Almost there & sunrise was 6:58 Thanks all for the tips and suggestions, as well as requests to check things out ... will do. Breakfast in Windjammer Mrs. M noticed that, as do I, sounds of coughing had gone up & heard on a more regular & frequent basis, nor a sign of healthy cruising. Use of masks are up, from just 1 or 2 % to as much as 8 to 10%, midway thru this cruise. Gigsky Canada eSim has a signal now. The “Cunard Cough” has followed you to RCI… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare bedfordmom Posted Monday at 04:53 PM #182 Share Posted Monday at 04:53 PM Love that Royal still offers smoked salmon in the windjammer something that NCL has not done for 15 years as I don’t like going to sit down breakfast just for my salmon fix. I also like the mini avocado toast which NCl does not offer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mking8288 Posted Monday at 07:49 PM Author #188 Share Posted Monday at 07:49 PM (edited) From the tech corner, we are - here at Sydney, NS until we set sail - on our own Google Fi home cellular plan with 5G coverage. GigSky eSim plan are active as Sim2 on our smartphone and iPhone, as always, YMMV being hardware specific and dependent. Voom pricing for unlimited use thru end of this cruise, is now as below for 5 days. Wait until midnight, will be 1 less day of charges. 10% discount not shown here.

Rare mking8288 Posted Monday at 10:37 PM Author #192 Share Posted Monday at 10:37 PM Tonight's feature presentation in the main theater, main production show - Saturday Night Fever: The Musical Wow, what a show that was - live and on stage, great sets & costumes and high energy casts ... brings back memories from the Jean Ann Ryan Productions of the old NCL days of 20 some years ago. Doors opened at 5:15 with plenty of good seating despite the lines & crowd waiting. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mking8288 Posted Monday at 11:39 PM Author #195 Share Posted Monday at 11:39 PM (edited) Mary & Alex, enjoy your stop next week at Sydney. Ship should dock next to The Big Fiddle, town center & main street shops are 10 minutes walk, slight uphill. There is a town shuttle if ship is docked further north like the Gem today. Leaving for Libson soon or there already? Have a great cruise ! Edited Monday at 11:40 PM by mking8288 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
