In general, the early show continued to be SRO for the entire cruise and the entertainment was good. Barry from Boston continued to have large crowds for the first set, and kept the music going until late in the evening. Explorers Lounge and Ocean Bar also had guest each evening.

 

 

This morning we received the new Voyage Log. It is a nice recap of the cruise on two sheets of heavy paper. It is very nice and a bit better than the old version.

 

 

We have had five gala nights, two during the first half and three during the last half. Many people remainded in their gala outfits but quite a few returned to smart casual after dinner.

 

 

The food and service throughout the cruise were very good. The entire crew seemed pleased to be part of the very special cruise.

 

 

The weather has mostly co-operated and we have had moderate temperatures while ashore. Tender operations went smoothly where necessary.

 

 

Tomorrow morning we will arrive in Boston at 6:30am and we will make our way home. An announcement contained the information that a couple hundred passengers will be continuing on to Montreal (lucky them!)

Great, great cruise! Arrived on time in Boston. Immigration on board the ship was a breeze and this dramatically expedited disembarkation for us as we were among the first off the ship. We used Uber to get to our hotel in Revere where our car was parked for 38 days.

 

We have only good things to say about the ship, food, ports and especially the crew. We did have some minor issues with our account and made about 6 visits to Guest Services during the cruise but they were all resolved.

 

We met so many nice people on board and made some new friends. Hope to cruise with them again sometime!

 

Our Cruise Critic M&M's really helped people get acquainted early. It made the cruise much more "friendly" to meet folks we knew in all the ports! We never felt like strangers!

 

Also, special thanks to Fr. Roman, Pastor Pat and Rabbi Elliot for their kind words and continuing prayers during the cruise. We're happy we could share the experience with you!

 

Happy sailing Rich and also to every one reading!

 

Jim and Pam
