Creator's Key Takeaways

We are transiting the Panama Canal. We are crossing it from the Atlantic to the Pacific side

We definitely made a good choice to come up early, as painful as it was

I'm really excited to be going through those smaller older locks

Thank god for the drinks package or that would have been a very expensive experiment

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get up early to secure a good spot on deck for the transit
Use the drinks package if you plan to try multiple cocktails

YouTube Video Description

Join us on our Windstar Cruises aboard the Star Pride as we are transiting the Panama Canal. We had an early morning to make sure we got a good spot on deck and you let us know if you think it was worth it. Throughout the day, we got to watch the ins and outs of this engineering marvel, all guided by a Panama Canal guide, We took in the views, drank a few cocktails and somehow, never went for a nap! Join us for the day and dinner at Quadro 44. It was such a unique experience to go through the Panama Canal from the Atlantic to Pacific ocean. - Watch all our https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3EXReGe-_oXPPPxsQQXRe95HineHoJUh videos - If you love travelling on the water, watch all our https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3EXReGe-_oWcPfJes5nI750WNPqRDkop videos - Read and see more in all our Windstar Cruises blogs https://flyingfluskey.com/tag/windstar-cruises/ - Check out 7 Reasons to Cruise with Windstar Cruises https://flyingfluskey.com/7-reasons-to-cruise-with-windstar-cruises/ Acknowledgments Thank you to Windstar Cruises and Jerne for an amazing gifted trip.
