Panama Canal Cruise: What I Wish I Knew Before Going

**Are you sure your Panama Canal cruise actually goes through the canal?**

Full transits, partial transits, and Panama port calls can offer very different experiences. We explain how to tell them apart, what to know about the Panama Canal locks, and why a partial transit may be the better fit for some travelers.

You’ll also learn the excursion rule that can catch cruisers by surprise, whether a balcony is worth it, and how to plan stops in Colón, Cartagena, and Puerto Limón.
