Tonight when we went down to Vines for our pre-dinner vino, we found this sign. Apparently, Canadian rules only allow one open bar per deck while in Canadian waters. We had never heard of this ridiculous rule! We walked to the Crown Grill Bar and found it 5 people deep with a line down the hallway! We walked to The Catch hoping to get a "good" glass of wine. Mario, the Restaurant Manager, was pulling his hair out because all of their wines had been locked up and they were having to run to the Concerto MDR service bar to pick up wine for his diners. Same situation at Alfredo's Pizzeria. Crazy!!! We will have the same situation tomorrow in Victoria. There are also a bunch kids running around now. There are close to 500 under 18 yr olds onboard. The majority of the new passengers will be disembarking in 3 days in Seattle. There has definitely been a shift in "energy" onboard now.

We had a great day with our dear friend and Vancouver resident, Dena, today. She showed us the highlights of North Vancouver and treated us to a fantastic lunch!

An interesting note, we just received a new mini-bar setup. We didn't get one after the Sydney to Auckland leg. 🤷‍♂️

Thank you! To be honest, I almost didn't do a "Live" for this trip. I was considering retiring from them. I'm 50/50 on doing one for our October trip to the Far East. We'll see... 🥺

@Yehootu You are hilarious!!! It was a pleasure meeting you guys. We look forward to meeting up in Singapore in October. Safe travels!

You can order 6 bottles at a time by calling Room Service if you have either Premier or the Plus Package.

Good morning Vancouver!

Those were the numbers we were also given...

Tonight we had the last wine that we purchased in Sydney. It was so-so, we rated the wine 86 points. Very thin, not characteristic of a Cabernet Sauvignon. One more bottle in our cellar, from New Zealand.

🤷‍♂️ We will be in Vancouver on Thursday, Victoria on Friday, sea day on Saturday, and disembark on Sunday.
