RuthC Posted March 26, 2019 #626 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Welcome back to floors that don't move under you. It's been a fantastic journey, and I am pleased you chose to share it with us. I loved reading your posts every day. I wish I could have been on this Grand Voyage, but reading the two reports on CC was the next best thing. Thank you for posting.

knittinggirl Posted March 26, 2019 #627 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Did you have to sign liability waivers for Antarctica? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter asked me the same question. It's a gizmo to hold your yarn so you can wind it into a ball without it getting tangled. There are a few different types but I am getting one known as an "Amish swift". It is lightweight and packs up small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Not sure if that is required on an expedition ship where you can actually land on the continent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelholics Posted March 27, 2019 #633 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Thank you so much for taking the time to write about your wonderful journey so we could all travel along. My husband and I tried all the trivia questions and we are hoping to join in, for the first time, on our TA in the Fall. It is people like you and your friends who make travelling on a HAL cruise so much fun!! Thank you and can't wait for the World cruise report and more trivia questions!

travellersrest Posted March 27, 2019 #634 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Hi Kathi, I really enjoyed your posts/blog. I followed along with your trivia questions and wondered how our last year's WC evening trivia team would have done with these questions. There were some days when I knew most of the answers and then other days where it was a complete bust! lol Now that you have had a day or two to get settled back into "real life", I wondered if you have had time to reflect on your trip. As I kick into high gear planning for my SA and Antarctica next year, I was curious if there were things you thought were a must do/see and other things that were don't bothers. South Georgia is not on our itinerary and we have 3 fewer days, but most of the other ports are the same. Also, did you take any tours through DoRightBrazil? If so, would you recommend them. I have already booked our Falklands excursion through Estancia, to Volunteer Point. Looking forward to seeing the King penguins. Was the smell terrible? lol Glad you found new friends and reconnected with friends from prior cruises. Hope your WC next year is wonderful. I will be reading your blog again (at least whenever we have wifi available on the Volendam) as we circumnavigate South America. Welcome home again! I am sure these next nine months will fly by for both of us! Bonnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SusieKIslandGirl Posted March 29, 2019 #636 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Wow! I was gone from my computer for a few days and there was a lot added to these pages. Just wanted to add my thanks for your blog and photos-and of course, the trivia! Hoping we're on another ship together some day in the future. --Susie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted March 29, 2019 #637 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Kathi, a question if I may please? From your posts it sounded like there were no Grand cruise stuff at all for sale? I really like the Grand sweatshirts as I find they are better quality than the regular HAL stuff and was hoping to snag one on sale. Oh well.

I was also surprised that there was nothing recognizing the Prinsendam's farewell season. I still occasionally wear my Rotterdam V "The end of an Era" tee shirt.
