Oh my! That was before our Seabourn cruising "career" began, thank goodness!!😝

Spectacular!

We were on tour in Bangkok once that included a lunch. We love Thai food and were expecting a wonderful experience. What did we get? All American style buffet food with one Thai soup available - which was very good, btw. Very disappointing.........

Yes, please let us know which person you are in the pix I posted. Inquiring minds want to know!

We were happy to be there instead of way out there. We'd been to Edinburgh so many times in the past, it was nice not to have to worry about transportation into town. Had we not gone to St Andrews, we'd have just gone to Leith and had lunch at a place we've enjoyed a couple of times. I don't think I've ever seen New Haven on a HAL itinerary.

Yes, we have the Seabourn orange waterproof jacket that goes over the black jackets, two in fact. Wow, it has been a long time since we were there. As I recall, the Bird Nest was under construction when we were there so it has been a long time.

Although I don't have a lot of info about New Haven, we did have it as a port for Edinburgh last summer on the Island Princess. We went to St Andrews and DH decided I needed to see the course that he had the opportunity to play several times. It is a tender port and is fairly close to Leith where the Royal Yacht is available for touring. Here are a few pictures of the port area. A lighthouse near the tender dock The view of the town from the lighthouse walkway A few shops near the tender dock. Sorry, that is all we saw of New Haven, but most everyone went off to Edinburgh or elsewhere, I believe. We did get to drive over the Firth of Forth bridge near Queensferry where most ships dock on our way to St Andrews.

Nice to see you getting some use from your Seabourn Antarctic jackets! Love the picture of the Great Wall. It's been a long time time since our visit there. Looks pretty empty.

Perhaps only those of us of a "certain age" would quickly get the alligator.............😊

No jackets on Iceland/Greenland Quest cruise. Yes, there are some zodiac shore excursions offered, but it is not an expedition cruise. Did it in 2022.

Actually unrelated to post, but wanted to ask you a ? since you were on a previous cruise, same itinerary. Did you also have to tender in Ushuaia? Seems like this time they did and it was a bit of a snafu. Thanks

Great street patch job!!! Love Alesund and the lovely water reflections it can provide on a nice day. We have been there several times and enjoy it each time.

Just want to add a couple more pix from Paaimut, also from the Seabourn Quest, but in 2022. We also enjoy the small, less visited ports. The first is of some carvings in a stone embankment. And the second is just reflections along the walkway into the village.

Just finished this book recently. It had been recommended to us last year when we were in Antarctica and since we are following multiple voyages in that part of the world decided it was time to give it a read.

Now on the new Seabourn expedition ships, each cabin has a pair of Swarovski binocs for use during the voyage. Of course, they are also more than happy to sell them to you!
