Thanks for the quick response. I will make sure to be there early!

Were you notified the night before that as a ***** you would not be given priority boarding? If not, how would you know ahead of time? Normally, we get a note the night before our first tendering that we don't need to get a tender ticket and to just head to the tender when we want. I'm asking as we're on a private tour out of Bar Harbor on the VOV which just happens to be the first port of call. We arrive @8 and our meet time on shore is 9:30. The vendor said to allow 30 min. for tendering. I thought this would give us ample time with our 5 star mariner status, but DH has me questioning the reservation. Thanks for any insight.

Thanks. I'm sure we will take advantage of the bus if we can figure which one to take. I have written down the info for that port call.

Do you know how far from the port it is and how long did it take you to get there?

Is something wrong? I can't open day two pictures.

That is why there is a port call in Victoria, Canada

Thank-you . It worked and got my cards.

I also couldn't find them.

It was in 2018 on the Noordam. Guests signed up to swim across the Lido pool, climb out, and kiss the fish. It was so well received that there were two lines going. Prior to and after the ceremony anyone could kiss the fish.

Yes, but that was back in the day that we, as polywog passengers, actually got to partake in the festivities, swimming across the pool and kissing the fish. A fond memory. I think it is only crew now in the brink.

So did you escape with your dollars or did you take a lot of photos?

How do you measure the height of the swells? Does the captain state the height on his talks at noon.

We have sailed on both the K'dam and and Niew Statendam. Both times we had early fixed dining, both times we were seated on the lower level, and both were excellent dining experiences. We have also had early fixed dining, seated on the lower level on other classes of ships. Never been an issue.

Several years ago while vacationing at Whistler DH jokingly asked our personable sever why Canadians say, "Eh." His response was, "The same reason you Yanks say, 'Uh.'"

Happy Canada Day to all of our cruise critic friends up north! Hoping we sail together again.

What ship was that?

Please listen to Gus's opening statement, and one will hear him acknowledge the "PC" members at the event.

What are the three ports?

Just curious, how late is the casino open?

We enjoy following your blog, as well as those of the others onboard the world cruise. Just a bit curious as to what perks President Club members get above and beyond 5 star perks.

Just catching up, but i second Pipi's 100 percent

Thank-you just curious. Have a great trip and I enjoy following along

Question... How does one get 11 complimentary meals on one cruise?

Tim, That was us, Ed and June. We were a bit concerned that possibly you were quarantined because we never saw you after getting off the plane. Bon Voyage and safe travel.

We, too, are leaving on a cruise before ballots are mailed out and won't return until after the election. We contacted the local elections office and were told that beginning last Friday, 9/23, we could get in-person early ballots. We were there on Friday. What impressed me most was that while we were waiting for our ballots three other couples walked up requesting theirs. We have voted in our state.
