Gatun Locks Melodie, that is the one with the big camera view :) Are setting your alarm clock too? :D The early one is the only one I will get to see, Tom and I have appoints to get our hair cuts mid morning, then luch plans with friends, so will miss the other two locks. pancanal.com always seemed to be a good choice. Typhoon, oddly I could not get that site to come up earlier today but it does appear to be fine now. Thanks:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like being in a hurry :eek: Yes I guess it means it is almost cruise time!!! tomorrow is my day off and there has to be those right number of days between getting a hair cut and going on a cruise :cool: It cannot be just a day or two before because then it may not be quite how you want it to be, and too many days before it has lost that new cut / style look :) Now nails and toes are best to be done just a day or two before if possible ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a hair appt. next Friday for color/cut...and then will get a mani/pedi sometime next week when I return to the mainland. I'm so in the habit of having the mani/pedi in Fort Lauderdale when we cruise from there....that's not an option this time. I'm such a "creature of habit". :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted April 27, 2012 #12 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Thanks Lisa:) For once being on Atlantic Time makes life easy;) I'll be catching this - thanks so much for the heads up:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTBob Posted April 27, 2012 #13 Share Posted April 27, 2012 When we went through the locks on the Zuiderdam my wife got confused with all the time changes and we were waiting for them to open the door to the bow area at 4AM. Needless to say we were first out and had a great view. It was a great experience and I remember it well. I loved that cruise and it really made me a HAL fanatic. Next up is the Baltic on the Eurodam, can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes these things have to be planned out. Yes nails and toes just before leaving.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted April 27, 2012 #17 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I'll try to be here for some of it. Too many tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapper1 Posted April 27, 2012 #18 Share Posted April 27, 2012 We had a few anxious moments late yesterday afternoon when the general alarm sounded. The captain came on the PA sounding breathless and announced that there was smoke detected in the incinerator area and the fire team was responding. He kept updating us and in the end it was determined that a malfunctioning fan had been the source of the smoke and the fiire was where it should be---in the incinerator. I had the safe emptied into my "go" bag and had the lifejackets on the bed ready to go if the signal was given. We are approachng the breakwater now and are scheduled in the locks at 7AM according to the daily planner. Pedro Miguel locks at 1:20 and Miraflores Locks at 2:30. These times would be Central as we turned the clocks back an hour last night from Eastern. Due to pass Bridge of the Americas at 3:50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All too often we have been on ships when the fire alarms have gone off and their fires in the silos. Glad it was only a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LAFFNVEGAS Posted April 27, 2012 Author #23 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Actually I am surprised they are running a bit late, usually when I get the times and the first lock I almost miss or when I do get up they are just passing thru.

Gail, actually it is quite fun watching the ships go thru the locks, they have such great web cams. It always brings back good memories of when we did it on the Statendam:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
