There are a number of great excursions for folks visiting Panama for a few hours by cruise ship, some of the more popular are:

I know it’s not cheap but the Train Trip to Panama City, if offered is one of the best ways to see the most of the country. You will take the train one way and bus the other, be shown around Panama City and see some of the best of the country on the train trip.

A trip to either Fort San Lorenzo and the Gatun Locks which would also show you how the locks operate which is quite fascinating or a trip to Portobelo which is another are where there are ruins of Spanish forts, a historic church and other sights.

For something a bit more adventurous they may offer a trip to an Embera Village - these villages are in the middle of a national park and they live a very traditional way of life - you will really see the jungle and the culture of an indigenous people.
