Thanks for the factoid...

 

Did you have to go and hide the sun today?  I was expecting better from you 😝

Yes we did. We, up here, don’t like to many hot, sunny days, especially me….I was up at 0430, opening everything up from the hot day yesterday 🤪

And we may get some rain today. LOL

Have fun on my fave ship. Won’t be back on her until March for a B3B out of Sydney (finally, after moving them for 3 years).

I took a screenshot on my phone of the same thing!! Zero day is the best day.

 

The top of the Space Needle (in person) is now orange. It seems like it's a different color every time I visit Seattle.

It was painted in April to celebrate the 60th anniversary, and will be celebrated for 6 months. It will probably be a different color if you visit again. 😉

I remember it being gold when I was there a few years ago, also.

From parking shuttle drop to first drink was 55 minutes. There were several very long lines that seemed unusually long and staff seemed confused. 
 

 

 

however I’m onboard, in 270, relaxed and with a drink in hand. 
 

Life is good.

First two drinks have been the Boston Iced Tea Party.

We had a very good lunch at Jamie’s. I’ve decided that even when I don’t order the dining package I’ll be ordering at least embarkation lunch at a specialty restaurant.  It is such a better embarkation experience. 
 

service good but the pace was a little slow. 
 

 

Bruschetta for an appy. 
 

 

We both had the chicken for our mains as well as a shared lasagna. I also had a bolognese as a side pasta. 
 

 

The boss had the brownie I had the pavlova. It was divine. 
 

im lined up for bumper cars now.

Good Morning one and all.

 

The best day of the year is here.  The day when your cruise planner reads the following...

 

 

0 Days to go.

 

Color me jealours -- mine shows this :

 

 

 

I''ll get more excited tomorrow around noon Eastern once we have our negative COVID antigen test results in hand. 

 

Then we will also have this to look forward to --

My favorite part of embarkation was when, at check in, she looked me strait in the eye and asked me if I was more than 23 weeks pregnant.

Is Capt Espen Been still on board or is it Capt Rumen Yovchev (today could be a rotation date)

Neat view of the ship.  NorthStar was down the whole time we were on in May.

Is the North Star complementary or there is an additional fee?  Seems like it is open on embarkation day.   Thanks

It was free today. I think they charge for see days. They call it an enhanced Northstar and hang the pod out over in he side of the ship. 
 

I’ll let you know what I see on a sea day

I am really enjoying your post.

I am a fan of Long Island Ice Tea's so am curious how a Boston Ice Tea Party compares?

It’s all I have been drinking. Taste is similar. Effect is the same.
