[amster65]

On the second leg of my b2b. No more Noro. Had 8 days of sun, today in PEI, cloudy and cool[emoji17] Anyone going soon don't miss Jamm the piano man. He is unbelievable !!

Thanks much for the report! We board on 6/27. So glad to hear the noro is gone...hope it continues!

[fsdj1097]

We will be boarding when you disembark in Boston!

 

We're definitely planning on spending time with Jamm. We've heard good things about him.

Great News! No More Noro!

Hope you are enjoying your cruise.

Glad to hear that the Noro is gone.

Happy you enjoyed sunny weather. It makes a difference on that itinerary, IMO

 

So good to hear Maasdam is still providing wonderful cruises. She is by far one of my two favorites.

 

Enjoy the rest of your time aboard. :)

Did the ship start out code red from Boston? And then, on the B2B from Montreal, did they impose it again as a precaution? I ask because I am booked in August and hope I don't have to endure precautionary code reds on each leg :(

I would expect that you would, as HAL treats that as 2 separate cruises (for most passengers). Very often HAL will run code red for the first 2 days of a cruise.

Very often HAL will run code red for the first 2 days of a cruise.

HAL was running Code Orange for the first two days of the cruise for the last several years. That is very different from Code Red.

Recently, HAL has stopped implementing Code Orange as standard procedure. When you board, it is self-serve in the Lido, which Code Orange did not allow.

Thank you for the correction.

Thank you, Ruth. I thought they were still doing that routinely.

I have been told that the Bar Harbor night and second night sailing up the St. Lawrence towards Quebec City are formal nights ...subject to change:rolleyes: At least that is what I am counting on for our July 4th cruise. I have booked specialty dining on other nights.

Thanks so much for this news! I am taking my mom on the Montreal to Boston trip which leaves July 25th. I hope this all holds true for our trip. It's been a long time in the making!

Any others news about the Maasdam these days you would share?

[amster65]

Formal nights are Bar Harbor night and sea day night. Halifax today another sunny. Jamm the piano man doing Rodgers and Hammerstein tonight, saw it I last leg, fantastic. Guitar guy also very good in the mix, Neptunes, Hall Cats so so. Neptunes supposed to play ballroom dancing music, instead it's a jazz band. Did a few dances anyway. Did not go to many shows most were just ok, or bad.
