Just Peachy Liberty Canada/NE Cruise

[lovelife]

I am loving these pictures.. I"m getting very excited for the 12 night repositioning cruise on Liberty. (we leave in 23 days!) I decided to go for a hump balcony, but your awesome pictures make me think maybe next time I'll brave the longer walk and get an aft again.

 

Thanks! Yes, you should try that cabin (or the other side). I didn't mind the walk at all and I'm pretty old.

Back to it...... Ports continued:

 

Nova Scotia

 

This has been on my bucket list for a while so I was really looking forward to this port. We took the RCCL Peggy's Cove and Double Decker Bus excursion. It was a very long ride to Peggy's Cove with a tour guide who was most informative but never stopped talking for a second. Upon arrival to lovely Peggy's Cove there were at least ten other buses there. It was absolutely gorgeous and I'm so glad I was able to visit but........I spent ten of our allotted 60 minutes waiting in line for the restroom. There was no room to even get into any of the gift shops. Holy cow what a mess of a crowd. Our tour guide said some days see even more tour buses -- yikes!!

Nova Scotia

 

A house dedicated to Peggy's Cove

 

 

By the time we returned we were afraid to go very far on the double decker bus so we just took it a couple stops away to the boardwalk area along the water. Here we had some wonderful scallops and cod and then explored the area on a lovely walk back to the ship.

 

 

 

 

Unusual things just get my attention

I booked it on line as it was a lot less expensive than the ship excursion.

 

We're cruising the Anthem in late August--can you share the web site address, thanks.

Ports continued:

 

Nova Scotia

 

 

There is a school of white fish in the water

 

 

With another item marked off my bucket list, we departed for Boston.

It is olis trolley with no spaces and dot com. Don't know if I'm allowed to list it on here.

[lovelife]

Ports continued:

 

Boston

 

We lived in Cape Cod and worked in Boston some 25 years ago so are very familiar with Boston. It was good to come back.

 

 

 

 

We took a ship shuttle to Quincy Market for $30 round trip for the two of us. Maybe a taxi is just as cheap but I didn't check it out.

 

 

Again we had some wonderful fried fish and ooooooh that crab salad.

 

 

 

[lovelife]

Boston continued:

 

 

 

 

We walked to Boston Common and strolled around a bit before checking out some other areas of town.

 

 

[lovelife]

Boston continued:

 

This officer agreed to let me photograph him and even slowed his trusty steed for me!

 

 

 

Yummy samples

 

 

It was a very lovely day and a fitting final port. Boston is on my list of favorite cities.

 

I'm not sure this view from our balcony is in Boston but according to the date the photo was taken, it is. Anyhoo, I'm sticking it here.

Your pictures are great! We are doing many of the same ports on Serenade of the Seas in 10 days, so thanks for your review.

[lovelife]

Thanks! I loved these ports. You should see some fall color on yours.

To Quench Your Thirst

 

Drinks:

 

We usually had our before dinner drinks that were pre-loaded on the sea pass at Bolero's, the Champagne Bar, or Hoof and Claw Pub (the best). We are not big drinkers and usually only had two all evening. The concierge lounge is very small and crowded. Catacombs was designated for overflow and the one evening we went there we could not even find a table. The ocean view diamond lounge on this class of ship is much nicer than the interior concierge lounge. I usually got my morning lattes in the diamond lounge but never went there in the evenings.

 

 

Foo Foo drinks not complimentary for diamond and up

 

I love a frozen mudslide

 

 

 

 

 

Included rum punch and screwdriver. DH set up kissing oranges on our anniversary evening -- awwwww.

Sorry, I should have asked this before--where do you pick up the trolley in location to the pier?

Just up the block. Anything in the town is walkable.

No problem. I chatted with the driver a bit beforehand. According to him, Best view is on the driver's side. I sat the the other side because of my knee-- it wasn't a huge issue, but I think he was right.

You will get detailed instructions and directions when you make your online reservation. It is a very short walk.

Interesting. On the the new plans (after the dry dock) lists the card room as part of the new Suite Lounge. I wonder if they are starting early?
