Live from the Land of Princess

@ceilidh1 I’m getting better at being a night person. Last night I closed down the bar! This bar closed at 11:00pm, but still…

 

First I thoroughly enjoyed a chocolate martini

 

 

 

 

Then, on a savvy recommendation, I ordered what will now be the first of many Toasted Almonds.

 

The comedian came to the bar and I enjoyed chatting with him until the most offensive, drunk on red wine, foul-mouthed 64 year old with no class or decorum joined in. I had to tell her to stop touching me and to respect my space.

First we lose another hour, then we have extra early immigration.

Afternoon tea

It was a one photo, one pineapple Prosecco, two mini egg sandwiches kind of event

[YVRteacher]

Today is a sea day.

 

Need more action.

Stairs with no door.

A door with no stairs.

Keep an eye out for a horse with no name.

Relax ... good afternoon to you.  You just need a good night cap later.  We love and would chase beautiful sunset, especially when we are on the Pacific side of the ocean.  

 

Not to worry, you will soon (should ??) be turning the clock back(ward) in the other direction when crossing into other time zones once heading west.  

[YVRteacher]

Nope. We stay in this time zone.

@YVRteacher  Try the Milky Way martini - my favorite! 🍸

So enjoying your review and photos!

Question, what’s the kid count on this cruise? Some, many,?

Loving all 43 pages of your review, your student are very lucky to have you for their teacher. Just remembered another drink, have you tried the Amerretto Martini (I like the one with Desarano) sorry for the spelling my spell check keeps correcting me ☺️.

Keep us posted, looking forward to Panama Canal next May now on the Island.

Hmmm ... ooooh, "America" 1971 ... remember one of my older cousin had just came home from his 'Nam service in 72 and riding in his car, listening to AM radio.  

To get away from life's confusion into a quiet, peaceful place

That sounds delicious!

 

Enjoy your trip through the canal.

Happy Hour today included a first for Good Spirits: how to make a Tito’s with soda and a splash of cranberry. Not only were we treated to the demonstration but a recipe card was carefully crafted.

 

 

I now have a complete set of Good Spirits cocktail recipe cards. Yay!

 

My drinks this afternoon were a Prosecco with pineapple and a birthday cocktail (it is not my birthday: the mixologist felt like making one.)

There was nearly a bar brawl today over whether the drapes should be open to let in the stunning views and sunshine or shut to keep the light out.  For the record, I am on team sunshine.

I’m glad you finally tried the Toasted Almond Martini! One of the bartenders at the Good Spirits bar recommended it when I was looking for something different. Sometimes I order a double. Looks like they forgot to sprinkle a little cocoa on top.

There are 100 guests under the age of 21.

 

Two years ago for Spring Break on the NCL Bliss there were 1200 kids (under the age of 18) on board.

Are those the “regular” buffet desserts? I’ve usually only seen them plated. (Aside from the cookies) They look so good!

These are plated fancy and are in the refrigerated display case. They will give them to you if you ask. The grab and go ones are in the lower refrigerated section next to this glass case.

I did San Francisco to NY and loved it.
