Bakincakes Posted July 26, 2012 #5 Share Posted July 26, 2012 What a nice blog!!!! Disappointing that the weather has hampered many of your stops...but at least you are making lemonade out of those lemons. I was following another Viking blog..but that one is too depressing...nothing seems to be pleasing the blogger...so I think I'll switch and follow yours.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durangoscots Posted July 26, 2012 #7 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Thanks for keeping us up-to-date with your blog... and I hope the weather improves for you. I did this cruise in 2010 and we had lots of fog but made all ports. Same Captain. Norway is wonderful. Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuthC Posted July 26, 2012 #10 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Hope you had a great time in Molde, it's such a pretty place. I remember one year I did the VoV and we had fog every day. Every. Single. Day. :( Bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PathfinderEss Posted July 26, 2012 #11 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Thanks for link to your DH's blog. Really enjoying traveling along on your cruise. Sorry about the weather and the change in your itinerary but that's cruising for you. Sounds like you all are adjusting just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janmcn Posted July 26, 2012 #12 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Thanks for blogging. We didn't take this cruise as planned since we opted to take the Antarctica trip in Jan. thinking it might be the last one that "did" Antarctica. We did do a similar passage to yours on the Eurodam and had to cut out a few ports due to hurricanes…so I think that the iffy weather in the area you are cruising is always going to cause problems…but making lemonade isn't bad at all. Having to spend more time in Molde is great! Enjoy the trip! We've been in many of "your ports" and enjoyed all of them! Hi to Nancy and Bill from CCs who are friends from a Prinsendam cruise we were hoping to cruise with again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazey1 Posted July 26, 2012 #14 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Thank you Divi. We had to cancel this cruise due to health problems so this will allow us to get a taste of what we missed Jane and Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjcox9 Posted July 26, 2012 #16 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I'd had an e-mail from some folks we know who are on board and knew about the weather issues and missed ports up til Reyjkavik. Sorry to hear you've missed yet another one!! Hope it's the last and that Norway is kinder to you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Divi Posted July 27, 2012 Author #22 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Sitting at a cafe in Geirager. Spectacular spot, perfect weather. My husband did a sea kayaking excursion today and thought it was fantastic. It's fun walking around seeing so many of the crew enjoying some free time. I know all HAL ships have great crews but Maasdam truly is outstanding. We are hoping, of course, that the nice weather follows us.:) Deen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted July 27, 2012 #23 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Sitting at a cafe in Geirager. Spectacular spot, perfect weather.... We are hoping, of course, that the nice weather follows us.:) Deen I hope so, too. Isn't that sail up/down the fjord just spectacular! Were the Seven Sisters flowing heavily? They were just trickles when I sailed by in May. Very disappointing. I have seen them in their glory, and know the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna Posted July 27, 2012 #24 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Deen and luvcruisin' - Wonderful blogs and photos by Randy and Jeff. Besides giving me something to look forward to for next year, it also lets me know what kind of clothing to plan on packing. Deen - I don't blame you for trying to bring everything but the kitchen sink.:D It seems you have to plan for every possible type of weather.
