  1. Soon to be a reef offshore Destin, FL gulf coast. First to be stripped of hazardous materials in Mobile, arriving tomorrow 3/3/25. https://share.garmin.com/SSUNITEDSTATES I saw her at the dock in Southampton, UK back in 1950s, together with Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth. Quite a sight 🥹
  2. Doing online check-in and realised my passport expires six days earlier than exact six months but it only says "suggest" so I'll go with it and take a valid alternative as backup. Driving to port.
  3. There was snow in Galveston during Dickens on The Strand in early Dec 2010. Helene forecast to be high cat 4 by landfall Thursday evening, 110+mph winds: https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at4+shtml/032536.shtml?gm_track#contents https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at4+shtml/213335.shtml?rainqpf#contents Huge rain forecast inland. Safe travels to all.
  4. She was in Southampton after gaining the Blue Riband together with both Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary, my father took me down to see it all 😎
  5. I don't remember anyone mentioning anything like that, in fact never heard of George St ! Might've sampled if we'd known
  6. I worked out of St John’s some years ago, we hung out on Water St at a fine place called El Tico but I think it’s gone now.:(
  7. Agreed. We turned our fire hoses on protesters/trouble makers in one port but that wasn’t on a cruise ship! 🤩🤩
  8. Is it true that Jewel no longer has a Champagne Bar?
  9. Consider the source, msn.com. More cr@p than truth.
  10. Wonderful review, thanks. Quick question, does Escape have a crepe station in the buffet? Thanks.
  11. Tnx info, was there on work, drove up from Cape Town but couldn't play tourist.
  12. What's in Luderitz that a cruise ship would want to stop there ? Sure wasn't much when I was there eons ago:)😎
  13. Are they really crystal or just plastic?
  14. Too bad the NaPali drive-by is gone, I wonder why? on land trips we’ve done a sunset cruise from Port Ele ele twice, some years apart, both times with https://www.holoholokauaiboattours.com/kauai-boat-tours/napali-sunset-sightsee-tour/ You leave port about 2 or 3pm and return at dusk.
  15. We were on Jewel, Canada/NE in October. Our OV cabin was deck 3, close to mid ships. Noise was not a problem. Our cabin had the porthole at the head of the bed so not the easiest to see out. Also it seemed cold air from it spilled down on my head at night. That’s all I can think of for now 😎
  16. Does Papeete still have food trucks close to cruise dock?
  17. 1. Voyager 2. Freedom 2. Radiance 3. Vision Never been on any of the others.
  18. Any pics of the albatross monument on Cape Horn?
  19. Anyone know ship's Lat/Lon ? AIS stuff two days old & out of range anyway.
  20. I must’ve been confusing it with something else. There was one by a guy in Quebec who got too busy with his day job and couldn’t keep up so it faded away.
  21. So when did that site come back ? Thought it had gone away!
  22. My beef for years. Hopefully the arrival of some more competition may spur RCL into using some imagination and offering a few > 7dys. MSC wants to build a terminal on Pelican Island but that will be a longer term project.
  23. We were on the same trip (Oct 7). I wasn’t expecting much, based on reviews so we were pleasantly surprised overall. Portions have shrunk, particularly desserts, but that isn’t such a bad thing 😲
  24. Beeline If still in Anchorage strongly suggest Phillips 26 Glacier cruise out of Whittier, they have option to go out of Anchorage or you can drive or take a train.
  25. Fly it in then train/truck it down from Anchorage as needed ?
