Hope all aboard are well and looking forward to hearing from you in the not distant future! Don't worry...this thread should be hanging around mostly back on page one again by July. 😉 😄 😁 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not usually our "cup of tea", but would have put up with it for the tour we booked. But that was booked before we knew about the summer Olympics there. Will be interesting if they still run that tour at that time. Hello to your beautiful bride Pauline. 🙂 France and especially Paris will be at the highest Anti-Terror-Level in this summer. So not really easy to travel or stay in Paris, there will be a lot of Police and Army to protect the city and the hole country. We a rental car reservation for the three days in France on the cruise so, we look how the situation will be in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would just like to cancel, but Bucky wants to see how it goes. Either way, I would not do this as self tour in this situation. We are covered if something delays our tour. IMHO...I think the ship will cancel the tour. No big deal. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering it comes from the Alsace-Lorraine city of Strasburg (a city that sits directly on the modern German/French border), in a region that was seized by France (Louis XIII) in the 17th century and it's occupation of a largely German speaking population was one of the causes of WW1, Kronenbourg is as much (if not more) a German beer.

I wouldn’t tell that to the Alsaciens 😂 My OH is from Strasbourg, if we’re having an argument and I’m losing, I just throw in “well you’re German!” and that ends any conversation….. 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSHS1979 Posted March 28 #4568 Share Posted March 28 While sailing round Hong Kong Island, the ship had to alter course when an unlit ferry crossed her path. The action caused a huge wave in both pools that flooded the pool deck and into forward elevators. Glassware in Schooner came crashing down as well. Not sure about any other damage. Happened sometime between 9 and 930 8 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can highly recommend a nice craft beer place in the marina area (Barcelonetta) called Black Lab Brewery. I've been to Barca 4 times in the last 2 years and it's a mainstay. The beer is good, the cocktails are good and they do good food. Not a huge selection of food but burgers, ramen, gyoza. The beer is brewed on site as well. Nice outdoor area to sit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyZolt Posted March 29 #4575 Share Posted March 29 Internet has been slow and sketchy the past few days. Hong Kong was amazing, but uploading photos isn't quick. Here are some photos I took at sail away last night. This was my favorite sail away out of all the ports we've seen so far. It was beautiful! 42 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
