Not good. Do you have a feeling why things have been canceled?

everyone is hiring there and they cannot get the staff up there to man the excursions. No one wants temp work and that is all that is there.

The original Victoria one for DH was cancelled because they thought the ship arrived too late. I do too. 5 pm
Mine was a bus tour of the city and tea. That was cancelled yesterday. Not sure why.
Icy Strait Point and the glacier viewing were cancelled. Added Ketchikan and and earlier arrival in Juneau. DH salmon bake was moved from dinner to lunch. Which is fine.
Our first Skagway one one was town tour and sled dogs. Cancelled a couple weeks ago. We took the tour to the Summit. That was cancelled today. Nothing is listed at all anymore for Skagway so not sure what is going on with that.

We did this exact same cruise and ship in June and everything was fine.
We're very familiar with all these places, so walking them will work, just so annoying.

on my inside passage back in May, the excursions were being canceled up until the night before and nothing was open to take, it was very frustrating. The people are just not there for the work.

Oh, well that’s a reason. My sister was in Norway on a cruise…one guide only spoke German! It was beautiful scenery, but they sorely needed a better guide.

Got another update. They are cancelling Skagway due to forecast of high winds. Back to going to Icy Straight Point. Not my favorite. Not much to do.

 

[bobbiwoz]

I agree about Icy Point Strait, not much to do. However, I bought a favorite hair barrette there.

That is what we do there.....shop. Like the building with the local vendors.
The kids liked playing on the beach.....even though it is just rocks.
I loaded a lot of books and movies on my tablet so I am set. And we have a nice room.

Sounds great!
i think we did see one whale by the water when we were eating in the restaurant.

Family lunch today.
Before that we are getting our Covid test done.
After lunch we are getting our flu shots.

Yes he is oxycodone.
He says the pain is worse as he stands, once he’s up things are manageable. He’s walking around house a bit more.

Very good. Health evaluator came yesterday…Tom got up and down from recliner to standing 5 times in 30 seconds.

Last night my sister, her daughter and I went to Piermont, NY for dinner at Pier 701. It's right on the water, overlooking the Hudson River - what a quaint little village!

 

[kimmar067]

....and this is the Tappan Zee Bridge...

WOW! That's awesome!

We forgot to put the bars up for him. Duh…we had to pay the handyman. It really was something Tom could have done before surgery.

No, unused by him as of yet! More than you need to know, I am sure.

....I like my explanation better.....

 

[bobbiwoz]

WE call it that because we cannot STAND Cuomo....we refuse to call it by 'his' name...how presumptuous of him to name it after himself!

Mario was a cad too? I just know about Andrew.
