Crazy For Cats

Most likely.

Good Afternoon, thanks for today’s daily fleet report. We are off the ship and safely home. The dirty clothes from the cruise are washed and put away. I’ll need to figure out where to put some of the souvenirs. I have no idea what’s for lunch and dinner but suspect neither of us will cook. @StLouisCruisers I agree with others please check in with your PCP when you get home. Very scary situation. I hope everyone has a good day today.

I think it’s $800 but I could be wrong.

Mine wasn’t near the limit this cruise.

If your on board spending is less than the allowed amount you will not need to go to customs. If you qualify to be seen you will get a notice on your last full day. The disembarkation line seemed to move quickly.

In Bar Harbor it was immigration only. They want to check on anyone who shopped on board until the ship docked at Boston.

Good Morning, we has to go through customs this morning. We were required to be in the dining room at 6:45, ship docked shortly after 7, agents arrived at 7:30. No one was happy. HAL did not provide any updates or serve breakfast. Some guests had 8:15 excursions. After a quick breakfast in the lido disembarking was quick. I noticed a long line of taxis waiting for guests. Big change from last year.

It was a short wait.

Today is Bar Harbor day. It is a very brisk day and some shops aren't ready for the season. I recommend bringing a bag along with you if you plan on shopping. Some stores aren't giving out bags and others are charging a fee for a bag. On our return trip to the ship HAL had hot chocolate in the waiting area and is was hot and very good.

Immigration schedule.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Fluff knew that she was loved.

Good Morning from Bar Harbor, thanks for today's daily fleet report. I'll pass on today's meal suggestion. We will be in the Canaletto tonight for our last dinner on the Zaandam. Once immigration is finished we will get on a tender and walk around town. I forgot to mention that during yesterday's mariner event the host said that all ships eill have Starlink by the end of the year. They will keep the old system in place as a backup. Also, a change from the past. The mariner drink cards can now be used for any drink. Not just the special drink.

Today's daily program.

Good Morning, last night we skipped the main stage entertainment and watched "Dog". The current movie on demand selections are pretty good. Something new about the Mariner drink card we received. This time we could get any drink we wanted. It didn't need to be the special mariner cocktail.

I don't think we had any rough seas. The Zaandam has been good through out the cruise.

This afternoon we had lunch in the Pinnacle Grill. We both had a burger and they were cooked to perfection. Additionally the service was excellent. We also attended a 5* mariner reception. There were only 15 of us. They held this event since no one on the ship was getting a medallion.

Good Evening, we attended a 5* event this afternoon. The host shared some news for the grand voyages. They will be bringing in guest chefs, cooking demonstrations will be back, guest speakers, more activities, more Gala nights and more dressy nights. In all they are trying to bring back as much as they can to make the grand voyages Grand.

We went to the City on the Sea and thought it interesting. They brought out some of the crew at the end.

Good Morning from a very wet Zaandam. Thanks for today's daily fleet report. Only two things on today's agenda, lunch at the PG and a 5* event in the Mix. We even were called to make sure we were going to the event. I'm still working on using my CCL cash but that will disappear with lunch. I hope everyone has a good day today.

Sorry, I don't use the casino.

Today's daily program.

Part of my cruise planning I thought I'd use the breakfast delivery menu for morning coffee. Reality is I didn't use it since we really didn't know when we would wake up. I've been going to the lido and bringing back coffee to the room. It's a quick trip. The breakfast menu.

We are nearing the end of our week on deck 3. I wouldn't hesitate to book this cabin again. The only thing that you must plan for is having only 1 outlet. I bought a device that converts the one outlet to three and three USB ports. Makes it easy to recharge devices overnight while DH uses his CPAP. I also think I'd be ok in an inside cabin.

On this itinerary happy hour pricing is 50% off your drinks. It's held in the Ocean Bar and Ctows Nest at 4. Then again at 10 in the Crows Nest. Interestingly DH'S Bacardi 8 cost more in Crows Nest than Ocean Bar. After dinner in the lido we went to the 7 pm show. It was Sid Davis and he was funny and the room was packed. We also sent out another bag of laundry this morning and it was returned by 8:30. Excellent turn around. I haven't checked internet speeds but I haven't had any issues on both my phone and tablet. Tomorrow is a sea day and it's supposed to be rainy.

Security was very curious about the large piece, it was wrapped in newspaper and bubble wrap. Luckily I took the picture before it was wrapped. Once they saw the picture they seemed happier. 😀
