Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Still lurking here on our way to the airport! Hoping all the great weather and Drake Lakes aren't used up! Can't wait.... Thank you for adding to our excitement! Chris
  2. Looks like you're finishing up as we are starting! I feel like I know my way around the ship now! Thank you! Pray for fair winds, following seas and the Drake Lake for the Feb 18 crew! Chris
  3. All of these cruises having such great weather is really making me worry!! It can't last forever! Haha. Yes, we are aware of the change in itinerary. NCL sent out an email with the changes. My uneducated guess that it was a result of the passengers on the Jan 21st sailing being very upset about missing the Falklands for no apparent reason. Two other ships were in port that day so you would assume that it wasn't too terrible to tender. They changed our port date for Stanley and substantially increased our time in port there. I am wondering if that was a result of so many passengers being upset about the return tender difficulties. In addition to changing our port date in the Falklands they removed Paradise Island all together and now we will sail Elephant Island & Admiralty Bay on the same day. I'm not exactly sure why they did this as it resulted in us having an extra sea day after the Falklands...it could be the timing since we'll be spending more time in at Stanley. Of course we are disappointed. I plan to call NCL and lodge my complaint but we tend to not get too worked up about things we can't control. We also believe that we will still have an incredible journey. I do understand everyone being upset though and if we don't get into the Falklands which as you know is quite possible, I'm afraid of the backlash NCL will receive. Also, sometimes I think the cruise lines aren't up front with their passengers which causes more anger. I have seen this on multiple cruise lines. I don't think the passengers on any of these NCL impacted sailings have been given an honest explanation. Chris
  4. Thank you so much for all of the photos and information! We opted to do something other than Volunteer Point in Stanley...Your photos make me feel like I at least saw it through your lens! Getting so very excited! Chris
  5. Love port days but I love those relaxing Sea Days too! Great itinerary for that! Chris
  6. We must be about the same age....the same thing is happening to us! We never used to forget things! Hoping & praying I see some whales!! The binoculars are in the to be packed pile! Sounds like a great anniversary gift! We will be celebrating our 40th going through (hopefully) the Drake Passage! Thank you for the movie recommendation! It is hard to find a good movie these days! Chris
  7. Just incredible pictures!! Thank you so much for sharing! Where were you on the ship when you saw whales? From your balcony? I seem to have the worst luck seeing them...so trying to make a plan to find some on our 2/18 sailing! Thank you so much! Chris
  8. Can't wait! I've read that now they offer you the "wet" boat ride or the "dry" boat ride.... Either doing the "dry" or not at all! Really just want to see the best of the Falls! Thank you!
  9. Ok...Not that we're afraid of getting wet...we just really want to see the Falls not turn it into an amusement park ride! Thank you!
  10. Hello, We are on a different sailing but trying to find an answer. We are doing a pre-cruise tour to Iguazu Falls. There is a boat ride in our itinerary. Did you do one? Some of the comments I've read say that you will get soaking wet. If you did the boat ride is that accurate? Trying to decide if we need flip flops along with wearing our hiking shoes! Thanks, Chris
  11. Thank you for sharing! Loving following along! Chris Were you there the same time of year last time?
