Didn't see this answered, but either 10x$30 or 9x$30 (not counting boarding day - it's really a 10-night cruise as opposed to 10-day cruise as you don't get 10 full days).

 

In years past, I have paid 7x $15 (old price) for a week cruise and 9x $15 (old price) for a 10-night.

 

 

I asked when we came up. It’s $275/single or $540/couple for the entire cruise.

 

Our single afternoon reservation was $20pp.

Yes, Destination Expert Chris Roberts gave an interesting talk in the Princess Theatre about the canal. He’s also doing talks about the other destinations. He’ll also be doing a live commentary from the bridge as we transit the locks.

Thanks. I'll be looking forward to them on our Panama Canal cruise in February. I really enjoyed them while on the Island Princess.

In the Sanctuary, does everyone get afternoon tea or do you have to order it individually?

In my experience, they bring it about 2 PM on trolleys and wheel them around to each person. But they don't wake you up.....You snooze, you lose!:(

We’re on the full-transit boat excursion. After tendering to shore, we boarded a nicely air-conditioned motor coach. After about a 45-minute ride, the first stop was the Colón Travel Center for a washroom break.

As expected, the line for the women is 10x the line for the men.

You can also purchase drinks and snacks here.

We arrived at our destination to board the ferry about 11:35, but have to wait on board the bus until the ferry is ready for us, about 12:15. The bus is nicely air-conditioned, and there’s LTE cell service! (No WiFi on the bus, however)
