Rare mking8288 Posted 15 hours ago Author #101 Share Posted 15 hours ago (edited) We set sail for Portland a few minutes earlier than 9 PM with all onboard ... and, there are crew members rotation here, reporting with paperwork. GigSky signal is back, was not able to reconnect when we left Boston and T-Mobile/Google Fi signal was no longer usable at sea. Menus ... The ones from Cunard are nicer and no charge.

Some may be interested to know how long the outage is between when you lose land-based cell and the time the ship cell tower goes live. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mking8288 Posted 11 hours ago Author #105 Share Posted 11 hours ago Parking here is free 😁 and on a first come, first serve basis. Jewel of the Seas also here, ship has come to a full stop. Gangway being set-up but not cleared for the 1,000 yards dash to go ashore. With 3 ships, we have the longest walk. The crowd has already lined up for the race. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That all looks great. In Portland I went to Eventide Oyster Company for the brown butter lobster roll and then to Duckfat for the duck fat fries and a salad (because of course I have to eat healthy 😅). And yes, I ate twice for lunch. Enjoy your lobster feast. Edited 7 hours ago by Sugar Magnolia 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the heck, might as well check out the Lido / buffet You are becoming quite an Indian food fan!😉I think I saw it in other food pictures from you. What is that tart?

Rare Sugar Magnolia Posted 3 hours ago #122 Share Posted 3 hours ago 55 minutes ago, mking8288 said: How does these compare against NCL's Garden Cafe / buffet options & choices The buffets on the NCL Breakaway and Breakaway+ class ships have great variety. The smaller buffets on the Prima class ships are definitely more limited, and that is on top of the hand to hand combat for seating on a sea day. Indulge Food Hall for the win. However, nothing I've seen so far matches the Princess buffets on the Discovery or on the Princess ships which YVRteacher recently posted. The NCL fleet has become fancy and is beginning to move from Lipton to Bigelow. You can find scones during "afternoon tea" but authentic clotted cream remains a sore point for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mking8288 Posted 3 hours ago Author #123 Share Posted 3 hours ago (edited) It's E311, Canadian Customs Declaration Form completion time, just received this ... placed on our bed as we return to the cabins. Will have 2 to 3 hours to fill it out and turn them into our steward for collection. Folks still out on shorex will have less time, especially if they have early dining time, with all abroad by 5:30 PM and sail at 6 PM. Royal could've distributed this a day earlier, to give passengers more time to leisurely fill it out & sign them. Tonight, we also fast forward ship time by 1 hour to Atlantic Time Zone at 2 AM, turning it to 3 AM. Laundry Special "deal" at $35 fill a paper bag special, about the same size as NCL's - maybe slightly taller/longer.
