Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We had a resident astronomer on board our 2019 WC on the Sun and everybody loved him. Even the captain went to his evening under the stars presentation. When on the Orion in Alaska, we had an astronomer do the show in the planetarium. But it was just so-so.
  2. Yup, just a window. You can see how I missed it. We will be on Neptune in May, and if I remember I’ll take a picture.
  3. Orion does have the Asian station. But I must have walked by it five times before I even noticed it because we had only been on Star, Sea, Sky, and Sun.
  4. Only Orion, I believe. They didn’t prove to be popular and people seemed to want the extra space in the Explorers Lounge. So they were discontinued. We went to one program on Orion, and that was enough.
  5. And, as a hilarious aside, that one excursion I didn’t get immediately in DV I did eventually get, and it was one of the worst excursions I have ever been on. LOL. It all works out eventually!
  6. I think the cabin level is important in this. We always book PV and have never had trouble getting what we want. The first time we cruised Viking, we booked DV and had a few troubles. But, I still book the first one or two excursions that are most important to us first, even in PV.
  7. Love risotto. Don’t like polenta much. But still a much better menu. And my husband and I usually split an Osso bucco. I don’t really eat meat. But the old Osso bucco, I always wanted a few bite of. And I used to order a side of asparagus, and the. Risotto, and cut the asparagus, and mix it into the risotto, with a couple of tablespoons of white wine. But as I have said before, I am a risotto lover. .
  8. I’ve never, ever, in 8 VO cruises had this happen. All the excursion manager has ever done is talk about what happens on the excursion. I’ve never heard a mention of whether or not an excursion was filled.
  9. And I should say, in regard to cutting back, on our first VO cruise in 2017, they had a trio, not a duo playing.
  10. Goodness, I hope not! My favorite was a guitarist we picked up in Spain on our WC, I believe his name was Valentino, who would play classical guitar if you asked him. (BTW my husband is from RI).
  11. We have had a solo guitarist on every one of our eight VO cruises. Varying ability. But we had one on the Star last month. I wonder if your glitch was just a contract confusion? We usually enjoy the guitarist in EL.
  12. And the TV in your stateroom, of course.
  13. I’m pretty sure we don’t have any 50s. Maybe a 20 and some 5s and 10s. But what you are saying is that if I gave them to a cab driver at the airport s/he wouldn’t take them? I do believe we have always used a CC for a cab at Heathrow anyway. Am I wrong about this?
  14. Thank you. I read something about this yesterday, and really didn’t quite know what it meant. I think we will just get Pounds when I arrive in London. I think we have a few in the safe anyway from previous trips.
  15. I see that that the $ to £ rate is not that good anyway. And B of A is even worse. But I might get $100 in £5 notes for tipping. I have to check, I think we have a few pounds in he safe, but probably not small notes.
