Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We had a port cancelled at the last minute and replaced with Puerto Montt. When we arrived there (March 2023) were l of taxis and companies offering tours. We had already decided just to walk around town so I couldn't say how the prices were compared to online companies.
  2. In March I did most of your itinerary on Celebrity. The very best part of the cruise was the extra time we spent going to Iguazu Falls. That was my favourite part of the entire trip. I loved Rio it is worth spending extra time there if you can. Seeing Christ the Redeemer in Rio was iconic but the views from Sugar Loaf mountain were unbelievable. I got very seasick one day, a port was missed because of near hurricane winds, but it was worth seeing this part of the world. I haven't sailed on the Star but like the NCL brand. It looks like a good cruise to me!
  3. Thank you for taking the time to share your cruise! I will be sailing from Quebec City to Boston soon and just have to ask what Christmas ornaments you bought and if they were hard to find.
  4. If you want an easy guide to how to fill in the arriveCAN this might help: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2022/05/18/how-use-the-arrivecan-app-your-alaska-cruise
  5. In addition to the eDocs, they scanned the QR code from our proof of vaccination. We also showed the paper copy of our covid test result. All of these are on our phones but it was so much easier to have everything on paper. Sometimes old school is faster.
  6. I was on the Bliss June 18 to 25 sailing from Seattle. Anyone who had not filled in the ArriveCAN was not allowed to board until they did it. There were many, many people sent off to the side to do just that. There was another group of people who didn't know NCL requires a negative covid test to board. More delays for them while they had to get tested (and pay for it). I shook my head and wondered if anyone ever reads the emails NCL sends explaining the requirements. My husband and I breezed through. The staff who checked us in appreciated having all the QR codes printed out so they could scan them quickly.
  7. This is the scrapbooking kit that sells for $24.95 Back view of the box:
  8. I can’t post the dailies because mine are too well used and folded to copy. Here are some dates and times for the theatre that you might find useful: Day 1 – Sonia Selbie 8pm Day 2 – Jersey Boys 6:30pm and 9:30pm (loved the show!) Day 3 -Jersey Boys 7:30pm Day 4 - Sonia Selbie 8pm Day 5 – Six The Musical 7:00pm and 9:30pm. (Mixed feeling about this one. If you don’t know the history of the Henry VIII era, you might miss some of the good one-liners, if you aren’t up with popular culture, you might not ‘get’ some of it either). Fun show though. Day 6- Six the Musical 7:30pm Levity Comedy 10pm Day 7 – Beatles All the Hits 2:15pm and 4:15pm I booked the Jersey Boys and Six as soon as we boarded and there was lots of availability. The only other show you can book is the Levity Entertainment Group. All the times were gone quickly, however, the two comics perform in the main theatre on Day 6.
  9. I will take some photos in natural daylight tomorrow. It is really nice, I think.
  10. My husband and I did the test using my iPad. It was a bit awkward tilting it so the nurse could see the testing devices but we managed. The nurse at WM Life Centres had great customer service skills (used to dealing with seniors) and walked us through the whole procedure. We were emailed the results within minutes. The main thing is that NCL accepted the results so I am a very satisfied customer! I downloaded the Meet Google app on my iPad first.
  11. While I was in the photoshop on the Bliss I was excited to see they sell Alaska scrapbook albums. The one I bought has 5 pocket pages plus 10 photo sleeves for 12X12 layouts. It is $24.95 less any loyalty discounts. It has a beautiful cover. The best part is that there is also a scrapbooking kit that has (12) 12X12 papers, journaling cards, sticker sheets, embellishments, cardstock, and acrylic 'gems'. It is also $24.95.
  12. kjquilts thank you for sharing your story. Fell better soon! I will be on the Bliss in a few weeks and will be extra careful now. It is great to know you did enjoy the cruise. How was the entertainment on board? Do you have any 'must see' or 'must do' recommendations?
  13. NCL is still offering water and addresses the cord issue. This was in our email today from the Access Desk: Re: Norwegian Bliss Voyage of 6/18/2022 Dear Mr. Thank you, your completed special needs form has been received. The information provided has been noted. Please review the below information. C-pap Machine / Distilled Water: Be advised that we can provide distilled water on board. There is no additional charge for the water. The ship has been advised to provide you with distilled water for the machine for the duration of the cruise. Please contact the Access Officer on board if there are any problems or if you require additional water. The Access Officer can be reached through the Front Desk. We also recommend that guests bring an extension cord at least 6ft. long, as the outlets are not close to the bed. The extension cord may be confiscated from luggage to be examined for safety and if deemed safe, returned to the guest. The ship only has a very small supply (available first-come, first-serve) and can be requested at the Guest Services Desk.
