Very interesting yet long experience. The guide's explanations were very detailed, helpful and interesting, his spanish and english were both very easy to understand. Seat capacity was a bit low for this many passengers ...and still using styrofoam plates for lunch is not really sustainable. Main dish and rice were full of cilantro which l hate so there was only some salad and plantains for me to eat. But this is not so important as l was there for the impressive experience and not for the food....

Es excelente la experiencia de pasar por el canal de Panamá. Los empleados muy amables excepto la persona que nos recogió en el hotel que no habló ni una palabra en todo el camino de ida y vuelta al hotel.Demasiadas personas en el barco por lo que era difícil conseguir asiento y un buen lugar en el mismo.La experiencia en general es altamente recomendable.Muy buena.

The number of places in the shade in order to properly follow the passage through the locks is insufficient. A lady felt unwell due to the heat. Very good meal and very interesting description for the rest
