Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. True, but, I'm certain the OP meant Sabor, since he specified Harmony.😉
  2. Interesting. I'll look it up. Wondering if it's actually doable in the 4.5 hours on shore that the MSC itinerary is effectively allowing. Not that I'm likely to book another MSC cruise, but, I never say never.
  3. Sailaway was also in daylight. I stayed up on deck the whole way out. I was sad to skip Guernsey on that one.
  4. I get that. I'm just thinking when does one sleep? And the townspeople running tours are up all night, too? Not sure I could do it. Sorry to go so far off topic everyone.
  5. In Aug. '22, several sailings from Amsterdam were altered last minute due to Port traffic restrictions caused by low water levels. I was on the Jewel and we had to skip our last port, and speed back to make an assigned lock time. We overnighted in Amsterdam instead and disembarked next day as scheduled. Everyone received OBC for the altered itinerary. I suppose it's possible that RCL will consider this when looking at future Amsterdam departures. 🤔
  6. Jo'burg is an inland city. South African larger ports are Cape Town and Durban. Other cruise lines often include planned stops in the Seychelles, Mauritius, Madagascar and Reunion Islands on the East side of Africa. On the West, Walvis Bay, Accra, Dakar, the Cape Verde Islands and the Canary Islands are often called. So many port options, but, to fit into the time frame to get to Athens would surely be a challenge. Let's hope it doesn't come to that, and not just for UWC, but, so that all the unrest, shelling, mayhem, loss of life and heartbreak in the region can end peacefully, as soon as possible, and for all involved.
  7. People are traveling to Antartica in record numbers the past 2 years, over 100K each year up from 70K pre pandemic. Much is being written lately about the danger of overtourism in such a fragile environment. It's such a short cruise season and with the increasing demand, there certainly are a lot of ships sailing. I'm surprised to see 8 ships in one day in such a small area though. No wonder people are concerned.
  8. Very cute! You will have to take her on the Hello Kitty bullet train in Japan or on Taiwan's EVA Air Hello Kitty plane. 😺
  9. Same. This was the broken bit that floated past me on the starboard side. 20220914_121231.mp4
  10. I was able to download and view your 2nd file. Here it is. I was on the Voyager Arctic crossing in '22 and remember thinking that to me , and from a longer distance, that you wouldn't know you weren't looking at a city skyline filled with tall buildings. I have some video of whale spray in front of that scene, too. Magic.
  11. I think I've received one or 2 of those surveys. The part that makes me LOL is I'm pretty sure they ask you to agree to non-disclosure of the contents. Obviously, non-binding, yet still, it is absolutely stunning how fast the outrage appears on CC and FB. Makes me chuckle. 😃
  12. Be sure to seek the advice of your doctor. The patches are contraindicated with some pretty common health conditions, as is dramamine, for those with heart problems. In other words, don't take meds based on us armchair docs on a cruise forum using similar! 😉
