No; I have not done the Panama cruise before. My sister has and she loved it. We’re going round-trip from/to Ft. Lauderdale. Ship turns around in Gatun Lake, I believe, so we’ll go through twice.
Recommend you read up on the history of the canal before you go. Hopefully, youll have a guest lecturer onboard to help guide you through the history and the locks. We had an anthropologist from San Diego onboard who gave daily lectures on the history of the canal and then guided the passengers as we went through the locks.
