You must have been on a cruise with my mother-in-law....

I'm a canoe enthusiast and I have a sticker on my van, "Paddle faster, I hear banjo music..."

I'm doing an Alaska to Hawai'i repositioning cruise in October, I can't wait to see the juxtaposition of items in the gift shop....

My father in law had dementia so I had to move in with him. All was well until he thought I was his deceased wife...and being from Quebec he would constantly speak to me in French, which I don't know... Anyway, bless you for taking such good care of your Dad and wanting to enrich his life!

Being a solo on this trip I was elated that NCL gave me 50% off my airfare. And their rate even before the discount was far lower than the cheapest flight I could find. I might be seated on the wing or in a bathroom, but I saved close to $1000...

This is an udderly silly topic...

This is very helpful. I agree that Cagney's doesn't sound vegetarian friendly but I have had some great meals there made up entirely of side dishes while my traveling companion ate cow.

I'm enjoying your pictures. I was there last year and they are taking me back...keep them coming!

That does it, I'm moving to Bird's house...

What he said...I've always felt like I need a vacation from my vacation!

Wow, I hadn't thought about the slow roll "jet lag" you would get on a transatlantic crossing...at least on this cruise it shouldn't be a problem, other than the real jet lag flying from West Virginia to Vancouver the day before.

To add to omahabob's post, the helicopter tour I did met at the shopping center a short walk from the ship and shuttled us to the airport. It wasn't cheap, but worth every penny, especially now since NCL has dropped the Na Pali sailby portion on the trip. We booked the tour after finding out we were to miss it due to "maintenance issues" and really wanted to see the cliffs and the helicopter is a great way to do so!

I did this on the last cruise. Wasn't cheap, but worth every penny! My roommate didn't, but loved the benefit of having the shower to herself since I used the roomy luxurious rainshower in the spa.

Haha! I wondered the same thing. I chose it because I couldn't decide whether to go to Alaska or Hawaii, and since this cruise goes both places I didn't have to pick. I also wanted to give sea days another chance and I DO need to learn how to chill...I figure this will cure me or kill me!
