You’ll see all the areas guest are not allowed to venture. This tour is typically one sea day and typically cost a little over $100 per person.

    The emeralds are real. They are very clear, they are perfectly colored, and they are large. They are indeed worth a fortune. The royal guard does have fancy uniforms. They don't wear them at Rosenborg. They wear them when guarding the places where the royal family lives. And unlike those in London, their rifles are loaded even when they wear their fancy uniforms.

    Many thanks for putting together this incredible series. I’ve enjoyed every one of them and you’ve given me a great idea of what to expect on my cruise in December. Like you, I also received a free inside stateroom offer for the Dec 15 2024 sailing. I thought it was a scam even after calling HAL so I went to CAA (the Canadian equivalent of AAA) and purchased the cruise through their travel agent. I don’t gamble either (except for joining group slot games). The offer came in an email as well. My cost for a balcony on deck 5 mid ship including taxes, fees, single supplement and Cancel for any reason platinum plan is US $3039! A deal of a lifetime for this trip of a lifetime! It looks like I’ll be taking the same excursion in BA because our tour takes us to Eva Peron’s grave.

    I’m now a bit worried about my arrival in Buenos Aires. I’m supposed to arrive just after midnight Dec 14 and I’m supposed to stay at an airport hotel that is 5 minutes from the airport. The hotel offers a 24/7 shuttle so I’ll take it and hope I won’t be mugged outside the airport while waiting for the shuttle. I’m uneasy about taking a taxi or Uber at that time of morning as I’ll be on my own. Embarkation is on Dec 15 and I’ve purchased a transfer with HAL but I’ll have to return to the airport to get on the transfer. I’ll be staying at that hotel and not venturing out for walks the day before embarkation. Thanks for sharing this very important safety tip.

      I'm guessing the salt in the food causes the swelling. You should try drinking more water than usual to keep it down. Jellyfish were everywhere here. The most I've ever seen.

    Great video Scott! I haven’t been to Victoria so it was very interesting. So cool to see an otter on land doing his business!! I never would have thought they do it on land! The pedicab ride was fun. How much did it cost? I’d love to do that. Looking forward to your next series from Europe. My, you sure do travel a lot!!

      The pedi cab was $80, but we gave him $120…he was excellent. We travel as much as possible. I typically have 7 weeks of vacation, but this year I have 13 weeks to prevent getting work fatigue.

    Enjoyable video Scott. I have the Sea Lion island excursion for this port but after watching your video I’m thinking of changing it to the city and museum tour as there are lots of sea lions at the pier, it looks like. Thanks for sharing!

    • @LetsJustGoThere
      @LetsJustGoThere 4 місяці тому

      There are a few Sea Lions at the port, but for about $40 you can purchase a tour at the end of the pier to Punta Loma. They have a lot of Sea Lions there.

    I enjoyed this video very much. The salute to veterans is moving. Does RC have this everyday on every cruise? The escargot looks different from the one I got on HAL. They served them on a little egg crate dish. And why did the clinic have a green cross and not a Red Cross?

      They've have the salute to veterans on every sailing. The escargot are covered in cheese and garlic...The Red Cross is patented, where the green cross is not.

    Another great and enjoyable video Scott. This brings back memories of my Alaska cruise last summer and I also did the Mendenhall glacier though I didn’t walk to the waterfalls. I didn’t see as many eagles ether but enjoyed watching the eagles in your video. Thanks for sharing.

      Thanks for sharing this video, Scott. I enjoyed it very much and I also love listening to your voice and the things you say. You’re incredibly detailed (are you a teacher?) and hilarious at the same time. You look cute with the crown on your head! I loved how you showed the train toilet flushing. 😅 I took this train ride about 15 years ago but it took us up to the Yukon and even though it was August, there was still snow on the ground! Last year I was also up in Alaska on a cruise and I took another train ride in Skagway but it was much shorter. It didn’t go up to Canada but the scenery was breathtaking.

    Loved this video, Scott. It’s wonderful that they create a sanctuary for those naughty bears and then turn it into a tourist attraction. I wish they would do that everywhere. The raptor Center was lovely. I love raptors. And the pianist is awesome!!! Looking forward to the next video. I have done two Alaska cruises but Sitka wasn’t one of the ports.

    Fun video, Scott. The band sure sounded mournful in practice 😅. The bumper cars .. 😂 .. I felt a bit tipsy watching you guys in the cars with the Rocky ocean! Love the robot waiters. I’d buy a drink just to watch them in action. Thanks for sharing this video. I did an Alaska cruise last summer with HAL so this is interesting.
