Panama Canal Cruise - Day 1, January 17, 2020

We left the hotel in their shuffle about 9:30 am, for the 5-minute ride to the cruise terminal.  We checked in our luggage as we left the van then proceeded to a waiting area for checking in.  

We waited in line until about 11:00 am then proceeded to the terminal adjacent to the ship for document verification and processing.  This took about an hour waiting our turn. They verified our passports and e-documents for the cruise, took our pictures and issued our boarding pass that is used to exit/enter the ship and charge any on-board purchases.

After about another half-hour wait, we boarded the ship.  The rooms were not yet ready, so we waited in the ship cafeteria and had lunch.  We finally got into our rooms around 2:00 pm.  The ship sailed at 5:00 pm and our luggage was delivered shortly afterwards.  We had dinner in the cafeteria and went to bed early.
