What are your ports?

As you go thru the canal it's nice to see the locks from different vantages, ESP. fore and aft so move around a bit.
I am sure there will be a historian on board so attend the lecture and learn about the history of this wonder of the world. I was amazed.
I am sure you will enjoy your 1st cruise and you picked a beauty. Larry
Portdane,
How did your cruise go? Any recommendations for excursions? We are booked for the Panama Canal this spring thought Holland America.
Thanks,
