    You are plenty worthy Lola. As to explaining it – me? I don't even see the same numbers you all do. [When a post is hidden it reduces the count for the public, but Hosts still see the hidden post so our numbers are always higher. When I want to refer to a post by number I have to log out and check the public number...]

    When we did Alaska on Coral Princess we were unable to see Hubbard Glacier because of floating ice. An ice-rated hull would have allowed this. When we did the Chilean Fjords in Feb 2023 the bay leading to Pia Glacier was completely chocked with floating ice [see pics below] – the crew said that the previous week it had been clear and like glass...

    The drivers aren't blind, but the bureaucrats are! 😕

    Sadly this is the future: new ships will all be forced to have GPS thruster positioning to save the planet. [I say: Save the old ships!]

    KEF is pretty far from the center of Reykjavik, so it didn't surprise us that a private transfer cost $150 but the door to door service was worth it. We used https://www.rvkcars.com/airport-transfer

    Meteora is absolutely worth two days in this 'Athens' post-cruise stay – stop at Delphi on the way there, get to Meteora for sunset on the first day, stay overnight and see 2-3 monasteries on the second day, then be driven back to Athens or the airport.

    New article on CruiseIndustryNews: Silver Ray Completes Conveyance [on River Ems] Not your usual 'river cruise' but an interesting picture!

    Jeff your bread always looks delicious. As to pizza – you should have imported the oven from NY. Neapolitan pizza doesn't really cut it once you've had NY thin crust pizza... 😀

    Many of us here on the Boards part of Cruise Critic don't read the Reviews part – because there are so many one-post-wonders there. Could you copy your review (or retype it) and post it here? Thanks!

    Haven't done this with Azamara, but we did Chobe and Vic Falls with AmaWaterways in 2018. Victoria Falls is amazing and worth the trip alone. Chobe was only ok – if you want to see the Big 5, the Kruger extension would be a good choice. My blog of the 2018 river safari trip is here: jazzbeauxafricansafari2018.wordpress.com [note: that lion is purring happily 😀]

    Sadly it was acquired and refurbished at the worst time for Covid supply-chain issues. We were led to believe the poor items would be replaced, but evidently that plan has been cancelled. I am avoiding Onward in my planning.

    Thanks Margo for your report about your cruise on Onward. Others may want to start their own thread to report their experiences.
