Dinner menu on Lido and a few of the items they had on display before the buffet opened.

 

 

 

 

 

[jam19872016]

I'm going to bed a little early tonight.

 

I have set my alarm for 5am so that I can be up for our entry into the Panama Canal. 

 

I don't remember the last time I set an alarm for that early 😴.

[jam19872016]

Good morning. Looks like we are still making our approach. Pilot is supposed to board at 530. 

 

Getting ready now and then heading out on deck.

 

What I wouldn't give for the coffee shop to be open now.

[jam19872016]

At the front of the ship on deck 9 in line with about a half dozen other ships.

 

There is a very nice breeze this morning keeping it cool.

 

A lot of my fellow passengers are out and about already.

 

Sunrise is 609 I'll probably park myself here till then and then pause for a coffee break.

[jam19872016]

We're moving now. 

 

Don't think i got a good shot of Sunrise from my vantage point.

 

Coffee run will have to wait until we pass the bridge of americas.

[jam19872016]

Coffee acquired.

 

Approaching Miraflores locks now.

[jam19872016]

We have now departed the Miraflores locks. We will enter the Pedro Miguel locks at 905. Going to take a breakfast break before the dining room closes.

 

I was trying to upload the photos as I went but every time an upload fails I have to reload the queue. I will do them tomorrow instead since I can bulk upload on the app after 24 hours. No idea why I don't have that option immediately.

Sunrise?  Doesn’t look like much sun to me.  Not the greatest weather for a transit.  Leaving Miraflores Locks

 

 

[Essiesmom]

And just a suggestion:  for a different view in the locks, try going forward on deck 3 to The Jungle, looking through those windows.  EM

It is very cloudy but for a brief moment there was a very nice Sunrise. Just too many people around to get a great view.

 

I think the clouds are helping keep the temperature down.

 

Love the pictures from that perspective thanks for posting them.

 

Once it gets too warm I will check out the locks from the jungle and from my room on 1

 Thanks for the tip 👍😀

Exiting Pedro Miguel locks now. Centennial bridge is just ahead.

Pedro Miguel Locks from the Cerro Luisa cam

 

 

[jam19872016]

Taking a break from the heat until we reach Gamboa passage around 1055. Taking in the views from my room.

 

Breakfast today was the granola and an omelet.

 

 

[jam19872016]

We should be entering the Gatun locks any minute now. Currently at lunch In the MDR.

[jam19872016]

We are now in the gatun locks. In my room for a couple pictures but it's not a great vantage point probably going back up top soon.

[jam19872016]

Lunch menu.

 

 

 

For my starter I got the calamari rings.

 

 

For my main the salmon pillard.

 

 

And for dessert I had the grand Marnier cheesecake and pina colada cake.

 

 

 

Everything was good and it's gonna need to be a small dinner tonight 😋

And the spirit is officially back in the Atlantic for its Caribbean season. 

 

Oops fake news. Ran into the onboard expert and used him to fact check. This is still considered mixed waters.

Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. I've been following along and enjoying it. I'll be on the Spirit Saturday. I love all the food pictures and reviews of the food. Enjoy the rest of your trip. 

[jam19872016]

Finished out the crossing on the upper decks. Today was a great experience and I have way too many pictures to share hopefully tomorrow. I started making some progress and then the upload speeds tanked so will try to have those ready ASAP.

 

I've been up for almost 12 hours so I'm going to try my best to get a nap in 💤😴. 

[jam19872016]

Got a little sleeping accomplished. Getting up now to see what's going on that I can get into.

Thanks for following along. I'll be starting my final leg when you join the ship. We've almost got her home now.
