Caribbean Princess - View from the Bridge

CB is making her first passage through Agua Clara locks and her bridge cam woke up long enough to give us one view:

Here she is in the lower level of Agua Clara Locks...

Thanks for the pictures we will be on the next sailing, counting down the days!

BillB48 can you give me the link to that cam? Would be nice to have it over on Seacruise...EM

Very interesting to see the new locks.

Thank you for providing the pictures/links.....:):):)

No direct live cam link for anywhere on the expansion, at least that I am aware of. Earlier they had a live feed on their FB page El Canal de Panama and also the same live feed was on their YouTube channel Canal de Panama. The live YT channel is still up but running canned programing, don't know if they are going to go live for the trip back down.

I have about 10 screen shots of the CB entering the lower level until she was moving into the middle level which I can post later. Would have liked to get some more, but the real world had to interfere!

Very nice! Thanks!

Thanks for posting. Looking forward to our cruise next year

A few more from this morning...

From the sea looking south with Agua Clara on the left and Gatun Locks on the right...

And into the middle level...

Who is the present Captain, please?

Few more pics from today...

I don't see electric mules. Do I see lines holding the ship back to keep it from running into the tug? Thank you so much for the photos.

Thanks for the pictures!

Love watching ships going thru The Canal! :D

No "mules" at the new locks. Once the ship enters the locks a tug on the bow as seen in the pictures is lashed to the ship to provide forward and lateral control. There is also a tug lashed to the stern to provide assistance as well. The ship will use its engines and thrusters to augment the tugs

Thanks for sharing. Great photos!!!

We are scheduled to sail on the CP end of November. Looking forwards to the new locks. Went through the old locks on the Coral Princess a few years ago on a complete transit of the canal.

Wonderful photos. Just 33 days and a wake up and we will be experiencing this wonder of engineering ourselves.!!

Thanks for posting all these great photos ! We're scheduled to do a Panama Canal cruise in Nov 2018 on board the Island Princess. Looks fascinating.:D Panama Canal transit has always been on our bucket list. -- EBC

Thank you for the great pictures! We were originally planning to be on this sailing, but real life got in our way and we had to change our plans. We are doing the exact same itinerary on the CB next year, so it is exciting to see the pictures! :cool:

Thanks for all the great pix! Looking forward to seeing the Canal! We will be on the CP the end of Nov. we are in L202 balcony room on the 15th deck! Right behind the bridge. My concern is movement and getting seasick, the high deck and being so far up front on the ship! Also it’s balcony is metal sided! Is it obstructed? Called Princess but they were vague on the details!
