fun trip; awesome video.
I was so proud to be on this historic voyage. The fact that we were the first passenger ship though the new canal was only annoounced to us the day before. Unfortunately there was no “first passenger ship though the new canal” swag offered in the shops — just generic “Panama Canal 2017” items. However, every cabin got a special certificate and limited-edition print placed in their cabing after the passage. Too Cool!
