My View: Live from a Back2Back Adventure on the Seas

[Getting out there]

Post 235 Why would you sign up for a kids soda package at any bar? Sounds like it's different from adult.

Adventure doesn’t have a dedicated Starbucks like the Oasis class, does it?

 

Are the Starbucks drinks on Adventure included with the coffee card?

 

Enjoying your review.

No dedicated Starbucks on AD. The coffee card includes specialty coffees anywhere on the ship, whether or not they use Starbucks beans.

It has been a fantastic, but very hot day in Portland. I have tons of pictures- more than I can post tonight! I will have to catch up tomorrow...

 

For now, here is the menu for tonight:

They celebrated Canada Day on the ship:

A few of my favorite views in the city:

Tip: To get to the piece of Berlin wall and these views, exit the port and turn left on Commercial Street. It is a 10-15 minute walk:

 

 

 

 

 

 

You could also rent a bike right by the port, which I would have done, had we not booked the duck tour:

I am getting up at 4:30 a.m. for the sunrise, so I will post more about Portland tomorrow [emoji846]

Stadium seating is reserved for suites/ gold card holders:

 

Toddler pool rules:

 

 

The pool water was pretty cold. It was also very crowded by the pool, since we have a sold out cruise with many kids. At one point, I counted 19 people (adults and kids) in one of the hot tubs. We did not spend much time at the pools. We definitely prefer the quiet of the balcony on sea days.

Can you explain where the stadium seating is and when suite guests would use reserved seats there? Never noticed this on other ships - except for the water acrobatic show.

The stadium seating is around the pools by the bar. It has a sign that the seating is reserved for gold card holders. I will see if I can get a better picture today. They have the special cushioned loungers, and are mainly used during the day when people tan/swim. I have not gone to a movie under the stars yet, so I can not report on how that works. [emoji846]

Continuing with my views of Portland...

 

The Duck Tour was only an hour long, and a great way to get some historical and interesting facts about Maine and Portland.

 

For those who do not know, a “duck” is a bus that is also a boat. We did a drive around the city first, then drove down the boat ramp into the bay. We then toured the bay before returning to land.

 

We booked the tour privately in advance. It was $28 per adult and $25 for the seniors in our group.

The Duck Tour sounds like a fun tour! Is it walking distance from the ship?

Yes, it leaves from the area where the piece of the Berlin Wall is - about 10-15 minutes to walk along Commercial Street.

[suesnake2002]

The birds you saw in the nest are ospreys. Also known as sea eagles.
