ATTENTION: Panama Canal Cruisers

While $100 isn't exactly a big deal in the overall cost of a long cruise, neither is it that big of a deal to Disney. They should have just eaten it rather than bump up the price to people who have already agreed on one (even if the fact that this could happen is disclosed).

How much does it cost to go through the Panama Canal? Assuming a full ship, at $100 per person that is $175,000 in new fee. That got me to wondering and while I am not finding a solid source of information the numbers I am finding is that as of a few years ago it cost a cruise ship around $130,000 to cross the canal. Did they really just double their fee unexpectedly (assuming that number is right)?
