No. Reservations are not taken in the Club Orange dining room.

Dallas to Sydney. United through SFO or Delta through LAX?
oakridger replied to PR-Texas's topic in Cruise Air
Yep, the missing U threw me for a loop until I found out how the name came about! From Mr. Google: "Its initial name was Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services Limited..." I loved flying on them for my first time back from Sydney to LAX! Have a wonderful trip! ~Nancy -
That's quite the diverse cruise line up! I would think that you will find your "style/fit" somewhere in that group along with other previous lines you have tried! I would love to hear your impressions after all these experiences! Thank you and have wonderful cruises over the next 18 months! ~Nancy

Holland America Volendam solo from San Diego to Ft Lauderdale
oakridger replied to kelliebiz's topic in Solo Cruisers
@kelliebiz Thanks for coming back and wrapping up with your impressions and more nice pictures! Was that last picture taken during the eclipse??? 😉 I travel solo most of the time and love it, however when the rare event happens and a friend or my daughter can come with me, I love that too! Separate cabins are a must these days though! I'm off on a solo adventure from Ft. Lauderdale on the Zuiderdam on May 11th, then a week in the Netherlands and another month in Norway. I'm going on the Havila coastal ferry from Bergen up the entire west coast of Norway and back. So excited and will come back to the HAL and the "Other Cruise Lines" forum to report on that. ~Nancy -
It is if you can wrangle your luggage and don't have bad knees!! Easy for some, not easy for others! 😉

I actually think a cab is what I would choose in your circumstances because you need to go outside Canada Place to the street to meet an Uber. ~Nancy

Be aware that cabin J1060 is below the Rolling Stone Lounge (formerly known as BB King's Lounge). ~Nancy

Personally, I'm really concerned about the rowdy "Knitting Group" on my December cruise! 😉 -
Tips in Canada & Ports in Alaska
oakridger replied to 6burghcruiser's topic in West Coast Departures
I have tipped in USD in Canada but first asked the porter/bartender if they minded USD. The porter laughed and said he actually preferred USD. I'm glad I asked though, because it must be a hassle to exchange money at their bank. I normally prefer to use the currency of the country I am in when traveling. ~Nancy -
I get a cab. The queue is right in the building under Canada Place after exiting immigration. Lots of Vancouver info and other transport options to the airport listed in the link below. Have a great trip! West Coast Departures - Cruise Critic Community

Has anyone ever actually had this "special onboard event" when they purchased Club Orange? I haven't heard of any. ~Nancy

That's a lot of sand! I would guess that anyone outdoors would soon also have sand in their hair and eyes!! 🫣 I just was reading an article online about a cruise ship that ran into the pier in Kusadasi last week and came across the picture of the Celestyal Journey with its bow bulb crunched. Notice its neighbor??!!

"The Wide Wide Sea" is available on Amazon right now in all formats. It's going in my Kindle! ~Nancy

Definitely go to Geirangerfjord if your cruise ship doesn't go there! It's much more impressive than the Bergen Mostraumen boat cruise if you have the choice. I am, however, going on the Mostraumen boat with someone who doesn't have any other opportunities to see any of the other larger fjords. Have a great time!! ~Nancy

Thanks. I'll have a look at this book. I like to read about places I'm visiting! ~Nancy

I was under the impression that when crew scanned your card at the bar/shop that your picture shows on their computer screen. Is that not true? If so, if someone had your card and tried to use it either by mistake or on purpose, the crew wouldn't let them. `Nancy
