Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Yeah, I think one of the tricks was that I went to the "tourist" police station in Malaga and got a police report so that I could show people along the way that my passport was stolen and that I'd reported it. And that I was on my way to the embassy.
  2. I had my passport stolen in Malaga, Spain. The ship (Shadow) was leaving that night for Morocco, so the captain kicked me off the ship as I was about to become an illegal alien as we changed International location. I had to catch a train to Madrid (closest American Embassy) and get a replacement passport and then catch another train to pick the ship back up in Valencia a few days later. I'd never been to Madrid, so that was a thing. The finance officer on the Shadow was the "troubleshooter" for the ship, and he maintained contact with me throughout my "land trip." He made reservations at a hotel near the American embassy and made sure that I could check in without a passport. !! It took me less than 4 hours to get the replacement passport, so one night in Madrid and the next morning I got my new passport and headed for Valencia. It was kind of a pain to deal with losing a passport, but it wasn't the end of the world. It took (except for travel time) less than a day to replace my passport. The time in the embassy was quick and simple.
  3. Have you had a look at the SilverSea Roll Calls? You might find some comments from this itinerary from a previous year, there.
  4. Thank you very much. I wonder why they don't use Long Beach. Maybe Los Angeles is closer to the airport.
  5. When SilverSea ports in "Los Angeles" vs Long Beach, exactly where is the "Los Angeles" port? I live in Arizona now, but spent 50 years in San Diego, but I can't think of where the Los Angeles port would be. Thanks.
