MikeTheNFT Posted May 20, 2022 #476 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Have you all noticed any lack of staff? I just saw that shore leave on the Ovation was just cancelled again due to a high number of Covid cases among the crew, so they're not allowed to leave the ship on port days.

I see what you did there. 🤣 I'd also love to have you cover Seattle. We'll be there for a couple of days before our September cruise. Still finalizing what we'll do but a Pike Place food tour is definitely on the short list. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did some but very little adjustments in the editor. When I saw the results I thought I need to make sure OB sees them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is our 3rd cruise since start up. On the other 2 we had ports canceled and "ghost ships" meeting at at ports to unload sick crew while we were sailing at half capacity. We were at almost full capacity on this ship. There were NO indication of a problem and our waiter told us about getting off the ship at port. This is what is actually happening on board. The only thing that was making people sick was the sea 2 days ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was missed when mentioning at Skagway Brewing Co. I like throwing things like that just for the Halibut. 😆 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ozark_Kid Posted May 20, 2022 Author #487 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I am so thankful we are not flying out today. A passenger on the shared that her flight was canceled. She said all flights to Denver were canceled. I would hate to deal with canceled flights again. We will see how Sunday goes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ozark_Kid Posted May 20, 2022 Author #489 Share Posted May 20, 2022 As we were disembarking I saw a long line in front of us. As we got there we found the long line was for those who need an elevator. If an escalator is fine, stay left 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pictures are getting me excited for my cruise on Ovation to Alaska in August. The Ovation looks like it will keep the teenage boys well occupied! I do have one question. I want to get an ulu (knife) in Alaska. Are you able to bring them back on the ship? I heard some cruises take them and you get a receipt to get it back at the end of the cruise and others are not allowing them and require you to have it shipped home before you board. I bought one and literally forgot it was in my bag. Went through the scanner and was asked if I had a knife. My tired brain replied that I don’t have a knife ( was thinking weapon type knife). She then asked if I bought an ulu, I started laughing and said YES! She let it through and just said to keep it in my room. I assured her that I had no intention of cooking on this cruise. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
