SandyAtSea Posted October 9, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Just curious if you get any kind of a certificate for transiting the canal when you do it by excursion, e.g., you are on a partial transit cruise and take the small ferry boat from Gatun Lake all the way to the Pacific. It seems like probably not, as part of the way is by bus. Is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted October 9, 2014 #2 Share Posted October 9, 2014 That would be up to your cruise line, particularly for a full transit. Having done both partials and fulls, on different cruise lines, never have received any certificate. Lots of memories, tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted October 10, 2014 #3 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Likely not but as CruiserBruce correctly notes it would depend how your Cruise Line handles this. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard in Panama Posted October 10, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Not to worry ... all taken care of. The cruise line sends the passenger list to the Canal and immigration authorities long before you get there. Just relax and enjoy!!

OCruisers Posted October 10, 2014 #6 Share Posted October 10, 2014 We did NOT receive a certificate on our last two full transits like we did on our earlier ones. LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnoliaBlossom Posted October 12, 2014 #7 Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) We are just of the Jewel and we did receive a certificate from NCL with our names, date, ship etc. Custom rubber stamped by the captain :p Edited October 12, 2014 by MagnoliaBlossom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcoy Posted October 13, 2014 #8 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I received a certificate for my full transit on Cunard's Queen Victoria this April. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle_and_hawk Posted October 16, 2014 #9 Share Posted October 16, 2014 We received certificates from the small boat operator that took us on through the canal to the Pacific ocean. We were on a partial transit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crizzlyhug Posted October 16, 2014 #10 Share Posted October 16, 2014 We also got a certificate with Celebrity Cruises. It had the name, date, ship name, sign of captain and cabin no on it. Every person got a own certificate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyAtSea Posted October 17, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted October 17, 2014 We received certificates from the small boat operator that took us on through the canal to the Pacific ocean. We were on a partial transit. That was what I was asking about - the small boat tour on a partial transit. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geffric Posted February 5, 2019 #12 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Anyone recently received a certificate? I did in 2008 but going again on NCL and wondering if they still do this.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a pax (6 cruises), DW thinks we received 1 certificate delivered to the cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BTW, we did get one in early 2017 on the NCL Jewel.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
