No doubt about it you Yanks sure have all the answers.

Appropriate on formal nights is shorts and long walking socks with brown sandals, polo shirt and black tie with a polka dot jacket!

I am so puzzled, I thoought on HAL it was OK to where jeans and shorts on formal night?

I reckon its a gorilla Yankie ;)

Thats not what you really look like is it :confused: :D :D

Anybody here bring a blender with them as essential item not to forget???;) :eek:

I reckon when you got to feed a flamin baboon you sure gonna need one as well :p

Hi Dave,

 

The Captain's name was Ed Perrin (British man), extremely nice and genuine. We shook his hand at the Coctail party. He seems to be pretty young. I'd put him in his forties or early fifties... The cruise director's name was James Ibriham..from Austraila...Also, very nice, if not a little hokey...He was just silly every morning on the television with his assistant Julie. I didn't see too much of him around the ship, but once in a while, he's show up at an event that we were at...Young man too!

 

 

 

Patti :)

Please tell me what does "hokey" mean?

We have also sailed with James, we think he is a fine young man with a very good sense of humour, even if its an Australian one :D

You can keep your airline and your beer, but down here in Auckland we have kingfisher birds and they are truly beautiful :D

Thanks for your reports! I, also, will never make it to a World Cruise in person so this is great! Just a quick question: any idea what the nightly entertainment in the show lounge has been like?

Oh yes you will sweetie pie, believe it or not saints do get looked after in this world, as any phsyic ? :-)

Grumpy,

 

That is the funniest cruise story I have ever read! I haven't stopped laughing since I read it. I do hope you are feeling 100% by now.

 

Bill and Mary Ann,

 

I too am enjoying your postings and am looking forward to reading each and everyone of them.

Yep dwarfs can tell the dandiest stories, leg pulling and all, I am sitting here with tears cascading down my face. Thanks grumpy, I really enjoy your "dumb sense of humour" :D

1. Does anybody know, if we make an order at one of the wine shops will they deliver for us to the ship.

2. Will HAL accept wine on our behalf and deliver to our cabin?

I pretty sure that the goverment liquor store in downtown Vancouver will carry this, however here's a link to their site where you can search on the product:

thanks so much for that link, really helpful.

We are arriving from down-under next Tuesday evening in Vancouver, very excited 1st time to Canada. We have 2 1/2 days before we join our ship. Since the upheaval with air travel occurred last month (we had planned to bring wine with us from home) now we can't carry liquids in the cabin and its much too much of a hassle to pack in luggage because of weight restrictions, Here is my question, can we buy NZ Sauv.blanc in downtown area at a reasonable cost, or has someone some other suggestions? and where we go to buy.

Also what are the suggestions for making the best use of our time while we are in the city. All suggestions will be much appreciated.
