  1. If I’m understanding correctly, it is your ticket that was cancelled and not the flight itself? Was your booking made direct with Delta, by your travel agent or through a 3rd party vendor (such as Expedia)? I hope you can get this resolved without too much further issue - so sorry this is happening.
  2. Very pretty entry to the Portland harbor this morning even without the sunshine!
  3. We have a very pretty day for our walking food tasting tour. I have been wanting to do this for awhile so glad it will finally work out.
  4. Garrit and I are a.so onboard Nieuw Statendam and have had a great first week! Although we have sailed about 60 times, this itinerary had 5 of 9 ports we had not visited on previous itineraries. We took an independent tour in Quebec with only 10 others and except a brief rain shower, the weather allowed us to really enjoy this beautiful old quarter or the city. We almoast felt like we were I France. The port of Saguenay couldn’t have made us feel more welcome.Again we took an independent small group tour to the Backcountry and fjords. Once again in the afternoon, the weather cleared. We really enjoyed seeing all the different manger scenes made by local artists of different materials in a very pretty park. In Charlottetown, we did a walkabout and found the scarecrows throughout the town, had a nice visit with the local fire department administrative assistant and learned more about what the people went through from Fiona. We were grateful how quickly in the area worked to clear damage so we could enjoy the ports. This port has a very nice indoor market of local vendors and I can vouch for COWS ice cream! Today we took a HAL tour to Baddeck and Louisbourgh. The fortress offered us two activities (hot cocoa made the way of the settlers and a costumed interpreter explaining a day in the life of a soldier) The guide was very good and informative, but I remembered why I dislike the big bus cruise line tours. Too much time has to be reserved to just getting everyone on and off the bus and the bus ride portion takes a bit too long. We find this ship very comfortable and the crew is unfailingly cheerful and friendly. The cruise director is amazing in her EXC talks and very professional yet friendly throughout the day. We will be back on this ship next June in Copenhagen and very much looking forward to it.
