Rare Jim_Iain Posted September 6, 2022 Author #1876 Share Posted September 6, 2022 We said goodbye to our guide and decided to return to the ship on our own instead of having him stuck in all the traffic. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted September 6, 2022 Author #1877 Share Posted September 6, 2022 We stayed on the ship for dinner and being exhausted had a quiet evening on the ship. All except one bar was closed due to customs regulations. Of. Purse all the shops and Casino were closed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on Deck 6 - 6106 - aft facing. Originally i had the one on 9th floor but someone canceled and i grabbed it and put on hold until my agent could swap cabins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History nerd here, and I'm pretty sure Queen Victoria/Prince Albert never set foot in Canada. I think your driver meant the Duke of Kent, Queen Victoria's father. He lived in Kent House in downtown Quebec City (now the French consulate), and had a summer home by Montmorency Falls. Your are correct about the house at the top of of the falls was built by Duke of Kent in 1809. It served as the French Consulate from 1980-2015. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heat spell in northern California will probably be there for our return. Oh well --- I guess I can turn on the air conditioner remotely before we arrive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a router in our ceiling just above the refrigerator The connection is good but doesn't help when the ship looses connectivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A port we have never been to. Unfortunately, we stop in Bermuda and not Charleston. I agree, it is one of my favorite cities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orsino Posted September 7, 2022 #1886 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Earlier it was accurately reported that the soft serve machine was broken. I’m happy to report that as of right now it is working and the soft serve is quite good. My husband is very happy to have his beloved soft serve. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunzini Posted September 7, 2022 #1887 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I agree with the post that states that Quebec City is the perfect cruise port. Very walkable, interesting, and immensely beautiful city! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted September 7, 2022 Author #1890 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) We learned something of interest at lunch. Abdul, the food and beverage manager, said they sourced the lobster on this cruise from the east coast and it’s Canadian Lobster. We had it for lunch today and was both tender and sweet.

We did the zipline-don’t want to take over your thread by posting the video. They have a very strict weight restriction, usually 220 lbs but as there was a breeze that day, September 5, limit was 200 lbs-so my husband who’d been so diligent with his weight the past month, wasn’t able to do it😭😭. There were two other men while we were there, who were refused as they were only 2 lbs over-very strict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
