wow thanks. gee NCL spends money mailing these out. I guess a limited amount makes sense.

very relaxed dress code for lunch and also for the most part dinner. I have seen flip flops, shorts, tee shirts. Also more folks bringing noisy kids to these speciality restaurants so they are not so quiet as one would think

well the walking track would be fun to watch the little one waddle around. Do not forget the merri-go-round too.

i never encountered anyone like that. But I have seen older folks on HAL feel like they were special since they cruised a lot. I try to ignore folks on cruises these days and just enjoy the water and food and shows.

oh okay, gee and I thought it was a model of the ship. thanks for replying. It must be fun to be near the shipyard over there. Guessing secrecy is a big issue too.

sorry to hear the Icon might look a bit like Edge class with that short ugly bow. Gosh....

still does not tell me what it is though?????????????? never heard of it

well they say beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. hmmmm I would pass on this if it was put in front of me. Would rather have a nice rice pudding with cinnamon on top.

aw they also had a two day flight and would have missed out both. check out their video about nightmare getting to ship - JJ Cruise. wow. toodles. looks like you have sea days before greenland. I can't wait to see what you think?

i understand that once in town if you go down by the water there is a trail to see a park and totums.

This is why I book excursions only through the ship. I do not think the difference in money warrants having to worry about time of arrival.

what is the wooden Prima box???

agree and let us not forget that norovirus or food poisoning can be even worse on a ship. I will however still wear a mask in crowded rooms and elevators just because I can.

I agree and when sailing up north where the daylight goes to midnight, having an inside room to sleep in can be great. And having an inside room allows for more money to explore. I try to sail various ways depanding on the route or ports

well it should be interesting if the ship blows the horn much due to fog. Hope you have good weather in Greenland.

oh this is good to know as I thought that was wierd. I am seeing good prices for the Beyond in Nov and might book an inside just to see the ship

they are really great fun to watch and the drama they had getting to NJ and ship is well OMG. Had to fly to Phila not Newark and then train to NYC and then taxi to port. Earlier this year flights cancelled to FL and they drove 19 hours to catch their Odyssey of the Seas. These guys are a nice married couple very up beat and fun to listen to. They love Celebrity and did B2B on Edge, Apex. toodles hope you get to meet them.

these two photos sum up St Johns Newfoundland in what is special to visit. thanks for sharing. Aw I see you have responded so I will go look at it. I hope you have a great time in Iceland. I am doing it next year on NCL Prima and it starts in Reykjavik

aw the JJ Cruise you tubers will be on the B2B and so you might get to meet them.

oh you are two weeks ahead of me and withing 72 hours so I shall expect the same on the 26th. BTW have any of your shorex been affected? I had a time change in Juneau and they have not moved my shorex back a few hours. such a mess with engine issues but I do not mind missing the glaciers as I am more interested in Stika and Ketchikan. Glad I am not going to Skagway toodles

first the CDC relaxes and then the cruise lines. But in the end, it is the various ports that have the last say like Canada and Bermuda for instance. Very confusing for folks who get excited and forget to read the fine print.

I am glad I saw and walked Venice back in the 1990's. One of the cruises that I lost in 2020 was a smaller ship leaving from Venice (Vision of the Seas). I was sad about this. However, forward two years I think the city is right is limiting the size of ships. And I also think the city has gotten much dirtier and bad smelling at times since I was last there. I will keep my memories and never go back.

wonder if they plan to swap out M Gras with Celebration in the future and send M Gras to Miami? Also wonder if the Celebration will have a few things different than M Gras?

yes I think it is linked to passport. I will finish when the time comes on the app but go into on line to see if I can print out. I do not use any email on my iphone for security purposes. to me a text rather than email should be an option if we must use apps.

nice photo from a nice city. thanks
