Rare Copper10-8 Posted April 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2023 This post was recognized by LauraS! "Wow -- another from Copper10-8! Thank you for generously sharing your time at sea with everyone at Cruise Critic!" Copper10-8 was awarded the badge '"Live from...."' and 5 points. Leaving tomorrow morning for San Diego for a 4-day northbound Pacific Coastal on Nieuw Amsterdam to Vancouver, BC, with a stop in always really nice Victoria, BC, followed by a (separate) 7-day Alaska inside passage journey with stops in Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan. Since we are not returning to San Diego this time, we are leaving the hooptee at home with Stiv, our cat who will not be a happy camper, but has Maria's mum to take care of him, and flying the, at one time, friendly skies of United Express on a approx. 35 min. flight to Lindbergh Field on a Canadian-designed and built Bombardier CRJ-701ER (CL-600-2C10). If interested, travel along with us 😉 34 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakridger Posted April 26, 2023 #11 Share Posted April 26, 2023 I'll be reading along as always! @Copper10-8 I'm curious why you flew from LA to San Diego? It seems like it would take longer door to door than driving. Bon Voyage, and I'll wave as you pass by San Francisco!! 😁 ~Nancy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then decided on UA Express using sky miles so it didn't cost us anything 😉 We'll be waving back at ya when we're alongside the city of the Bay! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishMaid Posted April 26, 2023 #19 Share Posted April 26, 2023 We did this last year on the NA. There were 500 passengers to Vancouver and 600 on the 7 day cruise. More crew than passengers. In the lido several of the crew would descend to remove our plates before we had finished the last morsel. Great service. Please let us know how many are on the ship this year. Have a great time! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennaja Posted April 26, 2023 #22 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Safe travels,and have a wonderful trip! If you have a chance, can you ask a crew member how many passengers or % of capacity they're expecting for the 14 day Alaska sailing departing on 5/14/23? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stateroom_Sailor Posted April 26, 2023 #23 Share Posted April 26, 2023 We sail on Nieuw Amsterdam on May 7th, which I believe the above poster is referring to. If supplies are short handed or anything is out of order, you get to be the scapegoat! 🤣 Have a great cruise! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
