Bxianesq Posted October 18, 2022 #126 Share Posted October 18, 2022 We’ve done our own thing the past 2 days. In Portland, we rented a car and drove up Route 1 to the coastal towns of Damariscotta and Boothbay Harbor. My family use to vacation in Boothbay Harbor when I was a teenager, and my husband and I have done several road trips through MAine. The fall colors were gorgeous even in the mist and rain. For today’s Boston stop, we booked a Boston Pizza Walking Tour in the North End. Did a lot of walking and had 3 slices of pizza and a cannoli. I am stuffed! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfish Posted October 18, 2022 #128 Share Posted October 18, 2022 @richwmn what a mess! Carolyn thought you might have to Uber home from Ft. Lauderdale. Today was a very successful day! @Cruising-alongmanaged to get her haircut, I replenished my supply of allergy meds, we had coffee and cannoli for lunch, toured Paul Revere’s house, and bought cheesy souvenir t-shirts. 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbecker6469 Posted October 18, 2022 #129 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Hi Rich. I have been enjoying reading about your travels. Sorry about the flight issues, and glad you were able to get it resolved. I will be on a B2B Nov 9th to 30th on the Rotterdam to the Southern Caribbean, where I joyfully will be attaining my Free Laundry pin! Sometime in the future I would love to meet you, maybe for lunch, and talk HAL & cruising. I live in Lawrenceville, GA very close to the MOG, and come to Athens for family frequently. You can email me at jimbecker@bellsouth.net to see what we can work out. Have a great rest of your trip and hope we can meet soon. Jim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising-along Posted October 18, 2022 #130 Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) As Debbie @dfishsaid, I’m a happy camper (cruiser) because I managed to get my hair cut today in Boston. No way I could wait another 3 weeks when we’re home again. I wasn’t impressed with the customer service of the ship salon, so wanted to avoid booking with them. A very nice day in Boston today! Sailing away, goodbye Boston! Edited October 18, 2022 by Cruising-along 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusieKIslandGirl Posted October 18, 2022 #131 Share Posted October 18, 2022 @richwmnGood luck with the Delta flight to Atlanta. We booked through Flight Ease from FLL to ATL for the end of our December cruise. So far it's been changed 4 times, getting later and later when we arrive. And we still have a 40 minute drive to DS's house. I finally gave up on that booking, cancelled it and went directly with Delta with a late morning flight. Hopefully it doesn't change too much. Enjoying your reports, thanks! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoying your reports, thanks! These flights were booked directly with Delta. I generally only use Flight Ease for international flights, and those prices are definitely better. The Delta rep this morning was very nice and kept with it even though it took a while. On a side note, I came back to my cabin a few minutes ago to find a tray of Chocolate Covered Strawberries. The note said only 'With our sincere apologies -- Guest Services'. I guess this is for the excursion mix up. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregonhiker Posted October 19, 2022 #133 Share Posted October 19, 2022 On this cruise too - interesting music choices. On two occasions the music track played in Pinnacle Grill included the same tune used in Celebrity ads. So while enjoying my meal I was envisioning sailing off into the sunset on an Edge class ship 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pictures from the fan tail today. I'll have the activities shortly. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to sailing on the NS in December. We did this cruise 15 years ago. On the sea day from New England, the Daily Program said, ”We were be sailing in the Atlantic along the East Coast of the US. Expect tomorrow to pass just east of North and South Dakota.” I should have brought with me my miniature Hubble Telescope so I could see Mt Rushmore 😀 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising-along Posted October 19, 2022 #138 Share Posted October 19, 2022 It’s been a lovely quiet sea day. We had lunch in the Pinnacle Grill and will have dinner there tonight with Rich and Debbie. It will be the last dressy night for this cruise. We attended the Ask the Captain this afternoon with Captain O’Driscoll. He was our Captain 3 years ago, always a delight! I realized something today. I assumed that when they’re going to play a movie out by the pool that it would always show up in the written Daily Program. Wrong! I was reading through today’s When and Where on the Navigator and it shows that “Where the Crawdads Sing” will be playing by the pool tonight. I wish I’d known before that the Daily Program doesn’t always show movies. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought movie nights by the pool were really common, but haven’t seen them in the programs. I want to make sure I have the right information for my kids before our first cruise this summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
