There wasnโt one today. I bit the bullet and got a sweatshirt. They had a beautiful jacket on sale but unfortunately I donโt fit into an XXXL. ๐ The sweatshirt should be quite warm - it seems well made and since it has HALโs name on it, at least I got the Mariner discount. There would have been a lot more choice if I got a lot bigger and a smidge more if I was a bit smaller. LOL.

OMG on the entertainment on board. On the Volendam we have the Mix as opposed to the Music Walk. it is fabulous. Our piano man (a REAL piano man) is wonderful - great sense of humour - a lot o variety and fun. We have a lovely pianist playing at different times and a wonderful singer with an absolutely beautiful voice performing. Iโll take this talent over Music Walk any day. (I know thatโs very subjective) but they are good and believe me, itโs packed. Our piano man -

Ok still in catch up mode from what didnโt go this morning. So, last night I went down to the MDR once the dinner rush was over and there was Aris at the podium. (Some of you might remember him as manager of Club Orange on the Pinnacle Class ships). He is in charge of our section of the dining room. I asked if he had a minute to chat and nicely told him our waiter was abysmal. Doesnโt refill water glasses, wine, (doesnโt even have the opened wine out ready), no comments when food is undated, doesnโt ask about how the meal was nor have any knowledge of the Club Orange specials, etc. I told him I thought he needed more training but I was not prepared to sit there and asked if her could help. We are now at a table for 6 (which is what I had originally requested) although it appears we might be the only ones there. thatโs fine. Our waiters are superb. Just how it should be. The wine was boyfriend fast and will be ther the next time ready. Club Orange menu provided. Both are congenial and wonderful. Dinner last night was night and day compared to dinner the prior 2. So glad I spoke up (as if you could keep me quiet ๐) Dinner was delish - good service really helps ๐ I had the seafood devilled eggs Debbie the Tabbouleh the club Orange short ribs - delish. So tender you only needed a fork. No knife required. Boston Cream pie for Deb and Strawberry crisp for me. when a crisp is on the menu you have to take advantage ๐ All in all very good and we left two very happy campers - or is that Merry Widows ๐ Doing a birthday dinner in the PG tonight for Deb and of course, we let our new waiters know.

LOL. Might not be the best kept secret but fortunately people on board donโt plan ahead. I figured I was too late for another booking for lunch and it was wide open. ๐ You are not alone. It was a one and done for me too. too many other wonderful things to see. Unless Debbie orders it you will not see candied bacon in my pics.

So good we have another reservation for our last sea day,

We are in Newport today . Colts dreary and damp day. Pictures were pretty useless as you can see here. All the tenders are back and we will be leaving soon and look at what just came out. Our time was shortened here due to the need to travel slowly to Boston. 10 knots due to marine traffic -whales
