Bringing Instruments - Guitar for Example
SalthMate replied to Maleficent's Dad's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Thanks @ChiefMateJRK. Ah yes, Ally The Piper; I'd gladly listen to her play her bagpipes onboard. Now, some other passenger brings and plays a guitar (or ukulele), I'm afraid I'd have to go Belushi on 'em. 🐀 -
I have to strongly agree with @ChiefMateJRKhere.

I'll let @Sailing12Awayanswer the Food Republic question. As far as other cruise ships here in St. John with us today - only the Carnival Magic. Security only used the facial recognition once and it seemed to work o.k. (slight delay getting the camera lined up on your face). All other times, they have been using our ship card. Yes, we got a notice that we will be going through CBP (Immigration) tomorrow afternoon (12:30 pm) after we arrive in Portland, ME (1st U.S. port). -

I have Xfinity Mobile. And, I am signed up with an International calling plan that kicks in when I'm off the ship in a foreign port. In the Canadian ports, the signal has been fine. -

I'm not sure about The District today. I'm keeping it "low key" today with my sore throat situation, so I'm staying in my suite. @Sailing12Away will probably have the answer. -

Yes! That Canadian tour guide was a character (retired Canadian Navy 1st class PO); big & burly with a big ol' beard, wearing a kilt. We should've got a picture of him. -

Saw J. Dawson's grave (tombstone) at the Titanic cemetary. I didn't even know Leonardo DiCaprio (Jack Dawson) was dead; https://photos.app.goo.gl/RUfVzKAwy66HSn7R6 -

Thanks @Sailing12Away. Still moving at "dead slow ahead" <- ( ship term. I am a salty 🐀 ) after my last morning nap. Per my text, I'll meet up with you at our shore excursion meeting time (12:20 pm) & place (inside the terminal). But, thanks for the shout out & invite. See you 🐀's soon. -

Nice! I lived in Atascocita (not too far from The Woodlands). When I retired, I moved back up to Michigan (I'm an original Michigander). Got tired of the heat & humidity of those Texas (Houston) summers. To handle the Michigan winters, I fly to Florida ports and cruise! -

Coming off airplane mode @Sailing12Away, so I can read your text. I'll probably meet up with you at the shore excursion meeting place at the meet up time (12:20 pm). Took another morning nap, lol. -

@ggTexasGal- what part of Texas are you in? I spent my whole career in Houston and also graduated from Texas A&M at Galveston (as you can tell from my CC emoji). I can't believe we (Aggies) lost to Appalachian State at home! Good bye to the #6 in the nation ranking... -

Good Sunday morning from Halifax, N.S., Canada! Thanks for posting the arrival pics @Sailing12Away. I think Kyle, her parents , James & myself are all on the same shore excursion today in Halifax. But, meet up time is not until 12:20 pm. I think I've topped @gadave's routine of keeping the balcony door open to let in that fresh sea air while underway. Every morning, I bring my blanket & pillow and take a morning nap on my balcony lounger (my balcony is extra large - it has a full lounger plus 2 chairs & a cocktail table). As I'm taking my morning nap, we have been making arrival in these Candian ports. The railing for the balcony is strong plexiglass, so you can see through it which allows me to see as I lay down fully reclined. Eat your 🐀 heart out @gadave. I'm only teasing @gadave - thanks to following his upgrade bidding strategy, I was able to snag my current Haven Penthouse Suite! -

And...just the fact that I was at The Haven Bar later last night was upping my drinking game. Still no where near James' game; that 🐀's a beast! -

Normal ops. The Canadian pilot, Joy's Captain and deck officer on watch docking & tying up the ship in the port of Sydney. From my balcony, I had this bird's eye view into the navigation bridge wing (port side). -

Bro...once you go Haven, you never go back. I can attest to that personally. Actually, I got upgraded to my Haven Penthouse Suite. But - I did the @gadavemethod of bidding a made a substantial bid and got it!. Also bro, be careful using the 🐀 word or you may have to come up with yet another CC persona. -

I'm not sure, as I haven't been off the ship (yet). Disembarking for a shore excursion (with @Sailing12Awayin 25 minutes. I will be sure to look at the leaves and let you know.
