I guess word hasn't gotten out they are no longer required but it looked nice. Even saw a few gowns. Mariner reception was in Lido Pool area. No leaves have turned ,not even in Quebec. We’ve seen a number of jackets on our cruises, too. We’ve just had a few frosts so all the Burning Bushes have turned and are bright red. It will take time for the leaves on the trees here, though. 5 hours ago, mamaofami said: Today Mark's the first day of our 60th anniversary.

A very Happy Anniversary to you both 😄 That certainly deserves a cruise and a lovely Pinnacle dinner! Hope it is the best one ever 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on the sailing right before yours, and yes the ship was FREEZING, wish I had brought along some winter sweaters, Maybe they are trying to sell more thermal suite passes by keeping the ship temps like a meat locker. 😧 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finiansbay Posted September 20, 2019 #43 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Happy 60th Anniversary! We had our 51st in August. Our first time on Holland America. We board the ship in Quebec on October 8, so I will be checking your posts for information. Good to know about the “freezing” temps on board. Will pack a sweater for dinner. Hope you get to see some leaf 🍁 color soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamaofami Posted September 23, 2019 Author #48 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Back in the states today. Portland where temps are 82 degrees. The commedy shows onboard have been very good, but the piano music from billboard can be heard inside the theater distracting from the show. Several of us reported that deck 2 was the coldest on the ship and I think they adjusted the temps. Do bring a sweater for dinner as dinning room is cold. Early fixed dinning is 5;30 but I see people coming in at 6 so it's not enforced. Later seating is at 8pm. Thankfully the art auctions are gone. Service has been great all over the ship. Off to find a lobster now in Portland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamaofami Posted September 25, 2019 Author #50 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) Today is a sea day going from Boston to Newport. Enough people have come down with the flu for the captain to announce it the other night. Seems early in the season but it is what it is. We are washing our hands constantly and taking airborne. The best entertainment on board continues to be Lincoln Center. I suggest checking your account on the tv regularly. We were charged for an excursion I never took and had to get it straighted out. The weather today is beautiful and I'm happy to have our large balcony. Packing up is looming ahead. Seems like we just boarded.Tonight is the 2nd gala night.
