About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

Did you know... • The Panama Canal locks act like a giant water elevator, lifting ships ~85 ft using gravity alone. • Some original gates from 1914 are still in use—each weighing up to 750 tons. • One ship transit uses 50+ million gallons of water from Gatun Lake. TLDR; You absolutely should add the Panama Canal to your bucket list. 🔒⚓️🚢 #panamacanal #princesscruises #cruisegram #cruiselife #reactions
