Good morning Montenegro, but not to Kotor. The Captain announced this morning that they were canceling our stop in Kotor today due to expected high winds this afternoon. They had scheduled a rotation of crew this morning and are still doing so, but at a town before reaching Kotor. It is chilly! Expected high today of only 54° f degrees.

Tonight's 360 experience was AMAZING!!! There was no photo restrictions other than no flash photography. The photos do not capture the magnificent experience! The ever changing visuals, savory foods, and wines made the experience one that is unforgettable! The table surface was ever changing to theme of the dish. Each of the ten couples had their own fantastic server. All we can say is that it is an experience to be had! (and Debbie is telling me that it is time to go to bed! 🤣)

One of the best things about the Sanctuary, Tea Time!!!

On the Discovery over New Year's they did not allow photos. 🤷‍♂️

Another sea day and our view for the day! 😊

Unfortunately, photos are not allowed. 🤷‍♂️

Tonight's special dishes were a Seared Ahi Tuna Salad with Edamame and Lobster Thermador. We each had the Tuna Salad and the Halibut.

Currently, it is only on the Discovery and Enchanted (I think???). It is by invitation or $149 pp.

Looking forward to tomorrow night!!! 🥂🍷

At Sea for the next two days. The weather is too good to pass up our "Happy Place!" 🙂

Amazing breakfast presentation! This morning Debbie had the BLT with hardboiled egg sandwich (minus the B) and I had the smoked salmon.

@tml1230 Thank you for the kind words! Hopefully, we will share the same ship in the near future. Enjoy your cruise! 🙂🍷

They brought us back to the ship. Last year they took us back to the ship's shuttle drop-off and we had to take the ship's shuttle back.

Tonight we had dinner at The Catch. It was one of the best meals we have ever had on a cruise. We will definitely be returning multiple times during this voyage! Amuse Bouche: Olive and Eggplant Caponata with whipped goat cheese. Appetizer: Seafood Tower of tuna tartar in chile oil, salmon tartar and crab claw. We both had the Catch of the Day, Grilled Swordfish with Parmesan Fries. Dessert: Chantilly Lace (Best Dessert Ever!) And Crepes Suzette with Vanilla Ice Cream!

Youshould be able to scan the QR code on the receipt on my post above. If that does not work, Google LivornoCitySightseeing. We used a credit card, I didn't see anyone paying in cash.

Current internet speed test. We have had no issues with websites, email, or streaming.

We are also onboard, here is my just completed speed test. Even with these numbers we have had no issues with internet or streaming from Netflix.

Only cruise offer on our Platinum Amex is for Oceana. 😪

This morning we left the ship at 9:00 am and took the free shuttle to the center of Livorno. As we exited the free shuttle, the below tour company was selling three separate bus/tour options. #1- To Pisa #2- To Pisa & Florence #3- To Florence We choose the bus to Florence, 39€ pp, and made the 9:30 departure. There was at least one prior departure. Because there were two ships dropping off passengers at the same location it was quite hectic and I was not able to find out the cost of the other two tours. The ride to Florence took 90 minutes each way. Our scheduled return directly to the ship was 5 pm. All onboard for the ship was 6 pm. Once you arrive in Florence you have two options. You can stay with the guide for a walking directed tour or go off on your own. We went off on our own. The bus left Florence for Livorno at 3:30. The drop off/pickup location was a 5 minute walk north of the Florence train station. This was a very convenient spot. The location is at the top left of the map marked in green. We had a very nice sunny, warm day. Debbie got her shopping fix. And I got to shop for vino at the Grand Central Market. We also had lunch at our favorite Trattoria, right around the corner from the Grand Central Market. We shared a Caprese salad and pizza. The view from our table inside the restaurant. The two new members of our omboard wine club!

Sorry about the title! Seems it auto-added part of Australia to the word "Program" at the end??? I have requested an edit from the moderators. 🤷‍♂️

Bingo!!! 🙂
