How are medical emergencies handled? The ship has a physician and 2 nurses. Last night when we were off the coast of Costa Rica about 50 miles north of Puntarenas we noticed one of the ship'sRead more

Anther sea day. Looking for birds, sea mammals and fish. I personally saw brown boobies, a few Nazca boobies and occasional flying fish. Others allege they are seeing dolfins and whales.

Martha Sleutel You could post a picture.... Your meals, the ship, your views, what you are doing.... I think you might have a lot of sea days!!!! 😀

We are paralling the Mexican coast with a bit of a north wind but smooth waters. I had another go at bridge-- learning a bit about bidding--but I think it will be more fun to stay a beginner forever.Read more

Here we are at Land's End where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean otherwise known as Cabo San Lucas. Archeology remains indicate human habitation 10,000 years ago. In the early 1800s thereRead more
Traveler Great shot of the breaching humpback. I once spent 5 days whale watching in Baja and not once did I see one breach like that. Of course we were watching gray whales which migrate from the arctic to Baja each year to calve and to mate. Perhaps they are not paid by the locals to perform! We also had a marvelous time scuba diving with the sea lions while we were there. TTFN

Wow! It's about 10 degrees colder--all the way down to 68 but with a north wind. The seas are a little rougher so it's rock and roll as we make our way to Los Angeles. We had great entertainment withRead more

It's a bit rougher and colder. Even though it is only 68 degrees the ship is moving at 15 knots creating a north wind.
I saw a flock of Sabine's gulls. They looked like little white specks but theRead more

Major port stop. About a third of the passengers disembared and the ship filled with those going around the world. Also the enrichment lecturers changed.
We connected with Ed Byrne, a friend of oursRead more
Martha Sleutel Nice! You will miss our "deep freeze" where we see if Abbott and the TX legislature figured out how to keep the lights on in the state. It's great that your lecturers change out. I wondered how they could be experts in so many different areas. Now we know - you get new experts for each location.

We sailed about 90 miles north to Santa Barbara. What a beautiful town! Unfortunately the citizens have decided they don't want those air polluting cruise ships. Since there are no berths the shipsRead more

What do we do on sea days? I thought they would be leisurely so I downloaded lots of books. But I found there was so much activity on the ship that I haven't read any of them. There are enrichmentRead more

Today I'll focus on one of the art offerings. Viking has digital rights to the paintings of Munch (most famous painting is "The Scream"). The ship has a huge screen in its 30 foot high atrium. FourRead more
Martha Sleutel I've never liked "The Scream" but I really like the other pieces you showed. I never thought about any of his other works. Glad you are so busy!
Traveler Jane, looks like your bird watching is coming along splendidly. I noted your latest post was listed as day 12. How long is the cruise supposed to last and about when will you be back home?
