Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. On the Voyage of the Vikings Cruise last summer (2023) my wife won a big jackpot on the sea day before we arrived in Rotterdam. After having lunch she decided to go to the casino, but I decided to save my money for the evening and returned to our cabin. A little while later she texted me to get her ID and bring it to the casino. I figured that meant she had won a jackpot and when I found her it looked like she had won $816 and I wondered why she needed her ID for that, but on closer examination I saw she had won $8160, I was shocked to say the least! The amazing thing was that after she had gotten paid, she decided to play a little more won an additional $1120 on another machine. It was by far the most we had ever won in a ship's casino.
  2. On my laptop and desktop computer, I often have trouble with HAL website. I use Firefox as my browser and it seems to have frequent problems ,so I also try Chrome and Edge and have pretty good success doing that. One thing that always seems to cure my problem is clearing my cache. Of course, none of this will help if the problem is on HAL's end which it sometimes is.
  3. My wife and I generally do longer cruises and we have used Luggage Forward five times and will use them again in July. We use them for both shipping to and from the ship and have never had a problem although I am always nervous until they show up in our room. It is pricey, but much easier than lugging multiple bags through airports and then to the port.
  4. I agree with what you said, but I would suggest for someone with no previous experience shooting raw to set the camera to save raw+jpeg. This gives you the ability to take a quick look at your photos without having to load the raw files into a raw viewer or processor. I have been shooting raw since 2008 and I still shoot raw+jpeg. Once you start shooting raw, you'll never go back. Using a photo editor like Lightroom, it is just as easy to edit the raw files as jpegs and you have so much more flexibility as nothing is baked in like it is in jpegs. The first time you have a high contrast photo and are able to bring up all the shadow detail, you'll be hooked. Dave
