First time in '62 & over a time, 4 times that direction and 4 times back with the last return in January '71 (I said '70 earlier, but we observed New Years at sea in the Pacific). I even took the "opportunity" to swim in Gatun Lake while we waited our turn at the locks (YUCK! nasty water).
I wish I could do the Canal transit once a year. There is still something about going to the "special" places. Just thinking about some of them will still give me goosebumps. A few of my favorites (by ship):
The Pacific approach to Panama
Wellington, N.Z.
McMurdo Sound
Deception Island
The Straits of Gibraltar
The Inland Passage (West coast of Chile to Punta Arenas)
Pago Pago American Samoa
Suva Fiji

God! I miss going to sea

Sail to me , but beware of the reefs ( Cap Est , Le François , Martinique )
