? re: 10 day cruising locks on regal

[DONNALAKA]

i am trying to find out what time the regal princess full transit in feb goes thru the locks........... almost seems like it might happen during the night ..... would this be possible ? called princess w/o an answer. does anyone who did the 10 day acapulco to san juan have this info ? much appreciated ºÜº

Do not know the time but it will be an all day affair. No nighttime on full transits.

Which specific locks are you interested in? As LARGIN says, it's an all-day affair.

 

My experience, albeit years ago, on the Sun Princess is that we approached the Canal at about 5:30AM, while it was still dark. We went through the series of locks, Gatun Lake, etc., finally entering the Pacific at about 3PM. I would guess it's somewhat similar going in the opposite direction. Regardless, you'll be going through at least most of the locks during full daylight.
