VermeulT Posted September 10, 2014 #277 Share Posted September 10, 2014 The Statendam is scheduled to go there in 2015, but don't know if it will or not with the sale to P & O winding up. The renovation list has been posted. Does anyone know which ship will be replacing the Statendam on the schedules. Thanks Okie1946 The sale of the Statendam will be after the 2015 Alaska season.

RetiredMustang Posted September 11, 2014 Author #279 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Dave, It was great meeting you on this cruise. I hope to sail with you and Kathy again. Elsie Hi, Dave. Nice to meet you on board, and wish we had been able to spend some time really chatting. I just spent the last couple of hours reading all about your cruise (and checking out some of the pics), and realized again that two people on the same ship at the same time take two different cruises. :) You seem to have had a great time of it! The pics were great. Thanks for refreshing my memory (it's short these days) of what it was like. Elsie, It was truly enjoyable to see you about the ship, and to share time together. I hope we might share another cruise. Ruth, I'm glad to have finally met you. I too am sorry we did not have time to just sit and natter, about cruising and life in general. But, now I do know what Greg Neal means when he says he likes to cruise with you. Maybe we will all cruise together again, someday, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okie1946 Posted September 11, 2014 #284 Share Posted September 11, 2014 The sale of the Statendam will be after the 2015 Alaska season. Glad to hear that we will have the opportunity to sail on the Statendam before it leaves the fleet. DH and I decided to book this for our 2015 cruise.

Don't spammy Posted September 29, 2014 #286 Share Posted September 29, 2014 "...purchased tickets for the shuttle downtown ($11 CAD each round-trip)". Did you find that you needed to exchange USD for Canadian dollars for your day of Victoria touring or did you just use your credit cards? Thank you.

RetiredMustang Posted September 30, 2014 Author #287 Share Posted September 30, 2014 "...purchased tickets for the shuttle downtown ($11 CAD each round-trip)". Did you find that you needed to exchange USD for Canadian dollars for your day of Victoria touring or did you just use your credit cards? Thank you. We had Canandian notes. We usually exchange currencies before cruise if we are going to stop in non-Caribbean non-U.S. ports, simply because it is easier, and we don't have to ask if they accept U.S. currency. IIRC, the tour bus operators would also take $US, but I don't remember if it was at par, or if the fare was a dollar or two higher for U.S. currency. I did not notice if they took credit cards, but I imagine they would, since the bars, stores, etc. we visited in Victoria all did. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
