Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. A bit off topic, but I wanted to provide some context around that “lazy” journalist: Just want to make clear that a reporter doing a story on this (or anything else) is generally not also picking any associated art or, in many cases, writing the headlines, especially with any large publication. That is often a separate editor or designer’s role. Mistakes in photo selection do happen, but it is also quite likely that the photo library to which the editor had access did not contain a better option, with a pic of the Star (recent or otherwise). An image of the Sun, another NCL ship, would be seen as iconic and generally representative of cruising for a story on an NCL cruise matter.
  2. Ooops. Mrs. Turkelton already made it clear, but here's the notice: https://wpyr.com/updates/ Cross Border Tours – Service Suspended for 2022 Operating Season After months of working towards restoring the Carcross and Fraser Train Service Combination, we unfortunately must announce that we are unable to provide these offerings for the 2022 Season. We have delayed this difficult decision for several months in the hopes that we could find a workable solution for all involved and provide passenger service on these international routes. The challenges of logistics, restrictions, and uncertainty around wait times would have made it impossible for us to provide a consistent high quality service without delays and would create significant disruption to the passenger experience. We respect and appreciate the time and efforts of our communities, staff, partners, customers, and governmental agencies at all levels in both Canada and the United States over the last year to try to bring this to fruition. Though we could not complete the task in time for this season, we will continue to work together towards restoring this service for 2023. For those booked on Fraser and Carcross train service this summer, our reservation staff will be reaching out to discuss your travel options and provide an alternative service on our White Pass Summit Excursion offering.
  3. I'm in the exact same boat -- literally! -- having just gotten that cancellation notification re the "White Pass Railway & Yukon Expedition" for the June 26 Encore sailing. It appears to be a railway cancellation, per notice below. And perhaps it's only affecting all of us who booked the longer excursion on the train, versus smaller segments. I've been on many cruises and understand that things happen -- and I recognize I perhaps should have been cautious by avoiding this train itinerary given some uncertainty around covid and the border crossing. But all that said, I'm also pretty upset since of course I made decisions about some other excursions based on what we'd be diong here. And most important, there are zero other open options from NCL right now out of Seward; it's tough to be scrambling to find third-party or even in-house options that will fall short just a few weeks out.
