buggins0402 Posted April 9, 2019 #6 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Wow....when you said drifts, you meant DRIFTS! I see you won’t have a problem finding a free lounger in the shade. The good news.... you don’t have to shovel it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJB Posted April 9, 2019 #10 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Wow, we did this cruise a few years ago but it was in June. What s difference a few months make. It was a great trip with a few more stops. Pretty warm at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got off Marina Friday in NYC and drove home, upstate, through some flurries and on arrival home a dusting on our yard. Nothing like this though!

It was a great trip with a few more stops. Pretty warm at that time. And we did it in May 2014. Not the same itinerary but much of the same stops -- we had two in Newfoundland. We got to Corner Brook which was great, but missed L'Anse aux Meadows which the prior year's cruise had also missed. I remember the weather was warm enough although not necessarily warm. I checked our photos which look like sweaters and light jackets, but I didn't say anything in my diary about the weather there. Mea culpa. But early April ... lesson learned! Mura P.S. My travel companion was to be a childhood friend who's lived all her life in L.A. She would have LOVED the snow!

Rare LHT28 Posted April 10, 2019 Author #15 Share Posted April 10, 2019 some of it has melted but the crew are shovelling the bigger mounds into the corners so they can open the decks up some brave souls out walking around the deck above the pool .. the sun is out so that should help a bit rolling motions but so far not bad we did miss NFLD because of the storm & went south a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted April 10, 2019 Author #16 Share Posted April 10, 2019 off track a bit in the Terrace they have plastic wrap stretched from the sneeze guard to the counter in some areas of the buffet ( it is a start) No snacks in Horizons 24/7 as reported someplace here they have the usual morning offerings plus cold cereals until 11am have not noticed the straw situation yet as Waves has been closed for 2 days looks like it may open today for lunch temp now 45F so getting better 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warburg Posted April 11, 2019 #17 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Thanks for the photos, Lyn. They reminded me why we left New York City. Enjoy your unique cruise. Not every cruise has snowman building as a possibility. If we were on Marina, we would enjoy the snow as tourists. Plus, it will probably be gone soon. In a few minutes I am going out to 78 and sunny. Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does not make any sense at all. I guess the straws are just a P.R. stunt to try and look good to some group or other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastic bags are banned as well. I always carry a spare in my purse. Edited April 18, 2019 by melody hounddog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I've read is that straws literally "fall through the cracks." They don't recycle at all because the machines can't handle them. And there are plenty of straws that aren't plastic.
