Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I hope you enjoy your visit to China. It will be a very busy time I would imagine. Just wondering if there are any COVID cases on board at the moment.
  2. Diane thank you for your blog, I have enjoyed every minute of it. You obviously take part in all the opportunities offered on the cruise and really enjoy yourself. I cannot understand folk who pay a fortune to travel to all the exotic places offered and then look for American food. They might as well save their money and stay home. Get well soon and I look forward to following your travels next year.
  3. How far can you walk? It is level ground but depending on where the ship berths it could be a couple of kms. Maybe a taxi to the station?
  4. I totally agree with you. We have done 2 cruises on the Noordam and both were disasters. It broke down in New Zealand and we missed 3 ports.
  5. If you can't sleep without it, the need to have a prescription for spare parts seems to just make life difficult. It is not all that easy to travel by air carrying a CPAP machine and if you have to carry a bag of spare parts as well, well that's just ridiculous. Fortunately, downunder we don't need a script for replacement parts, just the need to dash around to pick something up.
  6. Thank you for your reports. It is very kind of you to take us along with you. I have enjoyed the ride.
  7. Geez! So all of this huge thread has been about 1 cocktail a day.
  8. I purchased a new fitting for my machine that fits in where the tank goes. It makes the machine smaller and doesn't have a place for water. It works really well. We caravan a lot without power, only solar, so plug it into the 12 volt socket. (We bought a new lead with cigarette plug). Hardly uses any power because it doesn't heat.
  9. Have you tried using your CPAP without water when on holiday? Makes a big difference not having to worry about sourcing distilled water. I've not notice any difference when sleeping.
  10. It is usually cheaper to pay on the first day of the cruise. They often have a special offer - go to the Spa soon after you arrive. On back to back I usually renew on the last day of the first cruise.
  11. Have you heard about the terrible flooding in Auckland? I believe you are scheduled to be there soon. There may be a change of ports coming up as more heavy rain is forecast.
  12. We have always caught URTI on the Noordam. I don't think the aircon/ventilation system is really great. I certainly would not travel on the Noordam whilst the Covid cases are still so high.
