We did an AC and RCL skipped B for CocoCay. We'll be back someday and include B. Aruba we took the bus the beach and the feedback about the return bus was right, every one was packed and not picking up any passengers. We ended up finding a van headed back to the port for a couple of bucks. Glad to see that your Curacao trip includes the flamingos. Around here, recovering the deductible from the other driver is called minitort. It's an option to have it on your policy to automatically get it, otherwise you have to file for it yourself (small claims).

Might not fit with your touring style, but we really liked Accomplice New York - https://www.accomplicetheshow.com/. It's something different to anything we've done before and it's a lot of fun. Both times we've done we've ended up areas of New York we wouldn't have otherwise gone through.

Notifications are broken again. Worried I'm going to miss your announcement for the next cruise 😞

I think you might need to do it another dozen times to make sure they get the message.

We just got a version of Uno called No Mercy, might be worth looking at to change it up a bit.

Right in the marina, if you want something casual, I'd suggest Sanchos.

The supposed hotel is in Todos Santos which is about an hour north of Cabo.

Looks like you're enjoying the balcony. I can't remember, was this your first sailing with one? I thought all of the others were insides.

That was the first one we did after our Disney phase with the kids and it was our favorite ship so far. Our sample size is much smaller than yours though.

We use a broker named Steve. I'd post the name but I don't know that this board allows us to post any websites.

Subscribed, I like that it's one person trying the different cruise lines because it makes it a bit easier to compare to past trips. Princess was on our list for doing Alaska some day. Any chance you'll do the other lines at some point (e.g., RCL)?

Man, bringing back some memories. We did a roadtrip to Nova Scotia years ago the ferry at that time left Bar Harbor but came back through Portland. We never took the second ferry to St. John and always wished we had. Your cruise looks like a much easier way to hit all these cities!

Subscribed. We got caught up in the whole Magic/Venezia debacle as well and sailed on I think the second sailing. We had to wait months for our cabin assignment and went from our first suite booking, an ocean suite, to a random lower deck junior suite since they re-categorized all of the rooms compared to sister ships like the Magic. When we got a call the day on the drive to NYC I was about to lose it (again), but with this last change they made it right and we ended up a Terrazza balcony on 11. I wasn't sure if we were going to give Carnival another chance after how they handled this whole thing but looking on your pictures it's bringing back the good parts of the vacation and maybe it wasn't as bad as I remember 🙂

He's usually pretty good about posting to his last cruise thread when the new one starts. Just make sure you're subscribed to this one.

You switched cruise lines, the Lions beat the Chiefs, there's something weird going on with the world right now....

I figured you're the type of guy who'd have airtagged it.

I think in Canada they have a larger menu, we sometimes see/hear commercials here for stuff they don't sell in the US. Most everyone I know just gets coffee, my kids like the breakfast sandwiches on bagels. They used to have a jalapeño bagel that I thought was good. Never tried lunch with them.

I hope you're posting these from your connecting flight!

I have no idea where I am, but I'm here for the trip!

I think I saw that you were looking for the ship shaped ornaments? We collect those too. We had to ask, but they had them in the back and not out on display. First one had a broken nose but the second was fine. Had the yellow stack w/blue C and the Carnival Fun Italian Style lettering on the bottom.

We're going there to see a NYCFC game, but after watching a game in Comerica (Detroit), soccer games don't belong in baseball stadiums. I heard there's a really good bucket of chicken we need to find though!

If you're looking for something to eat in Halifax, try and find a donair.

I didn't make any promises that the chips would be good, just that they were Canadian 😁 I'm in Michigan and it's usually what's in my fridge. Interesting find on 1644, isn't it French so it fits in Quebec? I want to go on the party flight! At least you got a warning. I got tired of waiting for a gate checked wheelchair since it was the middle of winter and I didn't have a coat so I went up the bridge to ask about it and got told I couldn't go back down again.

All dressed is another Canadian exclusive (bottom right, second from bottom).

Not sure if you'll find a Tim Horton's but that's a Canadian staple. You should find Labatt Blue on tap somewhere but it's mass produced. Poutine was a once and done for me, but I found it strange that they had fries everywhere including Taco Bell. You can look for ketchup flavored chips too.
