It is like seeing the Grand Canyon for the first time. No single picture or a whole roll can capture the absolutely amazing experience. Makes me seem so small in the immense world. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted August 15, 2022 Author #854 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Forgot to mention that we saw whales today near the valley with the big Glacier Flow. They were quite a distance away but cold see their Blow and a couple times the breach and tail. AMAZING !!!! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was funny that the Captain also made the announcement when most of the passengers had already gone ashore. No word on B2B day. They are still prepping letters to be tested and hoping not to have to deliver them. They said we would definitely know at the B2B meeting when the decision is made. Really enjoying following along on your Live post. We still have not set foot in the Theater but been enjoying the Beyond the Podium from our room. They have them on the Movie section of tv. They have all of the in case you missed one. Maybe Celebrity HQ read the latest CDC guidance and is eliminating the B2B testing requirements based on the following CDC change. The timing is right. 🤞🤞 Recommending screening testing of asymptomatic people without known exposures will no longer be recommended in most community settings. https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2022/p0811-covid-guidance.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that just as we were leaving. We can sure hope. I think that they also have to follow Canadian regulations and my understanding is their regulations are that All Cruise Ship Passengers must be tested 2 days before boarding the ship. Hmmm... Really stupid as they don't require testing for car or airplane. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - I was using Cruise Mapper App to see where we on the Fjords. We passed a bunch of buildings and radio towers near the outlet. Need to figure out what it was because it didn't show on Google Maps. We are in and out of floating fog banks occasionally get so thick the ship starts the fog horns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much for sharing the spectacular scenery! It is beautiful. It is the first they have had in 3 years and was heavily booked. Originally they did it to Dublin which many preferred. I love this itinerary as I had lived in Dublin for 3 years. All of the ports except Halifax were new to us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much for sharing the spectacular scenery! HAL also has cruises that sail a very similar route. It is a route that we use to escape the horrible heat and humidity of the SE US during July and August. I think all the mainstream lines have a similar route now. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago as we were cruising in the fog in Alaska, I'd be on alert while doing my laps on the track for the slight "moan" that preceeded the horn sounding---especially when I was rounding the corner forward (Vision or Rhapsody OTS).

However, there are still plenty not wearing a mask.😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgesGal Posted August 15, 2022 #867 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Another GREAT READ, Jim! I've been working my way through for the past week on and off. I'm always happy to see another live from JimIain! Beautiful photography as well. Thank you for your generosity with your time on vacation once more!

Problem was Lyle thought a great place but with light in background and windows tinted blue it took over. this is our favorite place to sit in Retreat. Thanks for trying. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseNYC Posted August 15, 2022 #875 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Jim - feels like this cruise is an absolute must for us. Can’t do next year but would love to do this itinerary in 2024. Any idea when they release and if they offer the same itineraries year after year? Thank you in advance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
