Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Nice -- but decades from now you will miss your voices and thoughts, even if its just a voice over track. The music is nice -- but think of the long term. What's important? Even now, you can take the same footage and use voice over to make it a real record of how things were back then on the Icon of the Seas.
  2. If you are headed to Alaska, this is the way to see a Glacier.
  3. I believe Length Over All is correct. But I wonder this important to publish in the Port schedule of arrivals? Far better would be the ETA.
  4. Does anyone know what LOA :964 means in reference to Queen Elizabeth arriving at Port of Los Angeles, World Cruise Terminal, Berth 93 on August 22, 2023?
  5. I want to get a new camera. Thinking Sony A7IV. Is that type of DSLR too big? I really want a full frame camera with viewfinder.
  6. No disrespect, but I'd go further and ask, why should the Grills or any part of a Cunard ship be any different from the way I dress for dinner at home? Or the way I dress watching TV in my living room? Why should I ever have to "dress up" anywhere at all. Blue Jeans should be fine at the Oscars, at the Nobel Dinner, and at Royal weddings. Why does the world feel a need to dress up at all? Tradition? Taste? Fun? Once upon a time, Cunard was all about maintaining those old standards of dress and behavior associated with the Golden age of the great luxury liners. Most of us thought it was fun. We weren't going to win a noble prize, but we could dress up and feel special in the lap of luxury. It's what we came for. I, for one, lament it's demise.
  7. I am. Jeans in the Grills at any time makes me cringe.
  8. I've always gone with the flow, anti-clockwise but I'll be happy to go the other way now .. Mainly I'll be happy to get back on a ship, you lucky Kiwi !! We sail on QE this summer in Alaska. Meanwhile, thanks for posting as I caught up with your fabulous blog. Cheers old friend. Keep the blog rolling.
  9. No perks for back to back that I know about. I love going back to back. If you have not booked your trip yet, ask Cunard. Can't hurt. Maybe they can do some additional onboard credit ??
  10. Thanks for this information! I notice the date on this information is Jan 23, 2023. It would certainly be a major disappointment if QE does not call at all at Skagway this year. Does this dock information get updated weekly?
  11. We also visited Hubbard in 2019 while on QE .. The calving we saw was quite impressive.
  12. Thanks for posting we were unaware. Hubbard likely would have more calving but Tracy Arm feels more intimate to the South Sawyer glacier. But --- on occasion Tracy Arm has too much ice and then you lose the day completely. Haines is a poor sub for Skagway, but a delight to us folks who have been to Skagway repeatedly but not Haines.
  13. Absolutely in plain sight on QE .. she sails onward, never missing a party ...
