We're booked on Galaxy's Jan. 9 cruise to Panama Canal.  Question:  does the ship pass through the Gatun Locks?  The itinerary reads:  Panama Canal (cruising) 7:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m., then Cristobal Pier at 3:00 pm - 7:00 pm.  I'm wondering if it's better to remain on the ship than to take an excursion.
