  1. Thanks for the suggestion. I checked and have it available, 8 episodes.
  2. No, Pluto is a Disney character. 😉
  3. 1. What are you planning to do with your luggage? 2. Does the timing really work? You have to be at the airport several hours early for an international flight?
  4. Could be, I don't know for sure. And also those are different countries, they could have different rules.
  5. I have a feeling that that is what we will end up doing with our 5 PM flight time. Not the greatest option, but at least a somewhat more acceptable one since we have previously been in Reykjavik on a land trip as well as having the day before as an overnight on the cruise.
  6. I don't remember experiencing our passports being held when we sailed on a British Ilse cruise that included Dublin. I do remember them being held on an Eastern Mediterranean cruise. We were allowed to take them back for one country, IIRC Croatia, but then had to return them to the ship again.
  7. Not only Europe, Middle East, and Africa, we did an escorted land trip in Peru, and each hotel held onto our passports.
  8. One can never totally predict weather. We had rough seas one day going to Bermuda in August, not a hurricane, just a rainy day. We once had the remnants of a hurricane on a day in London and then seas a little rough the next day sailing out of Dover. I mean who expects a hurricane in England even during hurricane season? We once did have a real hurricane and could not get back to Fort Lauderdale for 2 extra days. Now that was rough seas as the Captain tried to get us a little closer so passengers would have cell phone reception to call their airlines or travel agents.
  9. We also have a 5 PM flight, and are wondering the same thing.
  10. Under your name is there a locator number? If so, did you try that>
  11. I don't think so, but that would be academic in my case as NY State does not allow CFAR insurance to be sold as the State Insurance Commissioner has ruled that that is not really an insurance product.
  12. I do not think there is any insurance that covers not having the proper documentation. Note, you should still always have travel insurance.
  13. My DW would surely love the combination of mushy peas and a crafts fair. She used to make stuffed animals and sold them at crafts fairl. Her cows would sell out immediately, but the rest not so well. But, making only cows bored her.
  14. Yes, ugh. DW once made mac and cheese with a non-dairy cheese (cholesterol shall not pass her lips). And ugh is correct.
  15. All aboard is going to be earlier than the 8 o' clock ship departure. It does not sound to me like you have any margin of error.
  16. I believe all the Scandanavian countries plus Iceland are very expensive.
  17. And it is now being reported that the Coast Guard has given up the search Search suspended for man who fell from Carnival cruise ship (msn.com)
  18. Thanks. NCL lists Geiranger as the only tender port, and when I called they confirmed that. But as I wrote previously, everything I have read has it as a tender except for small ships and our tour operator says to meet her (or her guide) by "where the tenders come in".
  19. Yes, beautiful pictures. If I had not just checked and saw my now retired art teacher DW on the couch, I would have wondered if she had snuck off to Norway without me and took those pictures. 😁🤣
  20. We are doing this trip in August. Could you after your cruise answer the following question. Is Isafjordur a tender port for the Prima. NCL says it is not, but everything I have read says it is except for small ships. Also, we have booked a private tour in that port, and the tour operator says to meet her where the tenders come in. Thanks in advance. And have a great cruise.
  21. Which 11 day cruise? Ours is London (Southampton) to Reykjavik 8/6.
  22. They actually were wiping down every book at our public library during the height of the Covid pandemic. Thankfully, those days seem to be behind us. Although they still have disabled the middle computers giving those using the other computers a distance between the next person. I don't know why that is still necessary.
  23. Big cheer for libraries. Long story, but basically if it was not for the local public library, DW and I would have never got together. (And later this year, we will celebrate our 46th wedding anniversary on a sea day between Norway and Iceland.)
  24. Well I for one hope to never have to hear an emergency announcement!
