Rare twangster Posted June 2 Author #736 Share Posted June 2 Sea day so I had some time to work on the departure time lapse leaving Geiranger. We saw the fjord on the way in so this is really to show where the bridge did the 360° turn and a surprise sunset at the end. Consequently I sped it up. I ended the time lapse just after midnight to give you an idea how bright it is this far North this time of year, three weeks before the summer solstice.

My numbers came from an announcement meant for crew during the B2B process before boarding had commenced. As such they were anticipated numbers. Amazingly there are numbers of people who don't show up. Missed flights, medical or family events, etc. 2,178 became 2,127. So it seems 51 no shows or early departures. Interesting. I'm always fascinated by these types of stats. That's probably 20 to 30 cabins. This is why RoyalUp exists, or at least in part. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted June 2 Author #740 Share Posted June 2 Captain's noon address. We'll cross the line at 2:55pm. The imaginary line of the Arctic circle. He did mention it won't be visible in the ocean. I wonder if anyone thought... Apparently we will celebrate the crossing on the return trip Southbound. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve said it many times on this forum and I’ll say it again… you are by far the best photographer/videographer/poster on this forum. Thank you for sharing the car with me. I would be grateful to get a dropbox link after the cruise (or whatever media you use) so that I can have all these memories.👍👍👍👍👍 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m 5’10” myself, and weigh less than that so we should be good. Sold Ken on it with the video shared in this thread, and now just to decide which to choose. The 2 hour or the 3 hour.

On a clearer day we would’ve spent more time at Eagle point as there are 2 short hikes (0.1 and 0.3 km) to secondary viewpoints…. and maybe taking 10 hairpin turns at 80kmh like twangster Andretti did isn’t your cup of tea 😆 2 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted June 2 Author #748 Share Posted June 2 At 2:55pm we reached the Arctic Circle. I almost missed it on account of the mermaids that were trying to distract me. Of course Apple maps had us crossing it earlier but I trust Captain Michael more. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were a little rushed. What @Hoopster95 neglected to mention was that by pulling on my seatbelt it caused me to speed up. I did manage to squeal the tires on one hairpin turn! 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted June 2 #750 Share Posted June 2 (edited) 22 minutes ago, barbeyg said: The 2 hour or the 3 hour. The place doesn't seem too concerned with the timing of the return of the car. The more important part is conserving the battery charge. We booked the "one hour" Panorama tour but went way past the return point indicated by the GPS (we returned the car after about 1hr 20 min) - the only thing limiting us was the battery going down to less than 1/4 state of charge left. However, both of the tours are uphill so as long as you have some charge left at the end point, you get some recharge on the way back down hill and should not run out of juice.
