Those ships still fit in the old locks. But they are so tight you can almost touch the lock walls from a balcony cabin.

If they want to spread less COVID to the shores or land, put the ships through the new wider locks. Gotta be a good 20 feet on either side of the ship that way.

Oops. We may have spoken too soon. The ships are stopping again, off shore.

Most of the cruise ships were made to fit in those original locks. Those ships Were called PANAMAX.
They were designed to be less than 1,000 feet long and less than 110 feet wide. They just fit in the old locks.-Tom
