We had Mr Radu on our journey cruise in 2019, I attended both sessions, they were excellent. 

We've met him too, but he's wasn't dressed as a woman!

I got down to deck 2, saw this, and decided to head back to the bar.

 

 

[Saint Greg]

I guess the backup was they still weren’t letting us off. We were told not to go below deck 3 and I guess a bunch of people decide they didn’t want to wait any longer. MarQ just came in with a verbal announcement we can get off on deck 1 now.

 

 

[Saint Greg]

But I’m going to finish this first.

Good morning, I would be feeling good to see a change of scenery after the sea days, sea days just arent my thing lol.

Oh so I was wondering about laundry. I thought I got 5 bags on long cruises. But I heard someone mention 3 at a bar or in the dining room or something. The form in the room says 3 but the website says 5. Im going to assume the website is most current and the fort is just out of date.

 

 

 

We got 5 bags on our 14 day Hawaii cruise in February

Yeah just things I can get to on my own around town.

 

The Duck Boats are pretty cool. You can get them down by the Harbourwalk. 😎

We have been to Nova 3 times in the past 6 yrs. Love the place. First time did the HOHO. Next time took city bus to the bigger Titanic cementary. Last yr we walked the board walk along the waterfront again. The Maritime museum is there and a good place to visit.  All on our own, not necessary to take a formal excursion.

When we were there one of those times the nuclear aircraft carrier Eisenhower was anchored in the harbor. Exciting to sail by it on the QM2 and wishing I could get on the flight deck for a tour.

Unfortunately,  it doesn't apply to his cruise.

I'm back on the ship. I killed my phone battery. Was just going to give it some charge and head back out but the line to get back on the ship was so bad....I don't think I want to do it again.

[Saint Greg]

And the streaming thing must be an every other day deal because they're blocked again.

But it's sunday afternoon. There's a full slate of baseball games on. Anyone want to bet on what the hero's bar is showing?

Before I get started..a PSA. There are paper towel dispensers in the bathrooms. Some of them have paper towels which is great. I love paper towels. But most of them have tissue. I think it’s intended to replace the little dispensers that you would use to open the door. But a lot of people grab them thinking it’s a paper towel. Then they have to pick bits of tissue off of their hands.

 

[Saint Greg]

There was still quite a line to get off of the ship. Then someone came and said the mid gangway was open. I went for it and there was no line.

 

 

 

[Saint Greg]

Get off of the ship and there’s a big retail thing to the left. Tour sales to the right. Hoho still costa $67. I’m going to continue to pass.

 

[Saint Greg]

I’m pretty sure I have internet included in my plan here. I have the att elite. But I didn’t check so I’m playing it safe.
 

I’ve been using the maps.me offline map app for years. Used it in Barcelona, Malaga, Gibraltar and Lisbon as well.

 

I decided to go to the farthest place on my list first and work my way back. So we’re going to the Citadel. And we’ll see some things along the way.

Don't you have a small battery powerbank charger? That would solve all your phone power issues.

This is the bus they want you to pay $67 to ride and count on to get you back to the port? I don’t think so.
