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

Are you a maximalist cruise packer?

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) 🤦♀️. -

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 -
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.

A unique way to disencourage tourists

Junea, Alaska is trying to limit visits from the large 6000 passenger cruise ships which is understandable imo. -
@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 👍
