When and where did they add dining tables to the CS suites on the Solstice class ships?   We had no table on the Silhouette, just a coffee table by the sofa in a very tight living room.   The bedroom fit little more than a bed.    The only nice thing is we had a suite on the slant so we had a large balcony.   The suites on that class of ship are small with no dining table.

Your correct.  After revolution they replaced with a cocktail table that raises to a dining table level. 
 

Thank.  I forgot about it

I love reading all your updates each day. Ollie’s Trolley was a fun tour when we did it. It was nice to be in the open air and Acadia is beautiful. Hope you have a wonderful time. 

We are taking the 4 hour tour.  It gives you 30 minutes at each stop instead of 15 minutes

Maine has the BEST blueberries!  They are small, but delicious!  Be sure to have a blueberry dessert, like blueberry pie…..it’s blueberry season there in August!  There should still be plenty.  West side cafe makes a good blueberry pie! 

 

I second the shore path walk, to the left as you exit the tender pier, if you have any time left over…..beautiful seaside mansions and homes looking out to Frenchman’s Bay.  Have fun in beautiful Bar Harbor….a place near and dear to my heart!  If you are adventurous or just a glutton for punishment, try the lobster ice cream at the Chocolate Emporium.

Will give a try.

Sadly I think they are Massachusetts numbers.😢Almost 2,300 died here last year.

It is really a tragedy.

I remember seeing Ollie's Trolly when my husband/I visited Bar Harbor/Acadia over the years.  I hope you'll have beautiful weather.  The view from Cadillac Mtn. is amazing.  Maine blueberries is out of this world and if you like martinis... must try a blueberry martini/blueberry coffee.  There are plenty of restaurants along Main Street if y'all would like to get a bite to eat/drink. Don't forget lobstah! 🙂  

 

Can't wait to read about your day tomorrow!  

 

 

We have again been given a perfect day.  Just in case we brought puffers. A shop keeper told us it poured yesterday.

I really love seeing your photos!  That tub looks deadly - can't believe there are no grab bars.  Suite is beautiful, though.

We had a friend, Sandy and Joe, that were in The CS on the first cruise.  The brought her a stool to help get in and out. 
 

Sandy. Iain said it’s is probably easier to go from a SS to a CS instead of the reverse like you.

Safe journey.  We had a fast walkout disembarkation.  US CBP was faster that we thought possible.  Staying in Maine for a week just north or Portland.   Wonder if our BnB owner will be doing trivia or cleaning our apartment each day.

If anyone if on Summit on deck 7 say hi to Savio from Susan and Joss

Will miss you.  Have a great stay in Boston.  So much to do.

Thanks. I was wondering where to have room service meals. Balcony has a table too.

Hi Jim,

 

I have been silent since my first post on page 1 post #2.   What are your plans when you visit my Island and Charlottetown? Do you guys have an excursion booked or are you just doing your own thing around my city?  

 

Regards,

Kevin Reid

Question.   I didn't see if it was mentioned previously but did you need to fill out ArrCan again?

I wish you to have a guide that was as passionate as ours when we did this tour in 2015. We really had a great time and a good lunch! Enjoy!

When you get a chance, could you post a picture of the balcony?

Thanks.

Hi Kevin.  I, of course, am not Jim, but will be boarding the Summit a week from Sunday and will get to spend two days in Charlottetown.  Do you have any suggestions in things to do/see, places to go/eat?

I'm so sorry!  No worries and thank you very much for letting me know. Have a good day.

You could try bold and see it there is enough contrast.

Crystal had those table that raised, they were nice.  They were also glass which was both good and bad.

I need to correct -- I just looked at this video.   I must be thinking of a different Cs.   As I recall when in the CS on Silhouette the butler setup breakfast on the cocktail table.   It definitely is  another Kelly Hooper failure

 

Apologies for the sim-information.   Trying to figure which room had the cantilevered cocktail table

It isn’t the biggest but originally the CS didn’t have a balcony and it was added as a retrofit. 
 

It wraps around is equal to 1/2 the width of the glass elevator o. The opposite side of the ship 

 

 

[Jim_Iain]

Our first stop was at the Summit.  Turned out to be a beautiful 75f day. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Jim_Iain]

We had about 5 stops with 1/2 hour at each stop.  Great group and everyone was always on time. 
 

We saw some Wild Turkeys 

 

We t stopped at a rangers station The Wild Gardens of Arcadia

Could it have been the sky suite? I have used one before, but can’t remember which ship. Maybe I’ll try a move up bid for a RS. That will give us a dining table AND a separate shower!
