Yes, they have a black belt in time travel😂😂 

That’s why I wrote they have timed them self out🤣🤣🤣 (plus’s everything happens at the same time🫥) 

It was a new invitation on the bed last night, highlighting it is today 4.APRIL🙃 

[Norwaylady]

So today’s plan is: 

 

Sneak out of the room. Don’t wake up Mr sleepyhead…. (Told the spa NOT to call to remind me of my appointment at 08.00)

Sneak out✔️

 

Coffee in Al Bacio✔️

Did they run out of plates😜 I’m not a 🦆… I prefer a plate under my croissant. (They drizzle) 

 

Manicure 

 

Breakfast by Mr

 

B2B meeting at 11.00.

 

The rest of the day is open🙃

[ecslady]

Once again, I am enjoying following you along. Would you be able to post the current On Board Booking Offer flyer?

[DaKahuna]

 How are the almond croissants at Cafe Al Bacio?  We usually start our day with one each of those.  On our last Celebrity cruise our assistant waiter in Luminae was responsible for stocking the pastries.  When he found out we enjoyed the almond croissants, we would find one each delivered to our breakfast table each morning.

Mr lived in Longyearbyen for 2 years and we have stayed at Juvet. 

 

Have you seen the You Tuber who lives on Svalbard?  Its super interesting. Her name is Cecilia Blomdahl and she vlogs about life on that remote island.  She lives in Longyearbyen. 

[Norwaylady]

Pedicure✔️

Melissa did a good job and my toenails are looking good again🤩 

 

Breakfast together by Mr✔️

 

 

B2B meeting ✔️

 

Uneventful. 

Alex, document officer went thru the process step-by-step. And transit cards delivered out. 

No promotional offers as of now for dining/beverage. (They would notify later) 

 

After the must-do list it was time to walk outside. 

Pink lightning was walking for 1.5h 

It was chair hogs today…. So they left notifications and cleared out if nobody came😜🤣 Well done pool team👏🏻👏🏻

(Lots of grumpy faces, but they had been gone for over 2h on returning…) 

 

I picked up some pizza and melon for a quick lunch on the sun bed together by Mr. 

Mr do not walk as I do….

So a quick change and fresh up is needed now 😅

 

At 15.00 I have a meeting in Al Bacio. Someone on FB asked if we could meet for coffee and a talk about cruises in Norway 🇳🇴.

they gave me an almond croissant this morning☺️ I asked for a plain. 
it was good to be onboard. I’m a bit picky on the croissants…

but this was very tasty and delicious🥰

I didn’t take a picture of it🙄

-but it was the usual OBC an reduced deposit. 
 

and side number 2 was for Galapagos. 11-days Quito or 16-days Peru. 
For us/can they offer 750$ for airfare voucher to use on flights by X(this is not available for Nordic guests) 

And they are offering a discount up to 1500$ and if you are elite or higher you get a loyalty discount. And they are all good together. 

I will see if I can get a new paperwork.

So glad you like it.. Full disclosure @Jim_Iain got me started on them and I have not looked back.  They are even better than the ones from our local bakery.   I was sad on our December 2021 Reflection B2B when they ran out of almonds on the 2nd leg.  Fortunately we only had three more breakfast left when that happened and I managed to get by without them. 

 

[Norwaylady]

What a lovely meeting❤️ 

lovely couple from US is booked on Viking in July from Reykjavik to Bergen. It’s a really good itinerary that goes to Longyearbyen, Spitzbergen- Honningsvåg-Tromsø-Narvik-Leknes-Geiranger-Bergen. It’s a home run for Mr😂😍

 

So they will enjoy a lot of 🇳🇴. 

Very happy to answer their questions and packing tips. ( remember I/we go there often) So very happy for them🥰

 

I’m very happy to be asked🙃 

 

Now it’s time to get dressed for evening chic. Tonight is lobster night.

So very nice of you to take the time to talk with them.  I absolutely love and appreciate the passion people have for cruising and their willingness to help.  I have Norway on my cruising bucket list...I know who to ask when that day comes 😊.

Thank you.  I appreciate it.

New paperwork from Future cruises on the bed. 
It only had 1 side, not the 2.page Galapagos 

[Norwaylady]

Tonight’s show is CeCe Teneal. 

Portrait of Aretha. 

 

We kicked off the evening by a cocktail in Craft Social before the show. 

 

Tonight’s show was great. The orchestra was on fire and this lady is a very talented singer 🎶🎶🎶 So really my cup of tea🥰 

 

Again, the officers and captain was in gran foyer. I have never seen them all so often. They are all out and about. 
 

The Martini Bar did a martini flight tonight before dinner. It’s the first we actually seen on this cruise. (Can’t say we have hang around here…) But it’s always fun🤩👏🏻

 

 

Mr had one of the glasses from the flight 

 

 

Tonight’s dinner is the famous lobster 🦞 day…. 

As everyone knows, you must pay for your 2. Lobster 🦞. But here’s where things get a bit weird or just idiotic for me…

I’m really happy for lobster 🦞 but I prefer a Norwegian lobster 🦞 ( they are really good and size is much bigger) 

So we always order 2, one for mr and one for me. Then we order a 3 dinner. (Mine dinner, typically the duck) at the same time. Mr gets his lobster 🦞 and I get my dinner…… Great, everything is good and all are happy🥰 (we are 2 guests and we are eating 2 lobsters 🦞, so no bonanza for more than people in our booking) 

BUT

Wait a second…… 

(I’m sorry to inform you that they can’t order 3 dinners from start…. They must order 2 AND then you need to ask/return plate for a new order) So that means, one can have dinner and one must wait for a new dish. 

This was not our dining staff, but supervisor decided…. And they were walking around like eagles 🦅overlooking this process….. Come on guys😳🙄🫤

 

So the rice pilaff is decent when it has some drops of soy sauce. (It’s almost a fried rice😋) 

Happy Cruising⚓️ 

 

 

Tonight’s menu: 

Kale salad

 

Salmon tartare ( usually very good, but this was so salty🫥) 

 

Lobster (supervisors job tonight was to take them out and have full control of plates matching guests…) 

 

Cheese soufflé (don’t serve this to a French guest…..) Mr had a pice and said no🙈

Apple pie

 

Baked Alaska 

 

After dinner…. Well you know. 
Good Night 😴

Enjoying your review. We were on the Silhouette Feb. 27 - March 9. I don't eat seafood. I was able to order a lobster dinner and chicken dinner at the same time. My husband was happy to eat my lobster. Too bad they are controlling the ordering process. It does appear that there are some additional menu items currently that weren't available for our cruise. 

It looks like you're enjoying beautiful weather. Have a wonderful vacation. 

 

 

[Travelexpert35]

Loving your review!! I’m curious to what cruise you booked for 2025 with the future cruise desk. 

[Norwaylady]

Rise & Shine😎

Sun is shining, I took it slowly in bed. Reading the newspaper and just waiting for Mr to wake up…..

 

We had a great news waiting on our voice mail yesterday evening🙃 

Our special request will happen🥳🤩🎁

So I’m very happy for it and our nephew will have a real treat on his gift table on his confirmation in May…..(it will be fun see how long it takes before our nephew understands the gift or rest of the family😅🤩⚓️) 

 

Mr knows that if you receive a gift from me, you need to check it or study it carefully….. The details will probably give you a hint or two…..

 

When my mother was given a cruise from us. ( I took her on Jewel in Dubai) She had a water bottle for Christmas….. (it was a bottle mail) but she didn’t open the bottle or check it out further…. She just read the card on the gift saying she was occupied from then to then….

(We celebrated Christmas by Mr’s family) 

So she didn’t find the packing list…

 

She called me a few days before departure and asked if smart casual was okay. (I didn’t think about it, to ask if she had opened the bottle) 

 

So we left for Dubai, she was super happy for warm weather and a fancy hotel on the palm pre cruise🥰

In the morning I told her, we need to pack up… we are leaving for next part of our adventure…..

I gave her an envelope holding the luggage tags. (She’s seen them before when we cruise)……..

 

 

 

 

She was so happy🥹🥹🥹

 

My father is very homey… and when you mention cruises for him… he’s bringing out all prejudices he can find…..

 

So then the girls can have fun together🥰🤩🥳😎

 

Back to our day😎

Breakfast in Tuscan. Mini bagels, fruit etc. Happy Mr😘 

 

At 11.00 the captain will speak in the theatre. It’s the ocean ahead talk+ Q/A after. Mr always enjoy this. 

I’m preparing for a walk on deck💪🏻

Maybe in Norway they allow marriages when girls are 10? 🤷‍♀️🤣🤣
