NCL Panama Canal Experience

[Ellaleah]

I will be going on my once in a lifetime Panama Canal cruise on NCL Bliss in December.  I am considering the Panama Canal Experience. The tour leaves at 6am for 7 hours.  I am thinking that this is the best way to experience the transit.  Has anyone done this excursion and did you think it worthwhile?  Thank you.

You will already have transited the canal, but using the new locks.  It appears several of the tours take you to the visitors center at Miraflores Locks, but this one actually takes you through the original locks.  If that is what you want, go for it.  EM

Did the OP do the tour? Anything to share? Will be on NCL Bliss offering the same excursion. Thanks.

I'm taking the tour on 1/22.

I've seen some positive comments on the NCL board.

Will know for sure in a few weeks, LOL.

I was on the NCL Joy in January 2023 and did the Panama Canal Experience.  I was very glad I did, as I got to experience going through the old locks in the small tourist boat.  The next day, the Joy transited the canal using the new locks.  So it was very interesting to get to experience both sets of locks (on the Pacific side, anyway).
