Thanks for letting us travel along with you! My group is traveling through the Panama Canal on the Emerald Princess next April on the total solar eclipse cruise, so reading about your experiences was particularly interesting. I am seeing conflicting information on the internet about the Sanctuary, and I'm hoping you can enlighten me. Is there a delivery fee for food in the sanctuary (even when ordering off the Sanctuary menu)? Also, I see references to Evian misters, which sound refreshing when transiting the Panama Canal or when the ship is somewhere else that is pretty hot. Do the misters have a fee? (Fees aren't always a BIG deal, but I don't especially like cost surprises.) Finally, when you chose and paid for the Sanctuary for Panama Canal day, did you feel like you had to stay there the whole time? (As in, to get your money's worth.) And if so, was the view adequate? Were there any downsides to choosing the Sanctuary for the Panama Canal? Thanks!
