Transiting the Panama Canal has been on my “I’d love to do list” for quite awhile. This week I was able to do the transit on the Coral Princess through the old locks. We went from the Atlantic to the Pacific and the entire transit took about 12 hours.
Going through locks was definitely the highlight and the ship went through 3 locks to raise 88 feet in elevation to the Gatun Lake. Hours later, three locks lowered us down to sea level again.
The scenery was beautiful and the history behind the canal is amazing. Very excited to see another location on my “list”.
