Will a solstice class ship do Panama Canal?

Any thoughts, rumours?

Even with the new locks now, the S-Class ships still cannot fit under the Bridge of the Americas on the Pacific side. There was discussion a couple of years ago and news articles about stack modifications on Solstice allowing it to fit under Lion's Gate Bridge in Vancouver. That would also allow it to fit under the Bridge of Americas. Not sure if this ever happened though.

Actually the offending appendage was actually a forward mast. The mast was altered so it could be lowered to clear the Lions Gate Bridge. Hoopster95 provided some pics of the Solstice sailing under the LG Bridge. Scroll down to the third pic and you will see the mast in the down position. As far as I know the Solstice is the only ship in this class that has had that modification. Doesn't look like the modification would present any problem if they wanted any other of the Solstice class ship to go to Vancouver or the Panama Canal.
