Later this year we're going to take a two week cruise in the Caribbean
aboard one of those big sailing cruise ships, ending up with a transit
of the Panama Canal. I haven't been back to Panama since I was a
little kid and I'm looking forward to it.


Do they actually transit the canal or do they just go up to the lake
and back? I am guessing that only gets charged as one trip.

I'm not exactly sure at this point although I was told we were going
to transit. We fly back to Miami from Panama City which is most
definitely on the Pacific side so I'm guessing that we'll be docked
there also. Not sure what the next itinerary for the boat is although
I'll try to find out. It's possible they'll do something in the
Pacific, or it's possible they'll just go cruise back to the Carib
with a new load of passengers. In that case the cost of the second
transit would just get expensed back to the next cruise budget.

Update: We're going to dock in Balboa which is on the Pacific side.

Here's a picture of the boat:

OK, I got it. I had looked at some that were round trip on the boat.
(like that Bright Horizons trip)

They will load up a ship load and bring them back the other way on
your cruise. I suppose you could board in Balboa if you wanted.
