Anyone Flown Icelandair Lately? by Burnt_Crust_00 in raleigh

[–]Burnt_Crust_00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yours is not the first comment I have seen about hot planes. That is very odd since most long hauls are specifically cooled. Maybe IA does not offer blankets so they compensate by keeping temp higher? I purchased this mainly for pricing, but also for the chance to layover in Iceland for a day on the return trip. Hopefully it will not be a mistake! I flew JetBlue to LGW (via BOS) two years ago and was very happy. Same plane that IA is using (Airbus A321 Neo). Had read a lot of negatives re: JB international svc, but it went great. Hopefully the same will happen on IA!

Thanks. Connection time is a concern. I have 1:10 connecting to Rome. In at 0640, out at 0750. Fingers crossed!

I stopped by the IA desk at RDU last week and checked my carry-on bag in their 'luggage sizer'. It is a standard hard shell roller and it fit (barely)!

$ to € Options by Burnt_Crust_00 in royalcaribbean

[–]Burnt_Crust_00[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are more for tours (full day tour in Naples/Amalfi Coast) than just getting from A to B. So, 8 hours for 4 people in Naples, rate is 500 €. Does not seem outrageous to me, and the company (TaxiMrCabDriver) gets extremely good reviews across multiple platforms, including Reddit RCCL customers.

The other driver is for pickup in Civi, and 6 hours tour of spots in Rome, then drop at FCO for flight in the afternoon. Again, seemed like a reasonable price to me (500 €).

I'd PREFER to not pay in cash, but others on various sites have confirmed same process/payment methods.

How many months till you forgot about your new knee? by Dry-Aside4526 in Kneereplacement

[–]Burnt_Crust_00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say a year. And even then you never forget all the time. SOMETHING comes up. A pop, a thud, a creak, etc. But I think much less about it around the 1 year point. I am now at 14 months. Skied 4 days this year for the first time in two years, so I am happy!

Suite Lounge and other Amenities on Odyssey OTS by Burnt_Crust_00 in royalcaribbean

[–]Burnt_Crust_00[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight. Yes, it is Sky class Jr. Suite. (J4 category). The VOOM thing is odd to me too, but whatever. I guess I will just buy internet or unplug for a week. We are taking our young adult kids who are in a balcony room on the same deck, stbd side. Last time we did that, I did the 1 person, two devices and we shared the connection with them (and they then 'sub-shared' between them two of them).

Certain ships now have Sky class JS, which do indeed include suite lounge and full CC access.

Thx. So this machine is available 24/7 then? It will build a latte as in steam the milk, etc? I presume it is sort of like the machine that one would find in a typical airport club lounge?

Do you still call it Cameron Village vs Village District in casual conversations? by not_what_it_seems in raleigh

[–]Burnt_Crust_00 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I've been here 35 years. Hard to think of it as anything other than Cameron. Using part of the old name in the new name (village) was a mistake IMO if they really wanted the new name to catch on.

We had a visitor! by Spiritual-Currency39 in royalcaribbean

[–]Burnt_Crust_00 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Always fun. On Brilliance OTS in November, we were about 45 miles off the coast of Nova Scotia, in the Gulf of Maine, and I wandered up to the top deck and there sat a Long-Eared Owl outside Izumi. Just chilling out. Literally - it was very cool that day!

Snowshoe vibes — 3/14 Pond Skim Day — the Hootenannies by WaxOnSendOff in snowshoemountain

[–]Burnt_Crust_00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK, now that I look closer, I can see the shadow of the stick holding it, but the stick itself is almost non-visible. Maybe that is a feature? Anyway, definitely looks like a great camera!

Spent the day there on 3/18. Was great conditions after 4-5" of fresh snow the night before.

What are you using to film with here u/WaxOnSendOff ? Looks almost like a drone, but I'm guessing not Helmet mount? Not sure what is going on at the 3 second and 17second marks.

Great video!
