Every ship should be doing this! I absolutely loved sitting next to the windows with a nice breeze and cocktail. It really helps circulate the air while the roof is closed!

YES, completely agree. I loved it.

Would love to meet you. Maube we can go to Terrazzo Sea Day Brunch together. 🤔We're enjoying the ship, the crew and the location.

Sounds good! I cannot wait to get on board. 😃

Let's see if I can get some more of the early stuff in here before work starts.

Carnivale Bar & Lounge. I'm a Bellini fan, so this menu speaks to me, but I will haven't had one. I want to try classic peach, rossini, raspberry, blood orange 🍊 and 🍇.  So basically all of them except apple cider & spicy mango. I will report back.

Had someone checking wristbands day 1 going ott to Terrazzo but not since. We were on our way out for ail away. Bar was empty; Terrazzo was full but not packed. Invite said live musicians, but we didn't see or hear any; maybe we were too early.

Beautiful views - only beef I have is the windows were dirty so couldn't get good pix. @Jamman54Highly recommend Patti be higher up to get better shots, unless they clean the windows that day.

Hitchhiker was so cute, I'm throwing him up here again. Curious how long he stayed with us.

After Sail Away, we got ready for the Steakhouse.

Dinner 1st night was in Steakhouse. We always eat there 1x/cruise and chose Night 1 so we could get the wine gratis.

Menu and everything but dessert vanished, but it was good. I had baked onion soup, ribeye & apple tart; Sis had 🦞 (don't remember which starter) and cheesecake. Already mentioned the worlds smallest slider, but it was cute & good, so it's worth another mention.

Everything looks great! The views and the food have me envious. I hope you get to try the Bellinis.

Good morning Almost Sydney! We're due to arrive in under 3 hours. Have an independent tour of Cabot Trail and Cape Breton arranged. Very windy. No one in Terrazzo port hot tub.

Aloha. Love your posts and pictures. Enjoy today!

[Haljo1935]

Woo Hoo - I see land (zoom in, I promise it's there) - Sydney, is that you?

[Haljo1935]

I have coffee in my future.

[Haljo1935]

Wait time was less than 5 min. Dining room very busy, definitely have Lido in our future to break things up & see what it's like early in AM.

☕ ☕ is HOT!! Need more creamer, but we're off to a good start. Juice is LARGE.

I woke up this morning, saw the post "almost Sydney" and thought "Wow, they're in Australia!" then I woke up more.  Need coffee!🤣

We're enroute to Kelly's Mountain and the Cabot Trail. Driver says we should have a Peep Show at top of Kelly's Mountain.

Can't get good pix while we're moving - the roads are winding. Driver says we'll stop for good pix on way back down.

They will do shared or private tours; we did 6 hour shared. $400/🚗 $100pp. They take cards in advance or cash at port. Pick up right at port.

Bye Bye, Sydney!!

[Jules8888]

Do they provide binoculars in the Terrazza balcony cabins? I’ve seen both answers, so thought I’d go to a reliable source! It would be nice not to pack them.

Hey @Jules8888 we do not have binoculars in our cabin.

Good morning, Sea Day!

Beautiful 51° headed to 60°. Tomorrow's forecast has rain, so better get in some quality deck time today.

I'd enjoy my pre-breakfast ☕ ☕ out there if I had any. But since I don't, guess I'll have to go get it myself. 

Only thing planned for today is Sea Day brunch and a trip to Guest Services to sort out a pesky OBC thing involving the canceled excursion from Halifax. And work, always the work. Internet has been adequate for working, so at least it's not frustrating like my previous work@sea experiences.
