Island Princess - Panama Canal

What time does the ship enter the locks in the morning?

[Richard in Panama]

The usual proceedure with cruise ships is to pick up the pilot at 5-5:30 AM and usually be at the locks around 6:30-7:00AM. All depends on traffic and if there were any problems on the night time convoy. Generally things run about on that schedule.
