Creator's Key Takeaways

I literally don't think there's anything they could have done better. They did amazing.

If you're going to do this cruise, which we think you should, do the one that goes all the way through the canal.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Do the full transit rather than just a peek if you want the complete experience.
Look for the helipad area for a great view, but be prepared for a mad dash.
