Sailing Shoes

Baked Alaska. Pinnacle Grill.

Wondering if the port fees are less than in Stavanger, allowing HAL to pocket the difference?

If they really want to start gouging they should offer early boarding for a fee. $50 gets you in the first group, $35 in the next group and so on. 

Preparing to leave St. Marten we went up to the top deck to watch for pier runners and the departure. One of RCCL’s Monster of the Seas was on the other side of the pier. There was loud music and the party was clearly going well over there. After a few minutes we noticed others on our ship pointing and laughing. A man had stumbled out onto his balcony and ended up laying on the deck, naked! Shortly there after a woman emerged, looked at all of us and became quite flustered. She grabbed a sheet to cover him and was finally able to drag him back into the cabin. Glad I didn’t have his hangover the next day. Made for a memorable sail away 😀

When my daughter graduated from high school I took her on her first cruise. At one of the ports we had our picture taken with the ship in the background. As we were setting up the photographer asked if we were honeymooners. My daughter could have died!! Eleven years later we’re about to cruise again and she shows up on the confirmation as “Mrs”. She’s single. I’m laughing again 😀

You don’t have to tell them about it 🙂

Boarded Le Soleal yesterday and was pleased to learn that as Jan 2019 WiFi is free on Ponant!
