This was a 7-hour excursion, so it was a long day, but we wanted to see as much as possible while in port. The bus first took us to the Agua Clara Locks observation area. There were several buses here so lots of people other than our bus. There were 4 things at this stop, a movie, restrooms, gift shop and the observation area. We were able to watch an NCL ship coming thru the locks, use restroom, waste our time at the movie, and the line was too long at gift shop to purchase anything before we had to get back on bus. The bus then took us on a driving tour of the area, see bridges over the canal, and explaining canal history. We then headed to Panama City for a driving tour of city then got off bus for a walking tour seeing historical area of the city near and around the square. During the walk we did stop for a short while at a little gift shop. There was little or no time to explore on your own, but our guide kept us busy, and we saw and learned a lot about the city and country the entire time before heading back to the port. Personally, I think we made a wise choice with this excursion.

Any excursions to the Indian village community in Colon please?

Thank you for the information. It sounds like a good but long day.

We are on the April 21 cruise.  Right now no real options for Colon.  Can you tell me if they were listed pre cruise or did you book on the cruise?  Were there more options once on the ship? 

 

Also, was there starlink on the ship?  How was the internet?

 

Thank you 

 

We are on the 2/27 10nt sailing and here is a link to my question of which excursion to take in Colon it has descriptions of some of the excursions offered in our cruise planner.  They should be showing up in your cruise planner and it looks like the popular ones book up fast.

Thank you 

We booked excursions online 2 or 3 months pre-cruise. There were several excursions to select from at that time. Since we had already booked we did not check anything on ship.

 

Starlink was not in full operation so internet was sketchy. Should be completed by 4/21.

@GJustice  Is there pizza available on the Radiance?  Sometimes in need of a late night after the casino snack, lol.
