It has been great-was a bucket list for me to snorkel in the South Pacific especially after we had to cancel a previous one. My favourite was snorkeling with the sharks!

Nice to come back from breakfast & find these on our bed. They are larger than the other tiles we received previously.

@gourmetnotgourmand just for you, photos of the lobster I’ve had during this cruise! Some from dining room, Canaletto & Pinnacle. (sorry you had to cancel-I developed a knee problem on this cruise but could still snorkel thankfully).

I had a baked potato for my main course in the MDR the other night! Had a craving.

I posted that as we are currently on this cruise and when I ordered a milkshake at the Dive In with our burger the milkshake was included in HIA. If we order it at Gelato it isn’t. Doesn’t make sense but that’s how it is on this cruise.

I don’t understand why they don’t do this. I’m sure they used to? Totally agree they are lacking in this area.

There is still coughing & I’ve seen a few more people mask. But otherwise all normal. We have masked when indoors since day 1 & still do.

Our ship has been back to “normal” awhile now. It’s not like it was an epidemic on here.

@danogg They have it on the Navigator App. I’ll attach photos for today. You can look up all the restaurant menus. It’s come in very handy. We have late dining & always decide what we are having before we go!

No relation to bennybear other than maybe our love of bears?!

I’m trying to post photos (which I can do) but want to put above the photo what it is then do the same for the next couple. Tiramisu Canaletto Shrimp lobster with pasta @Overhead Fred I think I got it-thanks! But will I remember next time, lol

Does this work if I only have an iPhone. I’ll try next time. Thanks.

@Haljo1935 that is a very strange looking….tiramisu. Mr Bear is Italian & makes a very tasty (Kahlua added) tiramisu. We really enjoyed the taste of it in the Canaletto and are usually very picky when it comes to any restaurant serving it. Pretty photo though that you posted-thanks.

So thrilled you’ll be back on a cruise! Will be following along.

I’ve got a lot of 59 cents on my bill 😁 on this cruise!

We enjoyed another lovely dinner at the Canaletto tonight-our 3rd time on this cruise. The food has been delicious & the service perfect. I haven’t figured out how to leave a space & insert what the food is before each photo 🤦‍♀️ Appetizer was the grilled tiger shrimp. My main course was the broiled lobster tails with spaghetti with garlic. Dessert of course was tiramisu.

It was rough seas this morning so we didn’t even know if we’d get into this port. I’m not sure even if we were on time if that would help the tender process. I know my husband only waited about 15 minutes and after I left him I was walking through different areas of the ship and couldn’t believe the number of people waiting. I heard them calling tender tickets well past 2pm. Crazy. I would advise if you are not 4* and above or Club Orange to sign up for a HAL excursion as they get on first.

Thanks Nancy! Between the Eurodam in November and now this one, I hope MrBear is back in the saddle 😂 He just walked around, visited the Catholic Church etc. I’ll post a couple of photos he took. He came back sweating as it was hot & humid out & we went for a swim in the aft pool. So glad I stayed on the ship though. Being 4* and above you meet in the Half Moon room and get priority boarding so he had no issue at all. Easy & quick. It’s hard to believe that hundreds & hundreds had to wait for many, many hours to get a tender.

It is 2:40 here now & they are still calling tender tickets. MrBear was back & we relaxed at aft pool & only a couple others on the pool. Was wonderful.

Just to confirm about the tendering here, Mr Bear went down around 10:30. What a zoo but thankfully, being 4*, his wait was minimal. I decided to stay on the ship, grabbed a latte & library book & sitting on our port side balcony. We had an aft table in the MDR this morning & watched the crashing of the seas thinking the ship would not get in here. Thankfully the Captain waited it out & people could get off. It is 11:40 here & they are still calling tender tickets.

@BermudaBound2014 yum yum. Can hardly wait for our late dining-escargot & lobster!

Dutch Cafe is known for its pea soup! The ac sure works too so I needed something warm 😁

fakaravaexplorer@hotmail.com With Ato Lissant. The tenders were no issue here but were in Moorea.

@BermudaBound2014 “Everyone play nice please!!!” I don’t understand this…is someone not playing nice? If this was directed at me I still don’t understand? We had a great excursion today with Ato Lissant. He had an issue with his boat the day before but found another one for us today. Snorkeling in a couple of locations, lunch on the motu & lots of sharks! We just made it back on the tender when the rain poured.
