Okay so I can pay the $6 and order 6 hamburgers? If so…it’s a seating charge. If it’s $6 per burger it’s a food charge.

 

 

I believe you understand the conundrum…and no, if you get 6 you pay the “seating” charge for 6

Also auctioning off this hand woven…knitted…sewn… sweater…showl…thing.

X Gets the Square!

And @Jamman54 for the win!!

Jersey went for $250. I think the sweater went while I was in the bathroom. It started at $100

and must not have gone much higher.

 

[Saint Greg]

One lady came up and asked what was going on. The lady next to me said “they’re going to dance.” Then I explained the fund raising and the prices and the auctions. Then that other lady said “and then they’re going to do line dances.”

 

Where is he heck are they going to do line dances? The deck is filled with Loungers.

I have heard horror stories on the time it takes for all clients and crew to clear customs.  Will be interested to hear how it goes.

Yeah I really didn’t think it would be this bad in June. 

Trust me those "northern" waters can be dangerous any time of the year!  Not to mention COLD!

It’s been a pretty smooth ride. Just cold, wet and foggy.

Oh man what rock have I been under all 100 pages, I thought all this back and forth was over the "other" live guy not the kitty guy!

Back then they gave drunken people guns to shoot skeet, had pillow fights on a slippery round pole with paper thin mats on the deck, hit golf balls off the fantail, but watch out for that slice or ricochet off the railings. Beer drinking contests. Male nightgown contests that would make quest look like PG. Good, clean,  wholesome,  fun!!!  😁

 On my first cruise in 1991 on Jubilee, I participated in the pie eating contest, which was right after the beer drining contest. I was 11 years old, and I remember that the recepticale that they used for the beer drinking came up past my shoulder.

A quick search found one of mine from 2005, but my first Transatlantic was in 1974.

I've been watching your site for many years. You do have an impressive cruise history, I'll give you that. 😎

I guess I probably had to do it last year for Victoria. I mostly remember having to do the ArriveCan thing online and getting QR code we had to show to board splendor. That was a Covid thing I don’t think they’re doing anymore.

Greg,  on my last Canada cruise on the Legend last September, they had us fill out the form then drop it off in a box by Guest Services. What procedure are they having you do? 😎

I’m not sure. They just slipped it under my door. I almost think I remember steward collecting them last year. Unless that was for Bermuda….

Not really, but I'll leave it at that.

In any event,  it didn't impact us or delay us from getting off the ship in Canada. 😎

We had fun firing a shotgun at sea. The party ended during Operation Desert Storm and never returned.

[shof515]

on my previous canada cruises, the room steward collects it or you can bring it to the drop off box by guest services.

 

its just a formality thing that needs to be done. it does not effect getting off the ship when the ship arrives

It will be the shortest line you've seen since boarding in Barcelona.

They actually did squeeze some people on the side but no it wasn’t many.
