BillB48 Posted March 29 #176 Share Posted March 29 The research department was up pulling an all nighter,😉! The official beam of the Explora is 107.5' and the limit for the original locks is 105.9. As a result the Canal classed her as a NeoPanamax. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belgian cruiser1 Posted March 31 #178 Share Posted March 31 My DW and I were on Explora 1 when she passed through, and yes we were disappointed to go into the new locks. Nobody on the ship had told us anything, so what I've read about the ship's beam being 2 feet over the limit ... is the first bit of explanation we've got. And yes, the heat was oppressive. Every time I went out on the balcony I felt like I was turning into crispy bacon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted March 31 Author #179 Share Posted March 31 Thank you for coming here and relating your experience. I have gone to the Explora roll calls and warned them about using the new locks. Easter Sunday and we have Oosterdam eastbound 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering the same, and thought maybe it was because the prop blades and anchor aren’t railed-off that might present a safety issue with passengers.

Rare Essiesmom Posted April 17 Author #192 Share Posted April 17 The Gatun cam has been adjusted, or changed. It appears to be indoors which dims the colors. And a little different angle. Today, We’d. 4/17 we had Eurodam going westbound. This morning the had reversed the lane directions, although by afternoon they were back to ‘normal’. I wonder if someone with influence made a special request… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
