cruisegirl1 Posted January 12 #2227 Share Posted January 12 3 hours ago, lovesthebeach2 said: it’s so cool (literally lol) to see the huge chunks of ice. When we did the Arctic Crossing in 2022 and did a day cruise on Prins Christin Sund, the crew was all outside with us the whole time. I was so happy to see them enjoying it as much as us. I’m trying to attach 2 pics. Not sure if this works.. one night during dinner the captain announced for us to go out and see the train of icebergs, and the sun was setting at the same time. Sorry, I can’t get the iceberg one to post… IMG_5258.heic 861.51 kB · 18 downloads Went through in the TA 2024 as well. Possibly one of the most memorable cruise days ever! It was a nice sunny day, so it felt a bit warmer than it was. Photographer snapped photos with large icebergs in the background. We bought the photo but some folks we show it to think the background is fake! So blessed to have such wonderful memories. I can't imagine taking in so many interesting and beautiful sights as those on the WC will do. M M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimate World Cruise is deserving of Ultimate Drama, both here on CC as well as TikTok😉😇 No drama here....just really big chunks of ice and glaciers. 😉 I would then call that "dramatic". 😄 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually it's said with a resigned sigh or groan. 🙂 Yeah, my friend Dave will agree to that 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His response. ...... Oh wow! That sailor needs to be careful! They don't want a Titanic repeat! 😆 BTW, keep the pics coming. We are enjoying. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted January 12 Author #2234 Share Posted January 12 Really calm seas inside the strait....like glass. Lots of Humpback whales, but only clearly seen with the binoculars. 18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted January 12 Author #2236 Share Posted January 12 Nice to be able to duck inside the cabin when we get cold. Could never get tired of this view going by our door. 🥰 25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But indeed, have been watching many pods of them with the binoculars. Happy we brought two really good sets! Have only seen the one pods of Orcas. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite little travel pair (that stay in our carry on bag at all times) are Steiner 10 X 26...but Bucky said don't get the American made ones if you get Steiner...only the German made ones. Thanks. I use to have a pair of Leupold binoculars that were 10 x 50. But I sold them with all my other hunting equipment when I stopped hunting. We are going on an Alaska cruise (first for us) in September and I'm contemplating on buying another set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
