  1. I note Explora Journeys ships are not on the list…possibly because it is a new line, extension of MSC. Explora l has length of 813, beam 105, so within Panamax dimensions. Yet today, 3/28, she is transiting through the new locks. EM
  2. Do you have a medical emergency? Otherwise, why are you heading back to Panama? You are supposed to be halfway to Puntarenas…
  3. Lots of suggestions on the Florida Departure board, under North American Homeports.
  4. Pack the laundry bag as you are unpacking and give it to your steward the first night. EM
  5. Pedro Miguel cam…sorry I missed her passing, you can barely see her approaching the Cocoli Locks in the upper left. And entering and leaving the first Cocoli Lock.
  6. On Seaside the Sports Bar and Seaview Lounge opposite often were empty during the day. The Sports bar has not yet been invaded by slots… Seaside has a second, smaller buffet on deck 16. It is only open for breakfast and lunch, so afternoon and evening you might be able to find tables there.
  7. Yes, wish they would replace this cam…but part of it is the angle of the sun in the mornings. There will be two more cams, one overlooking the Pedro Miguel locks, and the cam at Cocoli Locks. Ship can also be seen passing by the Miraflores Locks. They can be found at multimedia.panama-canal.com. EM
  8. Have you considered any other cruise lines? Carnival’s Dream class and newer have Deluxe OV cabins that have the twin/king, sofa bed, and two uppers. Also a split bath: two showers, two sinks, one toilet. EM
  9. I expect the teachers would like to know the schedule earlier, too. They take vacations, too. EM
  10. You look to be having great weather for transit day. Are you above the bridge, or down around the bow?
  11. Suggest you visit the Ports of Call board that includes the Canaries. We were there on Dream in 2009 but just walked around. Easily walkable. EM
  12. You might ask on the Florida Departures board, as some locals might have suggestions. EM
  13. It took 7 years for the Sunshine Skyway bridge in St. Pete to be replaced. But they still had one span working. EM
  14. Just a comparison…the Spirit class of Carnival and Vista class of HAL are the same tonnage and are built on the same vista hull. EM Gatun Locks pics
