Nice that the wine was offered at a wine tasting. I discovered it at a Cellar Master dinner and when I saw it was in package #3, I had to order that package. 🙂 We did try a few others but this was became our wine du sour in the MDR. 🙂

You are indeed very late to the game - I’m sorry but the May 11th Bon Voyage thread was done last Saturday. I’m happy to add your June 1st sailing though 🙂 I hope you enjoy your two first solo and longer cruises 🙂

Aww - how kind of you. ❤️. I didn’t mean to make extra work for you. 😢 Thank you SO very much for your help over the years with the FCL. 💜

The escargots ( I spoke to the chef about them when she cae around to the tables on the last Gala night and made suggestions ) and the crème brûlée (scorched and undercooked). Hard to understand when so much of the food was really very good.

We got something similar on a longer cruise. Did not receive it on our 13 day nor the previous 15 day, I think RuthC is correct in the longer ones.

I posted his info and company a bit ago. Gilbert Garcia, he owns the company and he is the only one that does this. I did a lot of research. I highly recommend him. tout was $135 for 3 hours for the 2 of us and we both thought it was well worth it. you ride and he pedals.

I could buy the good curd in Ontario too. the curd here is refrigerated, not fresh and not squeaky, sadly. The curd I got in Quebec was not as good as the Riverview curd IMO but it was a lot better than what I can get here, I’m fussy 😉

Our final dinner. soring rolls , sweet and sour shrimp I had the banan custard and Deb her first baked Alaska and our staff said good bye to an Indonesian song and for the record, our favourite eine

Our tout also included a visit to the market. Beautiful cheese shop (I got my curd), pastries, smoked meat, cider, flowers, etc and delectable sweets. Leaving Quebec taken from the sea view pool.

this church is massive and so beautiful, sadly the congregation has declined and cannot afford the maintenance so it sits empty, 😔 circuses have bought some of the churches and practice and perform in them. anotmher original house except the garage of course. loved this mural telling the story of Samuel de Champlain.

Can you envision using these steps in winter? Or even clearing them off? rhe original warehouses for storage from the ships still being put to use yes people really use these stairs - a lot!

It’s a beautiful city hotel Frontenac rising above all very old area. Houses rebuilt after the wooden ones burned down long ago. no wooden balconies permitted and metal roofs for fire as well, the oldest church in North America according to Gilbert had to take the obligatory oicture 😉♥️ one of the original houses still standing next to the huge architecture

We made a stop and Gilbert knocked at the house next door and the door next to it was unlocked for us to go in. a delightful surprise, a furrier who made furs by hand - new and recycled Our guide this is one of the old storage rooms from centuries ago being put to use.

Quebec…. original spot where the sips would come. A lot of Quebec had to be filled iin, the owner of this establishment discovered some of the old fortifications and kept them preserved. definitely go in here for a drink and see more of them. Our guide raced about it. The typical wooden shutters. Many places are built of brick or concrete after so many wooden homes were destroyed by fire
