Markj Posted July 30, 2018 #476 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Just a screen-shot from the MarineTraffic app with the past track displayed. Do you know why they take "the long way round" ? Is it cheaper to be at sea than be tied up in port I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know... and was wondering the same. I believe we’ll be crossing under the bridge in a couple hours, which we missed on the way out.

TheDougOut Posted July 30, 2018 Author #482 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Stopping by the room, and we pass all the kids heading up to the hot tubs. The adults are heading to the upper sundeck in a minute to pass under the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moulshree Posted July 30, 2018 #485 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Hi. Booked the same iteniary for next year. Was wondering if we sail past Stockholm archipelago. The iteniary as of now shows us docking in Stockholm but as I can see that rarely happens. The next day at sea mentions sailing past the little islands. Hope it remains the same even if we dock in nynashamn. Thanks in advance. Also loved your review...:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also loved your review...:) I believe they switched to Nynäshamn for the entire season, apparently from all the headaches and missed stops last year with the Getaway. I wouldn’t hold out hope for the ship getting into Stockholm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romalley99 Posted July 31, 2018 #489 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Do you know why they take "the long way round" ? Is it cheaper to be at sea than be tied up in port I wonder? Ships are unable to pass under/over the bridge/tunnel system that is jetting across the waterway (Øresund). Instead, they go around and pass under the Great Belt Bridge, Which is the Bridge Doug was mentioning. It’s cool!! Have to go a certain speed under Great Belt to make it under, have watched documentaries on it! [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDougOut Posted July 31, 2018 Author #494 Share Posted July 31, 2018 A 10:50 AM flight? Set alarm for 6AM, had coffee in atrium, breakfast in Garden Cafe, finished packing and showered, off the ship at 7:28 AM, taxi van to airport, bag check, security, a return to security after someone in our group left a passport behind, through passport control and now sitting at the gate at 9:31 AM. Easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
