruising to all. :) [/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tahoemc Posted October 28, 2008 #293 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Can't copy the hi res blow pic that shows her down at Pedro Miguel. But it appears she may have passed the locks - seems to be sitting higher in the water now. Yup, she is coming into view in the Centennial Bridge cam.

Jennifer823 Posted October 28, 2008 #295 Share Posted October 28, 2008 [quote name='wolfcathorse']I wonder if, for security reasons, they turn off cameras when a passenger ship goes through...[/QUOTE] No, I saw a Princess ship go through the Miraflores locks yesterday afternoon. They were really zooming in to people on their balconies, too. LOL I have a question for you all.. I'll be on the Monarch in December, and just got my cabin assignment - 8012 (obstructed oceanview) Anybody know how obstructed the view will be? Thanks :) It's actually an upgrade from a deck 2 inside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrp96 Posted October 28, 2008 #296 Share Posted October 28, 2008 [quote name='crazy 4 cruising']how many locks are there? boy I sure am panama canal stupid:eek:[/quote] There are 3 sets, Miraflores, Pedro Miguel, and Gatun Locks. Miraflores I believe is a set of 2 locks. I think (and I might be misremembering) that Pedro Miguel is only one lock. Gatun is a set of 3 locks.
