Rare CanadianBurger Posted December 11, 2017 Author #77 Share Posted December 11, 2017 After half a dozen cruises where I’ve said “I’m going to do the Pop Choir” and then chickening out, I finally did it. This is back at Crooners after the first rehearsal, recovering with a wonderful chocolate mint martini. Afternoon Tea. The warm scones with jam and clotted cream can’t be beat! I tried the new meatball dish at Slice. Very tasty! Menu at The Salty Dog Grill. I’ll sample an Ernesto Burger before the end of the cruise.

Rare CanadianBurger Posted December 11, 2017 Author #78 Share Posted December 11, 2017 The weather has gone from bad to worse. Windy, rain, and rough seas, although the temperature has finally climbed above 70 degrees. We’re rocking quite a bit, and watching people walking down the hallways has become a sport...

Kenswing Posted December 11, 2017 #80 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Thanks for the update. It's great seeing all the pictures of the recent upgrades. I still can't believe the internet is good enough to get these pictures uploaded.. lol I hope the seas calm and the weather improves for you.

Rare CanadianBurger Posted December 11, 2017 Author #81 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Learned a few things about the CB’s propulsion issues after talking to officers today: there is an electrical problem with the motors driving one of the propellers, resulting in a reduced maximum RPM of the propeller shaft. The other side must also be reduced in RPM to match, so the effective reduction in speed is approximately two knots. This is not an easy repair, so the CB will be going back into drydock in May 2019, earlier than originally scheduled, for repairs. This will be an extended drydock, lasting about 30 days.

touesns Posted December 12, 2017 #83 Share Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) We have also found on past sailings with Princess that the set dining times do not match up with the show times, hence we do the any time dining on Princess. :D:D Went to the Welcome Aboard Show tonight. Well, as much as we could. The scheduling was stupid. Anyone with an 8:00 dinner had to leave the 7:30 show early, and wouldn’t make the 9:00 one. Comedian was pretty funny for the few minutes we saw him. The dancers weren’t together, but hopefully that will improve throughout the cruise.

Rare CanadianBurger Posted December 12, 2017 Author #84 Share Posted December 12, 2017 We had lots of formal portraits done before and after dinner tonight, as we bought the all-inclusive photo package when it was on sale for $99.

Rare CanadianBurger Posted December 12, 2017 Author #96 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Today was our stop in Falmouth Jamaica, docking at noon. We’ve been to Jamaica before, so got off the ship for about 30 minutes to wander the port, then got back on. Friends were here last week on the NCL Epic, and took some posed pics. Using theirs as a guide, we took exactly the same pics as a silly prank. We just made it on board as the rain started. The rain and wind got worse as the day progressed. By 5pm it was pouring. One of the “Behemoth of the Seas” was docked with us. Sent from my iPhone 8+ using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CanadianBurger Posted December 12, 2017 Author #97 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Wandered through Margaritaville. I’d rather eat and drink on the ship for free, so we didn’t stop. Tried some freshly-hacked sugarcane. Sweet and surprisingly juicy. Sent from my iPhone 8+ using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
