Panama Canal Excusrions

[amias]

We are booked on the Zuiderdam in early December for a partial Panama Canal transit. Looking at excursions there are two which interest us and wondered if Cruise Critic members who have previously taken these excursions might weigh in with opinions. We stayed on board on Gatun lake last time so would like to branch out a little on this coming trip.

 

One: Monkey Watch and Canal Nature Cruise (high speed boat trip - not sure about that part of it!)

Two: Rainforest, Gatun and Locks Cruise

 

Is there somewhere on Cruise Critic that may already have the information we are seeking and I'm just missing it?

Thanks for any observations you can offer.

Have you looked at the Panama Canal port forum?

Thanks for the link - we'll take a look. Further research shows that the Rainforest, Gatun and Locks Cruise appears to be quite new and does not have any reviews at this time so wondered if anyone had done it recently but not left a review.

 

Appreciate you taking the time to respond.
