Grumpy and Grandma 740 Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 From Yahoo/USA Today: A new era for Panama Canal cruises kicked off over the weekend as a passenger vessel transited the waterway's new, bigger locks for the first time. Disney Cruise Line's 83,308-ton Disney Wonder passed through the 10-month-old locks on Saturday as part of a 14-night voyage from Port Canaveral, Fla. to San Diego. From San Diego, the ship will head northbound to Alaska, where it will spend the summer Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Thanks for sharing this tidbit, Grumpy/Dave. I didn't know there were new locks or that the Wonder was the first cruise ship through them. Since you've been through the canal before, please remember to give us a report on how the experience is different the next time you cruise through. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
