Good thing that there are Spinning classes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted October 23, 2019 Author #127 Share Posted October 23, 2019 YC breakfast menu I decided to chance having the waffles this morning (I've never had good ones on a ship). These were piping hot, but a bit doughy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted October 23, 2019 Author #128 Share Posted October 23, 2019 We did the one hour Harbor Hopper Duck tour in Halifax yesterday. It was a lovely sunny day and warm in sheltered areas, but there was a bit of a breeze with quite a bite to it. Unfortunately DH wasn't too well. He has a lingering problem since our last cruise of trapped wind and had a bad attack in the morning, so we just returned to the ship after the tour, had lunch and he rested in bed for the afternoon. Thankfully it's only the first time he's had an attack since we left home. Hopefully he'll be OK today. We're doing a Bras d'Or lake private tour. Tomorrow is a sea day which I'm looking forward to after 4 continuous port days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted October 23, 2019 Author #129 Share Posted October 23, 2019 (edited) Other than some slight rocking yesterday evening, we've had calm seas and fantastic weather. 😀 It's cloudy today so it's bound to be colder than what we've been experiencing.

Rare Beamafar Posted October 23, 2019 Author #139 Share Posted October 23, 2019 (edited) Really hope so ... we may be able to stay onboard. After all, we have to be here to welcome you onboard with your "gifts" 😁😁 Just realised that they'll still have to clear the ship 🙄 Edited October 23, 2019 by Beamafar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redlondon Posted October 23, 2019 #143 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Bea do you know if you can upgrade drinks package part way through cruise or does it have to be done on 1st day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted October 23, 2019 Author #144 Share Posted October 23, 2019 The policy usually is that you have to upgrade on either the first or second day. When I get a chance, I'll get that confirmed. On the subject of the waffles ... they're made fresh onboard this ship (I've just had that confirmed, now, though I was already pretty sure what I had this morning weren't frozen ones). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisinMaterial Posted October 23, 2019 #148 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Hey Bea! You're likely getting the storm we had earlier this morning pass through. It actually gave us quite the nice day here in Boston. You're arrival is starting to get a lot of press in the Boston area. The independent news affiliate already ran a story and I hear some of the other local news stations will be down there as well. CruisePort Boston is talking this arrival up BIG time as it's the largest ship to ever call on the port of Boston! Weather is looking good still for Saturday but temps will be cooler. I hope your husband feels better. Loving the menus you've been sharing and hope you managed to have a good day in Sydney! Enjoy your sea day tomorrow! Foliage in Portland is really nice now too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L2float Posted October 23, 2019 #149 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Thanks to all for your overeating support! I'll order everything that looks good and feel no shame! These menus and pics of food are making it really hard to eat my salad for dinner! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
