Brentt_M Posted August 3, 2021 Author #326 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I will say the bus to my excursion had 30 people on it and they did a good job with masks while on the bus. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to check the hours for the library to see if they will still be open after our shore excursion. May need to try using my phone's hotspot with my laptop if cell service is strong. Keep us updated on wifi as the week progresses. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my guess. Possible, but I somehow doubt it. They weren’t wearing these N95s on embarkation day, when 1588 people were coming from across the country and possibly world. And they weren’t for the first three hours that people were ashore and returning, the fact that they all changed at about 5:30 (shore trips started at 1) seems suspicious to me.

My wife and I are not attractive people, so we avoid them like vampires avoid mirrors, so I can’t tell you about packages, but there are definitely photographers! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbara I haven't been paying attention to that really, but I know they did the embarkation photos and had photographers around on gala night. Outside of that I don't remember seeing them and I have not looked at any packages, etc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentt_M Posted August 3, 2021 Author #332 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Just watched Magician & Illusionist Joseph Reohm in the main stage. I thought it was a very good performance and he was rather funny. He had my daughter laughing and the general HAL audience at the the ssme time and that is not always the easiest thing to do. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioLair Posted August 3, 2021 #333 Share Posted August 3, 2021 (edited) Hey Brentt (or cruisers) trying to get a peak at Cabin 4045 or 4046 layouts. Can you see if you can get a photo for me? In the planning stages for the next month or so and wanna know what I am getting in to if I request the cabin (its an obstructed balcony cabin that is turned sideways, not the typical long narrow cabin) Thanks Edited August 3, 2021 by OhioLair misspelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nieuw Statendam has the lengthways obstructed cabins 4043/4044/4045/4046 Here is a link to 4045 and 4046 https://halfacts.com/pinnacle-class/4045-koningsdam/ https://halfacts.com/pinnacle-class/4046-koningsdam/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder where they’re keeping her until it’s done. They were nearly done with the new shelter back in July 2019. I hope it's done by now. Great reports, @Brentt_M and @liam1965! Always loved the RDS and stop there every time we are in Juneau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was mostly a joke, neither of us enjoys having photos taken or viewing those photos, even though I’m told we’re relatively attractive (as aging, heavy set people go). Probably a self image thing. But the point of the post was that we have not sought out the photos nor asked the prices. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilty964 Posted August 3, 2021 #346 Share Posted August 3, 2021 (edited) Enjoy Glacier Bay. That day was one of the highlights of our 2019 sea/land adventure! I'd love to go back again! Edited August 3, 2021 by ktbraun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam1965 Posted August 3, 2021 #347 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Lots of otters this morning, and I believe I heard the naturalist say a mother humpback and her calf on the other side of the ship, although I didn’t get to see them. Also, a relatively nice day, quite happy! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam1965 Posted August 3, 2021 #348 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Just saw a large group of white birds (geese?) flying with one puffin among them. I always feel so sorry for the little puffins, they always look like they have to work so hard to stay in the air with the larger, more graceful looking birds! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
