WonderMan3 Posted May 8, 2020 Author #729 Share Posted May 8, 2020 At Arikok National Park in Aruba. This is the wilder and windier side of the island with some amazing topography. From a stop during an Eclipse cruise in January 2015. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vms Posted May 9, 2020 #731 Share Posted May 9, 2020 James Bond Island, Thailand. Millennium, November 2015. The view was stunning, but more memorable was the adventure trying to get back to the ship. The small boat we were touring Phang Nga Bay with sprang a leak when the pilot did a bad job of coming alongside the dock at a snack stop and ripped a hole in the side. We had an extra 30-45 minute wait for a new one. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBare Posted May 10, 2020 #734 Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) Catching up with the latest season of Westworld last night reminded me of the amazing architecture of Valencia's science park posing as the Delos Corporations HQ. A picture has already been posted but the place is worth another look. These pictures are from 2016 when a 2 Euro bus ride would take you there from the port gates.

Chrisclaire Posted May 10, 2020 #737 Share Posted May 10, 2020 The following photos are not taken from a cruise I was on, but if you have been on the Northern European cruise on the Reflection you may recognise this amazing Rail Bridge, the ship would have been docked close to it in South Queensferry (my home town) near Edinburgh My sister sent me these photos today & I just had to share them. Hope they bring back happy memories for some..... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really miss this experience.... and I’ really sad not yet to be able to see the light at the end of the Covid tunnel where the possibility of experiencing it again.

It’s not spaghetti flavored. 🙄🙄 They call it ice spaghetti because they put the gelato into a press that squeezes it out into strands that look like spaghetti.

Thank you for explaining. I’m sorry I was so stupid to not understand something I had never heard of. Naming it after a dish that is definitely not ice cream or gelato was confusing - at least for me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always thought that an excursion in a small boat through the locks would be neat. Will have to look into it next time whenever that is . Great picture of the unique view!

It is an interesting ride although you do not get to sail through all of the locks. When we did it, we went through the Pacific Ocean side locks.

Rare mahdnc Posted May 11, 2020 #750 Share Posted May 11, 2020 (edited) Jan 2 2018 Solstice sailing, 12 Night Great Barrier Reef Here is the sunset as viewed from our balcony when Solstice was anchored for her overnight off of Yorkeys Knob (Cairns) on Jan 7. We were actually marooned on the ship as we expected to take a tender back to shore after eating dinner. We were planning on staying at a hotel in Cairns during the overnight so that we could catch a dive boat early the next morning. However because of the high winds, the Captain stopped the tendering at 6pm with the only tenders operating were those that took passengers back from Yorkeys Knob to the ship. Earlier in the day, the high winds caused one of the tenders to crash into Solstice resulting in one of the windows on the tender to shatter. The high winds also loosened Solstice's anchor twice forcing her to re-anchor. Edited May 11, 2020 by mahdnc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
