We found it interesting that the area around the locks and lake didn’t seem dry yet it’s a drought. The levels were not visibly low. I’m looking forward to doing it again someday. Sept 2023- "Insufficient rainfall continues to negatively impact the Gatun Lake, which feeds the canal, lowering its water level to 24.2 meters (79.7 feet), versus 26.6 meters (87.41 feet) for the month of September in recent years" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare orville99 Posted November 14, 2023 Author #205 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Back to discovering today. They are delivering new pillows to all of the cabins this week. Got ours on Sunday. Way too firm for this old neck.

lovesthebeach2 Posted November 14, 2023 #206 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Thanks for all the pictures!! The views from the height of the ship are way better than we got from that teeny tiny ferry boat we were on in February! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare orville99 Posted November 14, 2023 Author #207 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Something new, just in time for the WC: We got access to a streaming service from RCL this morning (although there were no instructions on how to use it and the Internet desk didn’t have any instructions either. royal-flix.com A free on board movie streaming service (about 50 movies).as long as you have an internet package Only works on mobile devices and can’t cast to the stateroom TV however. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After going through the last lock when you are dumped into the Atlantic Ocean. The place to be is on the extreme aft facing the wake which ever deck you can get on which ever ship you are on. The level of the water behind you is higher then the ship, it's a amazing sight we will never forget. @orville99 You will want to be back there for sure on your return trip back through the last lock in a couple weeks.

StanleyandGus Posted November 14, 2023 #214 Share Posted November 14, 2023 @orville99 You must be somewhere around us! Your pictures are almost identical to mine, except slightly better! I have a mobile device, and I haven’t figured out how to stream the movies either. And I must say the food has been very good, and served at the correct temperature, if anyone was wondering. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you connect to the ship’s WiFi, go into your browser and enter royal-flix.com info the search bar. It should bring up the website. We wandered all over the ship yesterday taking pictures, but our cabin is towards the front of the ship so we took a lot from our balcony as well.

Rare orville99 Posted November 14, 2023 Author #220 Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) Sea day today and did absolutely nothing😇 but relax. One nice thing about this route is that we are hugging the coastline so we have been within eyesight of Panama and now Costa Rica all day.

cruisin from florida Posted November 15, 2023 #224 Share Posted November 15, 2023 On 11/10/2023 at 4:02 PM, ONECRUISER said: Was on B4B in Sept onboard was 25 Contractors doing work. They'd get off and back on with us for Zero count on turn around days. This area along with Conference Room was packed full inc new Coolers and the new thicker Mattresses that they were replacing each wk. Were also doing new wiring along all Passenger decks. Nice see area emptied out We're on her for a short cruise in Decatur. Definitely hoping that the mattresses will be improved a bit for the WC, and that we'll reap the benefits.
