this was a great way both to see the locks from the inside and the outside

moving the ship into position is a slow careful process

I was unduly excited to see the Windstar star Pride really hope to take a cruise on this or one of its sister ships

I didn't want to miss anything

YouTube Video Description

In March 2024 we took two separate tours to the Panama Canal. One was a lunch cruise on the Canal culminating with a partial transit, and the other was a trip to the Visitor's Center at the Mariflores Locks. This video is about seeing the Canal from those two tours.
