Looking forward down the port side of AOS;

 

 

Q; would you ever frequent a place called "Dick and Willy's"? 😅

that is not AoS.  I can't remember ship it is but I walked by it many times in June on my cruise.

 

Your right. It dawned on my after looking at the side of our ship (AOS). I check out that model again and report back. Thanks for pointing that out.

Probably not. But I consider a place called "Dick and Willy's".

But why are they called "boats"?

Because they are open on top to carry cargo? Constructed with a single deck?

Just popping in to post our formal night pics at Giovanni’s. It was ok….hubby liked his steak. My pasta was ok..i would probably skip this the next time but the dessert was really good. I also liked the Royal coffee. 

Hi I have a question about Giovanni's .  Do you order a pasta and an entree or is it one or the other? Thanks

Dude, relax. I hadn't even finished the post yet before you quoted it. And, since you seem to like to correct me, your reply should've been; "But I would consider a place called "Dick and Willy's". 🙂

It’s a single deck bulk carrier that carries ore. Now I’m really out of guesses. 🍹

Oh no! The absolute worst day is coming. I have so enjoyed cruising vicariously through your posts, and those of your fellow travellers. Thank you very much for starting this thread.

I think that portion of the front of the ship is ALWAYS CLOSED OFF(Safety Concerns)  because of copycats trying to take pictures and not wanting to see an accident.

That is not the case at all. I've spent plenty of time on the bow.

I think you've probably picked up on the fact that the Great Lakes cargo "ore" is a key part of solving this mystery (this is fun, thanks for playing. This is like a Great Lakes shipping trivia game). I won't drag this out much further and keep you in suspense. Just a little bit longer to see if someone can get the answer knowing "ore" is key.

when I went up there, the sign said due to wind conditions. I'm guessing that they close it off when the ship is fully underway and open it back up when the ship is in port.

Is this a play on the words ore and oar? Row, row, row your boat…

It was one of the entrees. It was Luke warm. It was …ok. It wasn’t bad but not something I would go out of my way to order again. I don’t eat a lot of meat do that has a lot to do with it. It wasn’t bad. Just wasn’t overly good either

Boo 😞

Time for dinner. Will post more later. Come sail away…come sail away with me 😉

The boy is right, we go there all the time on the open water

Sometimes when we go it's extremely windy, even being able to bend toward the bow windy!😳  I have a vid of that but can't locate it right now.

They carry their cargo in contiguous holds and not packed in containers?

Lol 😂. Nope, kind of hard to propel a 600' - 800' steel bulk freighter with just oars (sticking out of portholes, lol).

I don't mean heli port area, yes that is open sometimes but not that place on extreme bow when the ship is at sea moving.

[ReneeFLL]

They ply the Great Lakes?

No, but nice use of the term "contiguous holds". Very salty. I like it. Keep trying (not much longer until I divulge the answer, unless someone gets it first).
