The Fjords of Norway in Indian Sumer! I am planing on doing a " Live from .." again. This way all my experiences are fresh in the old noodle. I reread my other " Live from "( the first I ever did) when I came back- bollocks what a lot of spelling errors or typos I made. I am almost ashamed- I try to do better the next time. LOL. You are too modest! I thought all your comments were very well written, and enjoyable and informative as well. Please keep up the good work! You are giving us hope that we, too, will sail again one day. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Miaminice Posted August 20, 2020 #303 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Also because of the positive impressions conveyed by Germancruiser, we also booked one of the cruises to somewhere. However, we chose the warmer region Greece. We will, of course, also report from our cruise. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaFej Posted August 20, 2020 #304 Share Posted August 20, 2020 @Germancruiser, your English is 95,876,345 times better than my German, and better than the English of many native speakers. Your English grammar is far better, as well. Any mistakes are easily overlooked, we are grateful for your reports. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have nothing booked for 2021. For that I wait and see- if all is booked by the time one can book safley - well so be it. LOL. Thanks a lot. I would also go again without hestiation. I hope they are doing similar cruises in the fall. Curious if there was any problems with people not agreeing to wearing there mask? Here in the US if more people agreed to wear a mask, & wear it properly, we could have a big change in controlling the virus plus people out in large groups mostly without masks on. In San Francisco a lot of the younger generation, teenagers, don’t seem to care. Very discouraging for us who are doing our part. Thanks for your reports & photos.

Rare trbarton Posted August 20, 2020 #308 Share Posted August 20, 2020 On 7/28/2020 at 7:56 AM, Miaminice said: Masks: I can answer the question about masks by posting a translation of the onboard policy: In addition, we temporarily adjust all processes in the guest and crew area to comply with distance and hygiene rules. All guests and crew members are required to keep a mutual safety distance of at least 1.5 meters in the public areas of the ship. Wherever this distance cannot be maintained, we ask to wear a mouth-nose mask for mutual protection. This applies, for example, to elevators, stairwells and cabin corridors. In some cases you will also find structural changes such as plexiglass displays or marked walkways. There´s also a video about the first cruise on the cruise lines website. While you might not undertstand much of the narration, I think the images explain and underline a few things I am sure Germancruiser will write about. https://www.tuicruises.com/blauereisen Is there a way to translate the site into English? Thanks for the information. Tom😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom😀 On board the MS2 on my blue journey there seemed to be no problems with people not wearing mask. When the congreation up on deck- while watching the " Fleetmeeting" with 4 other ships of TUI - built up- security walked the decks and reminded passengers to please wear their masks because of the many people now joining in for the " Fleetmeet"! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I did not like of this wonderful juice bar ( fresh made from fresh fruits) was the location. In the atrium- inside- no view. I do not like bars and lounges which are located indoors, without windows at all. Ship for me means- see the sea- feel the sea....! I do feel the sea after a night of imbibing... LOL If I close my eyes or open them at any point during the drinking session, I would be able to see the sea, too... LOL bon voyage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also know that TUI offer good quality. We’ll get passed the point of an all German cruise. It’s either that or no cruise 😁 We never had a bad cruise or a bad vacation. And this will not be the first one! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Cruiser- thanks a lot. I like the dry dock comment- great to keep in good humor. I was in " dry dock" for more than a year- so when TUI came up with the cruises to nowhere- I thought i might try an all German ship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price for the test is included in the cruise fare! So I am the first in my family to get tested. LOL, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Germancruiser Posted August 22, 2020 Author #321 Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) A friend just sent me a video of the very cabin I booked- I knew the cabin had a huge balcony- but looking at the video- I can´t wait to board. It might be a bit cool in the Fjords in October - but nice to have- LOL. Edited August 22, 2020 by Germancruiser 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
