Saint Greg's Venezia Transatlantic May 29, 2023

Apparently we’re still a few people shy and there’s some Canadian law that there can only be one bar open per deck so the only bars on this ship that are open are atrium, Carnivale, rococo…maybe serenity.

at 6:15pm. Hard to find a place to sit. Hard to get a drink.

Many cruises to Canada and that's the first I ever heard of that law. #notbuyingit

Yeah I don’t remember it on our splendor cruise but that’s what they’re selling us.

The bagpipers will be giving you a send off.

Where? Even on Sunday? The citadel didn’t have any on Sunday I know.

Sentry and ditch. Ditch never was a moat.

 

[Saint Greg]

The changing of the guard is every hour. The ones on break are in this room. You can come in here and talk to the off-duty ones. I did get a changing of the guard and on that one it’s this female guard leaving the post.

This is a well where they used to get their water from.

 

 

[Saint Greg]

In the back are a couple of cells. This used to be a short term jail.

 

 

[Saint Greg]

We’re pulling off. No pipers. They must be off Sunday 

 

 

[Saint Greg]

Oh my sentry guard changing video is up now.

That is pretty cool to catch, every hour though wow😯

[Saint Greg]

I walked across to that barracks

which has a museum in an information center. There’s supposed to be a tour starting soon from the information center.

 

 

[Saint Greg]

I had heard there was an 11:05 tour. I wish I would have known the guard changed every hour. By the time I figured out this was going on, it was too late by the time I got over there. So if you do this I recommend getting there for the 11am guard change. Then hop over to the 11:05 tour. That’s going to end with the noon gun…which only happens once a day.

We were on a Princess Cruise last year and they did the same to us. We were in Vancouver

[Saint Greg]

While I was waiting for the 11:05 tour (I got there 10:35), I went into the little museum they have at the information center and watched a short film.

Same thing happened on my Spirit cruise to Alaska last year.  A few hours before we sailed into Victoria they only had one bar open per deck.

Could be. I don't think I was ever there on a Sunday. Maybe the one bar per deck thing is also a Sunday rule.

The Fort took 28 years to build. Was Supposed to be 6.

 

 

Then we saw a firing display. I got to see it twice because i was close by during another tour later.
