I just wanted to add .... for those who have done the Canal and are looking for a little something to do....we just got back from Colon last month on the Carnival Freedom.
We docked at Colon2000Terminal and there are some shops there now. About 6 that sold the usually "stuff"...one BIG grocery store with good liquor prices and about 3 restaurants/bars.
All of this was inside the white fence and we felt very safe...even though it was NOT a restricted area from the locals.
We left our Rolexs and good jewelry in the safe on the ship and made ourselves at home.
As long as you stay inside the WHITE fence...you should be fine.
There is even a casino and hotel there if anyone has not gambled enough on the ship.
You walk off the ship...into a building...up an escalator ...across a skywalk and back down an escalator. All the shops are in an H shaped mall inside the white fence.
Again, we felt very safe and I even walked around by myself.
I did however, stop two elderly ladies from our ship who wanted "more shopping" and were about to head outside the fence on their own...with their jewelry on.
I strongly advised them against that and they listened.
