Alexandra were the smoothies served cold/chilled or are they still more or less room temperature?  When I order them at the Spa Cafe I usually ask them to make them with ice cubes added.  

 

We are really enjoying following along with you on your adventures as always and look forward to next weeks adventure on your B2B. 

 

The ones served in Tuscan/ Captain club breakfast are cold. So that’s very nice. 
I agree on you that they should be served cold, they are best when served cold😁 

 

Thank you🥰

We are looking forward to some more adventures outdoors😎

Done a few B2B and not had the raffles or other offers!

It’s 50/50 on our b2b if they have a raffle. 
So not every time🥰

 

it depends on the ship🙂

[Norwaylady]

I was awake 06.30 but was not ready for my walk. So I was ready the newspaper from the bed and took it slowly🙃

At 08.30 it was time to hit the walkway😎

 

It was not too crowded outside and it had drizzled a bit during early morning. 

Good temperatures for a walk and my body is really starting to feel better in the warmer weather🥳🥳🥳😎☀️

After my hour of walking I headed down to wake up Mr & do a Clark Kent for breakfast. 

 

It was buffet day😜 you know that 🦴 to Mr🙂

It was crowded and a full house😝 people were not early risers today🙃

I took my usual, yoghurt and fruit. 

Mr had his omelette🥰

We found a table on the terrace and it was all good😎 

 

After the breakfast we went downstairs to prepare for the day. 

It’s concierge party in Sky lounge 11.30. 

 

Its drinks, raffle and a friendly hello from Captain Georg💙🥂 CD Angela and the Concierges. 

 

 

I asked CD Angela about next cruise… what to expect of guest entertainment🥹

Well it’s not super exciting….. 

We will probably have everything again😂😂😂  So that’s was not what I hoped for😝

💛🐣🐰🩷Happy Easter 🩷🐰🐣 💛

According to Norwegian style, we have celebrated Easter since Wednesday afternoon🐣🐣🐣 it’s public holidays from Wednesday evening until Monday evening. 

Easter egg hunting was yesterday and “everyone” had slow roasted leg 🦵🏻 of lambs for dinner😂🐣🐣🐣

 

The lunch buffet was decorated for 🐣 Easter lunch. 

 

 

 

 

I ran straight from the concierge gathering to OV to get a picture of the decorations before everything was demolished by hungry people😝😂💛🩷🐣

 

 

 

 

 

Applause 👏🏻 to all the crew that do use their time to make it look beautiful🩷💛🐣

We have never had anything extra either, so it makes me wonder if the captain makes that decision, or there are other factors involved in what is given or not.   Anyway, I think it is a nice touch.

 

As far as the charms, they break very easily, but the girls do enjoy them for a while💏

 

Happy Easter!

One of the things I missed moving from UK to Canada is the holidays, we only had Friday off.

 

I'm currently slow cooking lamb today, my husband never used to eat lamb for Easter until he met me. Even now he keeps trying to cook turkey, I'm like nope lamb.

[hcat]

Amazing Job with Easter festivities, decor and desserts.  All look lovely and tasty.

 

Easter is one holiday we won't cruise on.  We made a date error once,  and hit an Easter cruise out of Miami on Royal C..

 

  It was very crowded with large family groups,   and many unsupervised,  poorly behaved children and teens. Oblivious parents/ guardians added to the problem..  Security could not keep up with the antics, destruction, and gen mayhem!  

 

Never again on school holidays, esp from that port!

[Norwaylady]

After my paparazzi walk in OV I found a sun lounger in the shade. 

Mr was sitting on the balcony working downstairs. 

 

Reading some magazines and watching the ocean. 

The crew walked cold towels, sorbets and the usual bar service. 

 

It was another round of officers vs guests volleyball in the pool. 

At 13.45 Mr texted me…. Can we have some lunch together? 

 

So we went to OV to find something for lunch. 

The crowd had definitely eaten cakes😂😂😂 

Easter bunnies 🐰 was all taken and the cake table was almost vacuumed😝

 

They had turkey on the carving table and lots of other options. 

The chocolate fountain was out and running. A crew was making fruit skewers as requested from the buffet and dipping them into the chocolate. 

 

Mr was very happy for the turkey 🦃 it was super moist and tasty. 

They had some grilled scampi in garlic😋

All good 👍🏻 

 

After lunchtime Mr went back to work, so he could finish up what he was doing today. 

I went on a hunt of a shaded sun lounger… 

[Norwaylady]

So happy Easter 🐣 from Spitzbergen! 

 

Mr received this from his former colleague (when he worked on Svalbard) 

 

peek’a’boo 😅🤩😜

 

 

 

 

They had visitors on the polar station in Hornsund a few days ago🐾🐾🐾

A mama polar bear 🐻‍❄️ and her cubs was really cute & close🐻‍❄️🐻‍❄️🐻‍❄️🙈

 

All went well🤍 They are so fascinating and cute (in a distance) 

 

So if you are thinking about that dream cruise to Spitzbergen or a Hurtigruten cruise around Spitzbergen…. 
You know what to do! 
Book it⚓️ 🇳🇴🐾🤍🥂

 

(no, I’m not sponsored by the cruise lines😜)

They don’t love it when they are that close to the house😅

[Norwaylady]

After some shaded sun it was time to go downstairs to Mr. 

He was rounding up work for the day. 

 

Today’s canapés: 

 

Sun on the balcony is never wrong😎

Effy has charmes you can collect every day to different times. They give you a locker necklace to put them in. 
we don’t collect them. But I know several people do. 
 

Thank you. They look cute, but sometimes Effy is annoying😁. I'll have to weigh out how much I really want the charms.

Dinner 

I was quite full after the lunch🙈 had a stack of those grilled shrimp scampi garlic😜🙈😂😋

 

Today’s menu: 

 

We had cobb salad, shrimp cocktail , escargot, arugula salad and prime rib of beef. 

 

 

 

 

Of those things I had arugula salad and shrimp cocktail. 

 

Mr was happy for the beef. It was looking absolutely delicious and tasty. ( So chefs… I know you can make them correct😝) 

 

Dessert 

 

A crème brûlée and ice cream found the way to our table. 

 

Then it was time for bed 🛏️.
