  1. I’ve never seen a Halloween tree before 😳 and thankfully no, giant skeletons are not a thing here - yet…
  2. Thankfully not affected by the global IT outage. Our office not impacted. Our local major supermarkets - I had to go to both straight after work - not impacted either. Hope no-one is suffering major travel delays.
  3. @DaniDanielle Very sorry for your sad anniversary. I never met my English grandmother on my mother’s side. She was walking her bike across a pedestrian crossing and was wiped out. Gone far soon.
  4. @Sea Dog Delighted to read that your Hallmark experience exceeded your expectations. I was a big fan of ER so instantly recognised “Santa”. Very cool. Look forward to you posting a screen grab, if you make it on screen.
  5. @Sea Dog Looking spiffing in your new suit Greg. They need to cast you as the rich uncle or wedding guest enjoying whisky and or kraken at the bar in your next extra role for Hallmark I think
  6. Unfortunately, we had Quantum of the Seas in port with us. I learnt this a couple months before and knew it would have an impact on such a small port. We were advised the night before that due to Sitka only being able to provide a limited number of buses (to be shared between both ships) that shuttle tickets would be needed and we would need to be patient as they expected lengthy delays… Nevertheless it was a beautiful morning weather wise waiting for our number to be called
  7. We had a beautiful sail in for our first port - Sitka. Saw 4 whales off our balcony (with binoculars)
  8. Congratulations Greg on being picked as an extra. Very exciting for you. Look forward to your detailing of the experience 🎬
  9. I went too minamilist last cruise (which I had to being overseas and doing a road trip) I only took one pair of “nice” shoes. - I was running behind for our dinner & couldn’t find them - so i just grabbed my daughter’s white cowboy boots out of her suitcase & wore them to the formal night (under long black pants) 🤦‍♀️.
  10. I wish I had taken a photo of the table of confiscated items when I disembarked a domestic cruise late last year. Someone attempted to bring on a rice cooker and there were other electrical items that you wouldn’t expect
  11. Beautiful cabin. I see extra pillows. Assuming Andrew is sharing a cabin with you - what do you/he prefer - a drop down bed from the ceiling or a sofa bed?
  12. Beautiful weather in Sydney yesterday. We went to the Bastille Festival at Circular Quay. We wandered the many food stalls outside customs house - I enjoyed my dish of snails in garlic sauce, then we joined the long queues to purchase some yummy macarons, enjoyed some French wine, watched a French movie at the outdoor cinema, whilst enjoying the muelled wine that was included in the ticket price. The balcony you can see in the photo is the OPT. Then watched some can can dancing on the main stage in First Fleet Park and I enjoyed some delicious Gnocchi with truffle and mushroom sauce from the many French food stalls there. We had most enjoyable afternoon/evening.
  13. Junea, Alaska is trying to limit visits from the large 6000 passenger cruise ships which is understandable imo.
  14. There is a group actively seeking evidence atm. Putting up motion sensor cameras deep in the mountains. What they have discovered so far is there is a lot of deer in the mountains. More than they expected to see. Ill talk about bears later in my TR.
  15. @Arzeena My entree was squid ink linguine with crab, cherry tomatoes and pistachio. My main was roasted lamb with pea purée, buffalo feta, balsamic currants and baby radish. Here are the menus. My dining partner had the mushroom risotto for entree and the ocean trout for mains. Our sides were the grilled broccolini, garlic & chilli oil, prosciutto crumbs & sesame seeds/roast pumpkin, pesto, marinated feta and pumpkin seeds. Food & service were excellent 👍
