Well, that’s encouraging. Let’s hope. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare erewhon Posted December 6, 2019 #177 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Thanks for all your reports and photos. The room flowers are pretty, an improvement on what we have previously been given in the stateroom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeniEncinitas Posted December 6, 2019 #178 Share Posted December 6, 2019 The pictures are wonderful!!! Good photo of the arches. I love art and I love drawing each port that we come to in my journal. Was in Cabo 2018. Wouldn’t it be great to get a bucket of beers on HAL for $10.00 LOL! Love that photo you took. Now weather report from Hubby! Saturday 40% chance of rain 🌧 and Sunday 50% chance of ☔️! Sorry canadianbear 😞 He did say that that can change again but that is what it shows for our weather. Sunny today and for Friday! Hope it fizzles out for you! Denise😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet they’re cuddly cute. Thank you for the beautiful pictures! We live on West Coast & them in Quebec so will be a month or two before we see them again. I hopefully bought big enough they’ll fit in summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds nice and you’re talented enough to draw. Great memories in your journal. Excited for Cabo next week as meeting a friend that’s on the NCL Joy there. She lives in the US so this is very special for us to see each other. Bucket of beers in order! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can walk past the Midway very close and go to FISH MARKET ON THE WARF. Very good seafood and drinks. Both would be nice for you!

canadianbear Posted December 6, 2019 Author #186 Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) I swear this ship is half empty sometimes. We went for dinner at the MDR for gala night at 6pm. No line up anywhere-so unusual. They seated us upstairs at a nice table for 2. Service was great. Hubby had surf only, I had surf and turf-meat was not as tender as usual. Tiramisu and chocolate sundae for dessert. We also found another treat tonight when we returned to the cabin (I didn’t eat these ones yet like I gobbled down the last special chocolates on gala night!)

canadianbear Posted December 6, 2019 Author #190 Share Posted December 6, 2019 We have had a couple of very minor issues and our concierge, Leah or Patricia, have dealt with it immediately-they are amazing. Today is the Mariner luncheon and we plan on going. Tonight we have reservations at the Pinnacle again-hoping it’s not another 2 hour dinner 😳 A few photos including the Crow’s Nest/Explorations Cafe area.

canadianbear Posted December 6, 2019 Author #191 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Has anyone seen this amazing LEGO display up in the Crow’s Nest of the Oosterdam? It has over 36,000 LEGO pieces! Apparently built on the ship in April. Hard to get decent close up photos because of the glare but it’s very impressive. Click on the photos and see! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lengthy thread regarding this already as you are aware and involved in, so I would prefer not to be involved at this point during my vacation. Hope you understand. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did mention to the Maitre de today at breakfast in the Pinnacle that we would be back tonight for supper. We asked about the delay the night we were there saying we hoped it would be shorter tonight. Sounds like it was a one off as I don’t recall it happening to us before.

canadianbear Posted December 6, 2019 Author #200 Share Posted December 6, 2019 A few photos of the Gallery Bar. They have lots of board games in the shelves (dark, I couldn’t get a decent photo but it looks like briefcases stacked on the shelf). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
