Rare wishIweretravelling Posted August 17, 2018 Author #101 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Just booked th Norway/Arctic portion of this cruise for 2020. Can you give me a rough estimate of the temperatures? The 2020 cruise is scheduled for about the same time of year. We will probably stay in Europe for a few weeks either before or after so I hate to bring unnecessary cold weather gear. Also, how is Navigator handling the rough seas? I absolutely love your very literate blog! Thanks. Jennifer Thanks Jennifer. We've had quite a few days with temperatures in the 40s, and a good bit of rain. I was very happy for my warm, waterproof jacket at the North Cape and in a couple of other ports. And a warm hat. The seas have not been bad. You do feel the motion a bit more on Navigator than on the other ships, but it isn't awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jctdlt Posted August 17, 2018 #102 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Peggy, Wes and everyone:Ok— here’s the update. Dinner last night in CR was like coming back to your favorite restaurant. All choices were a home run. Service perfect. Enjoyed the entertainer. Sitting on the pool deck this afternoon in Lyeskel Sweden. Skipped tour. Relaxing. Enjoying the sea air. No luggage for me yet. I dont know who’s fault it is. Will ignore money issue until we get home. Happy to be here. Sheila, did you ever get your luggage? Hope you are having a fantastic time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellaggio Cruisers Posted August 17, 2018 #103 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Sheila, did you ever get your luggage? Hope you are having a fantastic time Hi Diana NO— never got luggage. You would have laughed at my quirky dinner outfits. Herb shared his dinner shirts with me. BTW- nobody cared what I was wearing. Loving the journey. We had bought a few items of clothing in Copenhagen. Sweats and rainfear. I wore Herb’s ultra down jacket and Regent gave him a warm jacket. So we were warm on the tours. I Forgot how much we liked the Navigator, clubby and intimate. Everyone is so friendly. Almost over— we fly home from Amsterdam in four days.

jctdlt Posted August 17, 2018 #104 Share Posted August 17, 2018 What a trooper you are. Can’t imagine going a whole cruise without my suitcase. Sounds like cruise was fantastic. Enjoy your last few days. Diana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseluv Posted August 17, 2018 #105 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Sheila, So glad to hear that despite the inconvenience you and Herb are enjoying the cruise! Looking forward to hearing more about your experiences on the cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrvlcruiser Posted August 17, 2018 #106 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Oh Sheila, I didn't realize the luggage didn't make it - I'm glad you're handling it so well - better than most! Regent passengers are basically nice people so when something like this arises, everyone understands. I assume the lost luggage will meet you at home . . . .

Rare WesW Posted August 17, 2018 #107 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Echo the sincere Kudos of the previous posters in the midst of yourlost luggage Bellagio Cruisers/Sheila (and Herb). Y'all have set a very good example for all of us being creative with Herb's shirts and maintaining such a positive "tude." Hope the last few days on board the Navigator are terrific. Safe travels home for Herb and you. And do hope Peggy/xrvlvcruiser is exactly right and your luggage meets you at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare wishIweretravelling Posted August 19, 2018 Author #108 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Word has it that Sheila received her baggage yesterday--just in time for disembarkation in a couple of days. She's been a real trouper about it all! The blog is updated through Norway.

Bellaggio Cruisers Posted August 19, 2018 #110 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Yup! Got the luggage just in time to fly home on Tuesday morning. This has been some journey for us. * lost luggage * expensive clothes shopping in Copenhagen * lost wallet - Herb - in Russia. found two days later onboard * credit card fraud for $$$. Chase stopped card immediately * fell off my scooter today. Badly scraped. No broken bones, I hope. So many folks on this ship have been just wonderful. The crew helped so much. So many people expressed love and caring. Some things are fated to happen. I will never forget this journey. But there are also such fond memories. Just want to get home safely now and laugh about this next week! Hugs to everyone Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelcat2 Posted August 19, 2018 #116 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Also happy that you got your luggage. You beat my record of 10 days without luggage which isn't a good record to beat. I certainly know what it is like and also know and appreciate how great the crew can be in those type of situations. It is quite coincidental that our Norway cruise (Stockholm to Copenhagen) had 30 people with lost luggage. I'm sure that you will remember this cruise fondly - as we do our Norwegian cruise. The missing luggage part of the cruise eventually goes to the recesses of your mind and the good part remains. It was one of our favorite cruises - despite the lost luggage. BTW, who was the G.M. on your cruise? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liptastic Posted August 19, 2018 #117 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Glad your luggage has eventually arrived. Hope you are recovered from your fall from the scooter. You are certainly an inspiration to us all regarding your positive and upbeat attitude. Enjoy the last few days of this cruise and take care.

Bellaggio Cruisers Posted August 20, 2018 #118 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Also happy that you got your luggage. BTW, who was the G.M. on your cruise? Just curious. Franck. He was simply great. We had only one down jacket for both of us so he gave us a warm Regent jacket. We both were toasty for all the northern tours. ( we had purchased sweats in Copenhagen because no luggage had arrived at the Marriott). I was really pretty banged up yesterday when I fell and my scooter fell on top of me. Bad cut on my leg and lots of bruises elsewhere. We are in Amsterdam today. Not able to tour but we have been here several times before. Looking forward to being on the plane tomorrow and flying home. It’s been quite a journey for us. Sheila and Herb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
