Crazy For Cats

After DH took advantage of some sun and laid out on the balcony. After a quick lunch from the taco bar we walked around the city for awhile. Tonight's dinner was in the Pinnacle Grill. I had the mandatory bacon. Tonight I tried the pork chop. After dinner we met up with a pride group and had some nice conversations.

While making dinner reservations the concierge apologized for the internet interruption yesterday. We didn’t notice. She received reports from the Nieuw Statendam that the internet is poor and that those guests expecting good internet connections during the VOV will be disappointed.

We are back to Quebec this morning and it's a cloudy start. Will probably get off the ship once we think stores open. If it rains we'll stay onboard so we don't melt. Today's When and Where

Turn around day was a rather easy. We walked around Montreal and picked up a few souvenirs. After a very quiet lunch we relaxed on the ship. At three there was a 3,4 and 5 star reception. Drinks flowed easily. No testing or muster station was required so that was nice. Dinner was in the lido despite the app saying we had MDR reservations.

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily fleet report. Back to Quebec on a cloudy day. All aboard is 3:30 so it will be a few hours of walking around town once we think things open. The meal suggestion sounds good and may have it for lunch. I hope that everyone has a good day today.

Finally tried the Pinnacle for breakfast. Service and food were good. On the way back to the cabin a stretcher was following me on deck 7 with a bunch of crew. I hope whomever they were gathering is ok.

Good Morning from Montreal. Thanks for the daily fleet report. It's a beautiful day, nothing is planned. We may walk around town for a bit. I'll pass on the meal suggestion and have no idea what's on the menu for tonight. I hope that everyone has a good day today. After last night's show we saw a double rainbow.

Good Morning, today is turn around day. Today's When and Where

Leaving Quebec. After dinner in the lido we watched the second Cantare show. Not bad but once was enough. After the show we saw a double rainbow.

Good Afternoon, we walked up to the Citadel this morning. They haven't done the changing of the guard ceremony in three years, thanks to Covid. Today however we were there in time for the 21 canon salute. Very nice to witness. Walking back we saw the following on the outside of the Citadel.

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily fleet report. I'm with @dfish and will pass on today's meal suggestion. We are approaching Quebec and should be docked by 9. Thunder storms were in the forecast for today. So far the weather looks good.

Good Morning, Today's When and Where.

So far I haven't seen them. It didn't occur to me to look for them.

Tonight we had dinner in the Canaletto. We had reservations for 6 pm. At the 50 minute mark we finally received our entrée. We were a bit surprised that the service was so slow. The manager said it was because they had a large table. We weren't the only guests disappointed in the service. We made it just in time for the 7:30 show. It was the One Step Dancers with the Piano Bar singer and someone from the Ocean Bar band. The show was better than last night's show. However, the dancers added nothing to the show. We both thought that we would have enjoyed it if it was just with the two singers. Tonight was also Chocolate Surprise night. Chocolate never disappoints. Our second towel animal.

This morning we were invited to a Mariner recognition event. It was for five star and President Club members. No awards were presented. Champagne and mimosa flowed freely. We also gor our pictures taken with the captain. After a brief rest we had lunch in the Pinnacle Grill. I had the chicken lemongrass soup and it was very good. It may have been the mimosas but I ordered the Alaska Black Cod sandwich. DH ordered the beef tri tip sandwich. We cut them in half so we could try each. The cod sandwich was OK, DH liked it.(I'm not a big fish eater) The beef sandwich was very good. I then had the lemon sorbet. Then off to the dining room for the wine tasting.

Good Morning from the Zaandam as we head to Quebec. Thanks for the daily fleet report. Today's meal suggestion sounds interesting and I'd give it a try. Lunch will be at Pinnacle, dinner at Canaletto and sandwiched between is the wine tasting. I hope everyone has a good day today.

Good Morning, Today's When and Where.

Last night's Orange Party wasn't as well attended as hoped. It was held in the Crows Nest and they played music for dancing. Snacks were served and the ones I tried were good. It was held at 9 so we watched the sunset.

Tonight was the first time we saw long lines in the lido. The mussels were a hit with those that like that sort of thing. We went to the Step One Dance Company Musicology show. DH thought it ok while I thought it more like a high school production. The dancers are talented but all music and vocals were prerecorded. The Orange Party is at 9 tonight and has a happy hour attached to it.

The current future cruise deposit. On board booking versus at home booking is interesting.

We took a private sale offer on Eurodam in March. I was offered an upsell and took it. Our current sailings, B2B. On Zaandam and I called in for an upsell and was offered a reasonable price for the two cruises.

We walked around town today and picked up some chocolate covered potato chips. Also got some chocolate covered ginger. @dfish two views of the terminal

They are still there.

@1ANGELCAT I’m sorry to hear about Jaguar.

There are shops in the terminal. Probably about half of the previous years.
