Definition of "Cruising Only"

[Mary Jane 711]

Regal Princess Dec 9 Panama Canal Transit. Our papers say "cruising only" thru Panama Canal..Excuse my ignorance, but does this actually mean no excursions..you stay on board?
I was hoping to do the Aerial Tram thru the Rainforest trip. EIther way I am ok with, I would just like a clarification from someone who may know..Thanks

I believe that means you did not purchase air fare through the cruise line. If this is the case, then you have nothing to worry about. I've never heard of them not letting you off for excursions (unless they have to put you in the clink)

"Cruising only" means the ship doesn't dock or anchor that day.

Ah, glad you clarified that, John. I'm new to Princess. Others I'm familiar with call that "At Sea".
Sorry for adding to the confusion!
