Mehroswitha Posted July 15, 2021 #1277 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Jupiter, July 13 sailing Vigur Island today was a great trip! Many puffins, eider ducks, and other water birds—including a fluffy baby (unknown variety) in the grass right next to the trail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never got delivered anything, including our negative covid tests, that last night, Had to go down to guest services at 10 pm. Maybe our room steward fell asleep. Too bad. It would have made a nice addition to our couple of equator crossing certificates and the one for crossing the international date line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been, but just a comment/question: Which fjord, the one with Akureyri, or any? I don't know, but at least you go back out the way you came. Therefore, unless dinner and a show or whatever gets in the way, with those very long days, you'll be able to see the fjord on the way out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did see puffins on Heimaey from the boat tour but it was windy and rainy and hard to see them well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trhattan Posted July 16, 2021 #1289 Share Posted July 16, 2021 11 hours ago, travelinjones said: We took this excursion in Heimaey on while on the July 3 sailing. (By the way, once onboard, we received a notice that this optional excursion originally marketed as an "extension" has been converted to a 3.5 hour tour that covered both the included tour and this Eldfell Mountain Hike.) Friday, July 9th --the day we visited Heimaey Island -- was the only bad weather day of our cruise. It was raining, cold and very foggy, so we could see nothing on the hike, even the part before going up the mountain. We had a great guide, who kept a small group of us going by saying "only 10 more minutes," while others dropped out at various parts of the tour and headed to the museum portion of the tour or back to the ship. To answer your question, I would consider the "climbing up the mountain" part of the tour very strenuous, but that was in part due to the weather and fog that made it difficult to see more than a few feet in front of you, and we were rain-soaked. At the very top, we took turns reaching into the "hole" in the picture, where you can feel the volcanic heat, and where the locals often bake bread to show the heat. Thanks for the report. Now the excursion makes sense. I hope we have better weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc who loves to travel Posted July 16, 2021 #1291 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I can’t tell if my under armour post went through. Hope it’s not repetitive. Another tip…we waterproofed a lot of stuff with this stuff. I think it helped. We bought two cans. Sprayed shoes jackets for example. https://amzn.to/2VThzsp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMD Posted July 16, 2021 #1292 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Currently on Jupiter in Akureyri. Got here at 8:00 and 2 hours later we are all still stuck on ship. It sounds like the local police don’t want us getting off even though we were precleared by Icelandic government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minka34 Posted July 16, 2021 #1293 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Should include that there is no covid on board Jupiter, as far as I know. (repeating what I posted on Clay's covid thread.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minka34 Posted July 16, 2021 #1294 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Tour busses just left empty. There was an ambulance that just left, not sure if empty, but there were nurses leaving in a vehicle after stuffing their garb into bins before gettingin their vehicle ... I don't think we are getting off the ship, but who knows... maybe a shuttle bus if there wasn't a case on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minka34 Posted July 16, 2021 #1295 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Captain is saying that the authorities came aboard just to check protocols... still hoping to let us off the ship! Yay! There is hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoggyEthan Posted July 16, 2021 #1296 Share Posted July 16, 2021 More specifically, on the Jupiter the local authorities came onboard to perform a random sampling of guests to take PCR tests, and we're waiting on the results. Which kinda implies to me that someone tested positive, but truly we don't know. It's odd that no one official is commenting on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minka34 Posted July 16, 2021 #1297 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Just read on another site, and apparently confirmed by a crew member, that the ambulance outside of Jupiter this morning was for a passenger that slipped, fell, and broke a hip. Bummer for that person, what a sad thing to have happen, especially on vacation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
