Marylebone37, EagleScout66, crusin7:

 

Two more tag-alongs (Jim and Sue) will join you World Cruisers at San Francisco.  Only a few more days to go. 

 

GOARMY!

  

[EagleScout66]

We are down front right

[crusin7]

We spent hours on our balcony watching the birds.  They are a Hoot!

Sunset

 

 

 

 

We went to Compass Rose for dinner.  
Escargot

Fred Flintstone size portion of Chicken Parmigiana.  I ate it all!  Delicious.

 

[GOARMY]

As I never tire (but, my spouse does following about 25 years' repeating same on Radisson/Regent) when opining about escargot to the waiter while ordering same on our first Compass Rose night--

 

that escargot will soon be "escargone".  Response(s) have ranged from a blank stare and awkward silence; to a wink of recognition. In most every case, an immediate apology to Wait Steff from my long-suffering wife.     

 

Five for me; one for Sue. Only order it once (oh, maybe twice) on a cruise segment.  Too rich.   

 

GOARMY!

Oh, now we really feel we're missing out!  Lucky ducks - have a wonderful time 😎

[Bruce61]

Crisy, I’ve seen reports that the front-facing veranda/balcony is virtually unusable when at sea.  Has that been your experience?

[crusin7]

We had a few days where our heads almost blew off.  Yesterday, because of the ship’s speed, we were able to sit out most of the day.  The Panama Canal was spectacular!  Alaska is also stunning from front balcony.  

[crusin7]

Welcome to Puerto Quetzal, Guatemala.  It’s very hazy and smells like there was a recent fire or burning.  

[crusin7]

Look who’s here!

[EagleScout66]

They were burning sugar cane

 

Went to the zoo park. We had a roaring good time

 

had a Gallo beer ( local beer)

 

great tour guide Luis

[crusin7]

We had an Adventure!  30 of us were invited to tour the Grandeur.  We left at 1:10 on a LOCAL bus.  It has very tall steps and was difficult for some to board.

 

We walked through the local Mercado.  We finally made it to the ship.  We were greeted by Daniela, who is now the cruise consultant. We boarded and were met by Captain Ari and GM Franck.  We split in 2 groups.  
Atrium

Compass Rose

Pacific Rim Cherry Tree 

 

 

For me the Tree and Compass Rose are the most impressive.

 

The 1 Million Dollar Faberge Egg

 

Okay back through the Village to get to the bus.

 

 

 

After jamming into the very narrow bus we are on our way.  We are stopped at the security gate upon entering.  Luckily, we have Eddie as our cruise consultant, who is from Argentina. He gets off the bus and speaks to the authorities. Holy Mary mother of God they want us to all depart the bus and go through security.  
 

We are at this checkpoint for at least 15 minutes in the heat. It is 93° with high humidity. Eddie tells us to stay on the bus. There are a few crew members on with us that must depart. They try to make one of the guests leave the bus. He is traveling with his aunt, and he’s much younger than the average world cruiser.  We are all hot and sweaty but we make it back to the ship.

 

 

 

 

[EagleScout66]

We were on board with the captain and Annabelle on Navigator last Oct 

 

booked on Grandeur July 24.

can’t wait 

[EagleScout66]

Ok

 

how many of you own NCLH stock and got an extra $250 shipboard credit?

 

how much shipboard credit did you world cruisers get?

[Ladys Mom]

You get the same $250 no matter how long the cruise beyond 15 days.

Good Night from the Pacific Ocean.  We saw dolphins and whales!  I got photos of lots of empty ocean.  

[Jane Mitchell]

Ah but what a beautiful empty ocean picture it is, Crisy!

[crusin7]

Good Morning from the Pacific Ocean!

 

Last night we had a Big Surprise!  Yippppeeee!

Beautiful picture and I am a bit envious. We are on a different cruise line in the Pacific heading to Hawaii and it has been grey and rocking and rolling for a few days now. The good news is the weather is getting warmer from LA and we can go ashore tomorrow. 

[Gilly]

What a magnificent sky!  There's nothing quite like the skies at sea, is there?

[crusin7]

Outside the Horizon Lounge we had the deck to ourselves!  Beautiful weather and calm seas.
