    . Since the Carnival Clothes-Freedom is a few tons over weight, we will not enter the canal on her but tours to it and into the first lock will be available as well as tours to the San Blas Islands (copy from BN)Per bulleton Board- a top-free beach at Colon; and a clothes free excursion at Limon.

    The only non-automated piece is adding your VIFP number (Carnival's frequent guest program) to your booking. We had to call Carnival and have them manually add ours. So far, the only CO excursions showing up are in Cozumel: a Passion Island beach day and a Twister Boat excursion that also drops you off on Passion Island.

    There are lots of non-CO excursions available now, though.
