Rare photosg Posted October 23, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Surprise! I’m still onboard. What a difference doing a back to back makes. No check-in anxiety, no worries about covid testing or declarations. No waiting to get onboard the ship. (And of course no one is doing laundry today!) Thanks cruise critic posters, we are now officially addicted to the duck in the Golden Lion. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks as if your sail away will be through a thunderstorm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Victoria2 Posted October 23, 2022 #5 Share Posted October 23, 2022 It's great when in port and there aren't many passengers staying on board. Your scenario is even better, Looking forward to further posts from you. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techteach Posted October 23, 2022 #8 Share Posted October 23, 2022 @Host Hattie There be bears there! 46 days until I’m onboard. Lunch may have to wait until I have a bear in hand. What’s with the dogs? Thank you @photosg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfred Posted October 23, 2022 #9 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Happy to see that Ursus Cunardus have made a return! I hope they will be on QM2 next week. @photosg, did you happen to get a photo of your Romsdalsfjord cruise-by during your Norway segment? It is an unseen cruise-by in the "Where in the World" game. Best wishes for the rest of your voyage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was descripted in the latest copy of the Cunarder magazine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Victoria2 Posted October 24, 2022 #11 Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) Oh darn it. I didn't see The Captain when I gave the shops the once over. He would have been a great reminder of happy days. Grrrr, or grrrrrrowl! That Ursus looks more Canis Familiaris to my mind too. Still cute though. *Luckily, I have just remembered I have friends who have still to sail on Victoria this year. I will arrange a purchase. Phew. 🙂 Edited October 24, 2022 by Victoria2 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best wishes for the rest of your voyage! There’s a post of us leaving Andalsnes at sunset. Then the sun set so there wasn’t much to see/photograph on the way out of the fjord. The “Romsdalsfjord cruise-by” was just the sail out of Andalsnes in the dark. (Or twilight if you were inclined to be charitable.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare photosg Posted October 27, 2022 Author #16 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Oops. I blame the spotty internet but the reality is we’ve had busy days. Crossing the bay of biscay was only a bit bumpy over night. It was mostly sunny and relatively flat. lunch at the aft in Britannia. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare photosg Posted October 30, 2022 Author #25 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Santander on Thursday was a Maiden Call. We didn’t do any ships tours but caught a little ferry boat to little towns. A little more sunshine would have been nice but as it was it was the warmest day we had on the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
