ocean sounds

hi, on a previous thread @Gitmo said they were booked on the eclipse charter, and I am as well. A long time to wait!

I looked at the map before I booked. According to Space dot com, the TSE path will be 160 miles wide. So midpoint will be, at the closest, 80 miles from, for instance, Tripoli. And east of there, even further than 80 miles to TSE midpoint from the coast of Libya. This will be the leader’s 91st trip to experience a Solar eclipse.

Totally agree on the options available. I like the idea of watching at sea. This will be my first time on Windstar, So long to wait!

Great! I booked it this week. Sounds like a great experience!

Is it the July 27-August 5, 2027 Eclipse Tour cruise?

Hi, I’m also booked on that sailing. I understood that we will see the eclipse as we sail away from port. “ When the moon moves across the sun, you could be on Queen Anne, departing the sunny Spanish port of La Coruña in the early evening. Spend your day strolling the Spanish streets, taste tapas in La Coruña's Old Town, or visit the Tower of Hercules, an ancient site situated at the top of the cliffs, for a beautiful view. Then return to your ship, and bask in the fading sun on Queen Anne's deck with a cocktail, sunglasses at the ready for prime eclipse viewing as you sail out of port. A perfect day.“ I’m sure looking forward to it !

So sad. Thoughts and prayers to families of the two, and to all impacted. 🙏🏻

Hi, Ken. Yes, your DW is correct, I remember seeing one in the refreshment building. Thanks again for an awesome Live report.

@Ken the cruiser and your DW, it was so nice meeting you today in the theater ! Thanks again for a wonderful, detailed thread, and safe travels home.

Booo. If I don’t return to my cabin, can I stay ? 😂 This has truly been one of my favorite cruises.

@Ken the cruiser, thank you for your wonderful details in your posts ! I love that you took the time to add the names of the glaciers to your photos. I was in a loud area and couldn’t hear the commentary clearly . Thank you so much for the glacier names !

@Ken the cruiser, the glacier viewing was amazing this evening. I was lucky to be sitting near the promenade door as they came into view. Absolutely stunning.

2-1/2 hours. 16 per group 4 - 4x4s PSY665: Gentoo Penguins Expedition At Newans Station

@Ken the cruiser, love the pictures from your Stanley Excursion! I opted for shorter Gentoo Penguins tour, as unsure about 4x4 roughness. It was perfect for those wanting a less strenuous pace. About 15-20 minute 4x4 only. I hope you don’t mind if I share a few photos? To let people know it was a good tour? We saw hundreds of Gentoo and 1 King penguin.

I really enjoyed them. They were great ! Enjoy your excursion tomorrow!

Thanks for all details and photos!! So happy to be joining the ship tomorrow. All checked in at the airport, for non-stop flight to Buenos Aires overnight.

Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you @Ken the cruiser, for sharing these beautiful sights with us.

Count me in! I love to hear ocean sounds too !

Thank you for all the pictures. I can’t wait to see it soon.

I was on an excursion waitlist a few weeks ago. One night I received an email from Princess - an updated booking summary showing money owed. It was for the cleared excursion. The letter advised I had 48 hours to pay for the excursion. good luck!

Excited to hear your thoughts on this excursion! I’m booked on it for the next cruise. @KenTheCruiser, Your morning photos from Punta Arenas are gorgeous.

I don’t mind loud music outside, but inside is a different story. I was on Harmony 2 months ago, and the music in the production shows in the theater was LOUD. I finally walked out of 2 different shows. Tried lower level for one, and upper level for other. Is there a good section of the theater to sit where the volume isn’t outrageous ? Anyone else find the sound crAzy loud?

Following along! Can’t wait to see how y’all like it. Have fun!

+ 1. Bon Voyage @sailingdutchy @Quartzsite Cruiser, thanks for letting me borrow your pretty Bon Voyage message 👍

I also love all the photos! Thank you all for sharing your trip with us!
