Panama Canal: Day 7 - Beci’s pics
May 19th, 2008 - by BeciIts very hard to describe the awe. Passing through the Panama Canal was one of my personal ‘life list’ items and it certainly was a day that I will not soon forget…. especially sharing with friends and people wedged in so tight at the bow of the ship that they are certainly friends now.
And if you couldn’t get close enough for the view, the Disney cruise folks had a camera on the bow, displaying the pics on the jumbo screen.
Luckily Sandy woke up before dawn to secure a spot and happily shared with Deb & me.
and while you could get a fantastic view of entering or in this case, exiting, the locks from up high….
Then there was plenty of room on deck 4 – which actually allowed you some stunning views of what little room the ship had between the wall of the lock and the ship exterior…….
or from your balcony…
Can you tell Chris was kinda excited??
Even if you weren’t on the ship, you could join those at the visitors center. I will never forget when the ships’ horn blew and the place erupted in cheers, including several kids voices yelling.. MICKEY!!
an amazing day indeed.
