Thank you Essiesmom!  Why can't the Princess description of this excursion be as clear as yours?  Frustrating!

We're sailing on the Island Princess on Dec 6 on a partial transit canal cruise.  We are looking at the Agua Clara Locks and Kayaking Excursion for our time in Panama.  Has anyone taken this excursion?  My understanding is that we will miss the ships transit of the canal if we take this one.  Our ship is scheduled to dock in Cristobal after the partial transit.  If we decide not to take the excursion, anyone have any suggestions for things to do there?  Thanks in advance for the information.

We have planned an Alaska cruise with another couple. We made plans to travel together, but used different cruise agencies to book our cruises. We just learned that the other couple is canceling their cruise because of a job layoff. We purchased Travel Guard Choice coverage which covers trip cancellation if the insured or Traveling Companion is terminated from employment. I've called Travel Guard two times this morning trying to get a read on whether they would approve a claim from us for canceling because our friend lost his job. They were noncommittal, but read me the definition of travel companion: "means a person or persons with whom the insured has coordinated travel arrangements and intends to travel with during the trip." We would prefer to cancel and go when our friends can go, but don't want to take a chance on having our claim denied. Anyone out there have a similar experience and can lend some guidance? We are scheduled to cruise in 10 days, so need to make a decision soon! Thanks for any insight you seasoned cruises can provide! Susan R
