Several oddities: seem odd to her in the Canal as she went almost her entire previous careers and never ventured through the canal. Odd to to see so very passengers on the outer decks when making a trasit; usually folks are 2 or 3 deep at the rails. Wish I had sailed her as Oceanic in the Home Lines days.

W/the transit taking many hours and the hot/humid weather, many passengers probably probably prefer the view from air conditioned comfort.

Thank you for the kind comments! Grant, although this is her 2nd (?) time as the Peaceboat going through the canal it would be interesting to see if any of our historians can ever place her transiting prior to her current role.

I believe 2009 was the first time for OCEANIC to enter the Pacific.

Even done up like that, she's still one of my favorite cruisers. Always was. Just beautiful.
