lincslady Posted June 10, 2022 #502 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Mysty - I typed 'mind you don't fall' at the end of my post, and then deleted it, thinking it a bit too bossy! But you are wise to stay put - it is just a shame when you are not getting to the restaurants and lounges; no doubt room service is great.

Rare mysty Posted June 10, 2022 Author #503 Share Posted June 10, 2022 We continue to bounce like a rubber ball. Captain's report at noon indicated there would not be much change. With the humongous splashes, spray and rain drops it feels like we are inside a shaken snow globe. For the first time ever cruising since 2005 Myster had to bounce his way to Reception for medication for his queasiness. This storm is a beast. Arrival in Runavik now looks to be late afternoon tomorrow instead of scheduled early morning. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we were heading to Antarctica a few years ago (precovid) the seas reminded me of being in a washing machine for 4 days. Grueling!

Rare Gourmet Gal Posted June 10, 2022 #505 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I encountered similar swells on a sailing from Iceland to the Faroes a few years ago. It was also in June. Is this typical this time of year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The creaking sounds we heard aboard the Moon during rough seas reminded me of when I worked in a high rise building. When the building swayed during high winds, it had a similar creaking noise. Engineers will tell you its meant to creak and sway, but it never gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling. Hoping everyone on the Moon makes it thru this rough patch of the voyage with minimal discomfort. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqtchas Posted June 10, 2022 #511 Share Posted June 10, 2022 The creaking for us was the bathroom door. I tried to tighten the gage at the top but no success. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galka Posted June 11, 2022 #512 Share Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) Hallo Misty, I hope, the Weather will be better soon. It is not nice, rocking sea, look so miserable, just like the waves by our Antarctica trip 😱 13 hours ago, Stumblefoot said: you’ll find the answers to your four questions. I have also read the thread, befor I ask. That's why I know about not the best situation before and I'm a little worried. The question is, whether the restriction will be changed by a lot of COVID cases on board? Every segment of Grand Voyage is a little bit other: the new PAX, sometimes is many people on board, who don’t want to comply, sometimes not 🤔 I ask about the current situation by segment 4. Thanks. See your soon in Copenhagen. regards Galina Edited June 11, 2022 by Galka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
