I have not sailed with either Manoel or Hasan in a long time. I hope you are having a wonderful time minus the weather. Where I live (about 400 miles South and East of Vancouver, B.C., we are having very hot temperatures. Will be about 100 on the 4th of July. Thank you. Wow, that is warm. My son lives in that general area, too. The weather forecast looks good for us when we are in Ketchikan, possibly the last sea day and when we arrive in Vancouver. We will be happy with overcast skies, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Seas2mountains Posted June 27, 2023 Author #254 Share Posted June 27, 2023 New-to-me drink. Dark and stormy. It’s like the Moscow Mule but with rum instead of vodka. I would not order it again as there are other drinks I like more than this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Seas2mountains Posted June 28, 2023 Author #261 Share Posted June 28, 2023 The number of guests on this asking is almost 1800 but was not given an exact number after asking two different guest services representative. Number of children under 18 years old is 209. 😳 I think that is more than I expected for a ship with limited kid related programming and no Splash Academy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Seas2mountains Posted June 28, 2023 Author #263 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Here is a really neat area in Spinnaker lounge. I haven’t seen this on other NCL ships. There are two of these elevated areas with one on each side. I’m guessing that people probably had these reserved early for Hubbard Glacier and they have usually been taken when we have come up to Spinnaker. It’s not foggy tonight. 😀 Just overcast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare YVRteacher Posted June 28, 2023 #264 Share Posted June 28, 2023 (edited) @Seas2mountains I hope you have a great day in Seward tomorrow. I know it’s one of your favourite ports. It was cold and quite windy when we were there (and of course I still loved it!) Doesn't it feel great not to be packing your suitcases tonight? B2B are fabulous!

Rare tsahall01 Posted June 28, 2023 #269 Share Posted June 28, 2023 The mini-beer is my now favorite drink--I sip it. First discovered it on the Epic TA last April. Unfortunately, I was on the Epic again in September and December and was not able to get it!! So happy to see it is available again on some ships--I will try again on the Breakaway in September and the Jade in November. I like your idea of trying a new drink everyday--I'm going to try it out. I usually stick to wine as I'm a pretty light drinker, aka a cheap date! LOL! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B2B are fabulous! What is your hubby enjoying most on this cruise? Thank you. We do love this port! Well, we do have to pack our suitcases as we have to switch our room. We booked a balcony guarantee rate in May which was much less than the rate that allowed us to choose our stateroom. We saved enough to deal with the hassle of packing and switching. At least we get to stay on the ship this morning if we don’t want to get off. We did try a few phone calls to NCL to check into having the same room but it wasn’t possible based on our booking. My husband says he loves the time we have together, the cruising experience, the amazing crew, and the unique areas on the Spirit. His other favorite ships are the Jewel, Gem and Sun. One more week for you and Dad! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Seas2mountains Posted June 28, 2023 Author #272 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Good morning from beautiful Seward. We had a nice evening listening to B12 and watching the silly Battle of the Sexes game show. Most areas seemed quiet as people must have gone back to pack or to go to bed early. We are excited for 7 more days. Wow, that’s a good amount of drink suggestions! Thank you! Now off to pack to change rooms. We are on the same deck but change sides. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDebreuil Posted June 28, 2023 #273 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I see in the program that the 'Sail and Sustain' cocktail is only available at the Great Outdoors bar. Do the other bars specialize in certain types of drinks? I'm familiar with Magnum's (whiskey), Shaker's (Martinis) and Sugarcane (Mojitos) that they have on some other ships. On the Jewel ships I was able to get an old fashioned with a proper big ice cube in Magnum's, but no big ice cubes to be found anywhere else. Also, I think I see Starbucks vending machine's in the photos. I'm assuming that those are not included in the Starbucks, nor Premium package. Can anyone confirm that?
