Could there be another Iclandic port added as a substitute for the two you’re missing? How was your Princess British Isles cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I need to reserve Alfredo’s or just show up? Alfredo’s is walk up and they will sit you. Depending on time, there might be a line. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare laudergayle Posted July 11 #504 Share Posted July 11 26 minutes ago, YVRteacher said: We can still say YOLO and have it be cool! I have some ideas for the design… I’ve been reading and they won’t do the traditional Inuit tattooing (poke and stick method) on a non-Inuit person. They also only take cash so I would need to get some Danish kr. Hmmm. Interesting intel. Insightful. Sooo much to learn…continuously. Perhaps this is not the trip to brand your adventure, The best news is…you are still a “youngster”…with so much adventure and experience ahead🥰. Counting on you! Pls share design inspiration ❤️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have so many images in my head about this. Please do it. For research purposes. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ceilidh1 Posted July 11 #506 Share Posted July 11 Also, I LOVED the production show "On The Bayou" (I believe only Island has this show? And maybe Coral?) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is my favorite - by far - production show I've seen on over 30 Princess cruises. On the Bayou was created specifically for the two level (decks 6 and 7 aft) Universe Lounge of the Coral and Island Princesses. It is a spectacular stage set up on the Coral and was on the Island until Princess decide to chop up the aft portion of the ship and add new cabins across the rear of the Island. Now On the Bayou is performed in the Island's theater. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare YVRteacher Posted July 11 Author #509 Share Posted July 11 Good morning from somewhere in the Atlantic. I’m so grateful for this window. As you can see, the views are stunning and are affording me hours of entertainment as I take in the magnificent vistas. 1 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruiseny4life Posted July 11 #510 Share Posted July 11 12 hours ago, YVRteacher said: Official notice. Has anyone been to Nuuk? Any recommendations? I'm so sorry about your missed ports. I do have to say that is such a refreshing letter from the captain advising you of what is happening and why. Thanks for posting. Wishing you all the best! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed 😊 just sit back and go with the flow. We continued to bake in a heat wave here in the U.S. Here's a little more "guidance" of what's ahead ... Possibly passing the HAL ship heading towards the Princess from a far distance, sea state will gradually transition to a bit choppy toward the weekend. @Jimesopus is good with his graphics. Wishing you wonderful days at sea with working satellite WiFi. What's the drink of this foggy morning ? Cheers 🥂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecslady Posted July 11 #512 Share Posted July 11 14 hours ago, YVRteacher said: Has anyone been to Nuuk? Any recommendations? Sorry that you are missing Q & N. I did a Greenland cruise this past September on Royal Caribbean and visited all 3 ports. I traveled solo and felt very safe exploring on my own. Q & N are very quaint little towns. For Nuuk, it is a city so to speak. The ship/town provided a shuttle to the center. Take it. I think they charged $20. It really isn't safe to walk into the center of town among the winding roads and commercial area. Once there, it is very easy to navigate around and see things. There's the Hans Egede Statue on top of the hill, the Greenland National Museum with a small entrance fee, a lot of street art, stop in some meat markets and see the fresh reindeer and other various places to wander among the houses. Stop in a grocery store, talk to some locals. They are very friendly. And, of course don't forget to buy a tupilak carving to take home. It was a really nice day. Hope you have good weather. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare YVRteacher Posted July 11 Author #515 Share Posted July 11 Watercolors in the Plaza: Speed Painting this morning was fun and as colourful as the houses we are not going to see in Nanortalik The entertainment staff were having a hard time getting it set up and saying that they had only been given 15 minutes in between activities to get the tables and supplies ready. A bunch of us joined in and we worked together to make it happen. There were 21 painters and we each started with a paper. Every minute our watercolour papers were passed to the left, meaning all 21 people added their skill and talent (or lack thereof) to each painting. I started out with traditional Inuit tattoo designs on my paper and this is the final product. The prompt was to paint what we imagined Greenland would look like. The man two seats down from me needs to take a geology class because he added a volcano to every paper. After speed painting we had time for open painting. It was a tough choice this morning, deciding between the Enrichment session with the ice pilots or painting. Do you think the ice pilot presentation in the theatre was recorded to be shown later on the tv? Does Princess do that? 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare YVRteacher Posted July 11 Author #517 Share Posted July 11 As I wait for my pizza in Alfredo’s (Sabatini’s) I’m chatting with the lady next to me. She attended the ice pilot presentation this morning and is sharing that to begin the captain and two officers came on stage. The captain explained why we can’t access the planned ports in Greenland then asked the full theatre audience if they were mad. People said no, they understood. The captain then told the two accompanying officers they could go! 1 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen presentations like the ice pilot presentation you missed show up on stateroom tv. Check for it there later that day or the following day. Recordings from a number of games they play in Princes Live theater will also show up on Stateroom TV (i.e. Marriage match game, Yes/No game). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare YVRteacher Posted July 11 Author #519 Share Posted July 11 @mking8288 I feel like we didn’t cover much distance between leaving St. Anthony and now. Am I mistaken? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare YVRteacher Posted July 11 Author #521 Share Posted July 11 Lunch (I skipped breakfast) I ordered Pizza Margherita with pineapple but the waiter came back and said the pineapple isn’t ripe yet. I added mushrooms instead. Look at this ooey gooey goodness! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ceilidh1 Posted July 11 #522 Share Posted July 11 Alfredo’s is my ride or die! Except my go-to has now gone (not that you would care as it’s about as meat focused as you can get). They had the best veal filled pasta pouches ever (I know there’s a proper name for them but you get the gist). I also love their veggie pizza with the avocado….yum yum yum 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ceilidh1 Posted July 11 #523 Share Posted July 11 Everyone raves about the Tiramisu. For me, that is the most disappointing dessert ever (in general, not Alfredo’s-never tried it there). Such a waste of calories 🤣🤣 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare YVRteacher Posted July 11 Author #524 Share Posted July 11 Three things that are driving me nuts on this ship: 1. The women doused in perfume. It’s deadly. 2. People who order unsweetened ice tea then sit there for the next 14 minutes stirring and clinking stirring and clinking stirring and clinking with no regard for other people who may not want a meal with a side of stirring and clinking 3. The Mahjong players in Horizon Court. They take up the tables with the best views and bash the tiles about with no regard for diners who do not want a meal with a side of tile bashing 12 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare YVRteacher Posted July 11 Author #525 Share Posted July 11 @ceilidh1 I am just about to try the tiramisu. It is not my favourite dessert (too mushy) but I will try it. For research. 8 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
