Stuck At the Panama Canal Update - CRUISE NEWS
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides an update regarding the Emerald Princess transit through the Panama Canal following a delay caused by new health protocols. The ship was initially denied entry because Panama authorities changed testing requirements for the bridge crew from the day before to the day of transit. After waiting for several hours and anchoring, the cruise line successfully negotiated a rescheduled transit. This process required making room among many waiting cargo ships that had booked slots months in advance. As a result of the delay, the ship will skip Bonaire in the ABC islands. To compensate passengers for the change, Princess Cruises provided a one hundred dollar onboard credit to everyone on the ship. The creator notes that while the itinerary has changed to include twelve sea days instead of eleven, the ship is still expected to arrive in Florida on schedule. The delay was attributed to a sudden policy change that occurred seventy two hours before the ship arrived at the canal.
