[mking8288]

Hi, Dexddd ...

 

Beer Belly, those luggage wrap & tags were avavilable in their online store, before. Yes, Charry is still onboard & exceptionally nice & helpful. I say hi to her for you.

 

We had a great cabin crawl & slot pull. They wanted to do a slot pull #2 tomorrow again, lol.

Really enjoying your review so far! We're thinking about booking the Escape to Bermuda for May 2019. Thank you for including the menus as well!

Too busy trying  to keep people together on the cabin crawl to take pix, here's mking8288's OV - an unexpected upgrade bid assigned almost at cutoff deadline. 

 

Spotted a ship to our starboard, RCI Anthem ? starboard ... sorry, dirty window. More on the new NCL App later.

 

O'Sheehan's Menu here. LeBistro this evening, more later

I found the App to be very useful.  However, it drained the hell out of my battery!  I did not have wifi.  I just put my phone on airplane mode and accessed the App.  I am not a techie by any means.  LOL!  Maybe I did something wrong?  The App gave me everything I needed and worked well for me (other than draining the battery).  Enjoy your cruise! 🙂

Bon Jour, from Le Bistro

Great live review. Thanks for bringing us along!

[mking8288]

Last night's show, After Midnight.

Tonight: The Brat Pack ... excellent show. Book it and don't miss it.

What is the green "ball" dish at Le Bistro?  Artichoke?

 

[dexddd]

Ask Charry if her husband is Jefferson.  If she says 'yes', tell her you've been watching him and he has been naughty (Jefferson was our butler in June and he said his wife was the HD's secretary but we never met her).

[mking8288]

Almost there, seas 8.5 ft. doing 10 knot, about 70 nm to Dockyard.  Ship got plenty setup for Halloween partying tonight.

 

 

Greenball starter dish was crab salad, very tasty good.

Almost there, a picture is worth a thousand words ... speak for themselves.

Weren’t you guys supposed to berth at 0700? Showing you all stop at anchorage outside the channel. Did someone overstay their welcome at Kings Wharf? Aida, Disney, and Carnival all at Kings Wharf, threes a crowd there!

 

As always great thread. 

[mking8288]

Live on Project Fi's Bermuda Digicel 4G H speed data connection, anchor north of St. George's waiting for the ship at Dockyard to sail so that we can claim Heritage Wharf to dock, soon ...

[mking8288]

A great dinner at Moderno tonight, starting w the salad bar and closed out with coffee & dessert. Docked starboard side facing the Pier ... Dexddd, perfect spot outside our Oceanview window for Pier runners on Friday.  

 

Picture of the fast ferry docked opposite the ship, and music heard across Clocktower Mall ... Halloween party on the ship & nearby tonight.

Active & busy Dockyard at 8 pm locally, folks coming back to the ship already from their evening walk in the area.  Moderno was only about 50% full tonight.

[mking8288]

A long line coming back to the ship at 8:35 pm. Gangway is open all night long.

 

[mking8288]

It's been party time, Halloween mode, everywhere ... But, some folks that hit concrete a little after 6 started coming home early, thru our OV window. Free NCL ferry is running tomorrow & Friday to St. George's, first come first serve ... lines.

[mking8288]

Good night from Spice H2O & Garden Cafe ...

 

Getting a good 4G LTE cellular signal up here but nothing seen about Dockyard's paid WiFi SSiD like before !

See you are parked behind DCL Magic.  Seems DCL has been there the past couple weeks.  Good thing the captain didn't goose the Mouse on the way in.

 

Have a good couple days in Bermuda.  Will be watching for runners on Friday.  Show us your pier strut as ship leaves on Friday.

[mking8288]

Rise n shine, breakfast & time to step off the ship. Ferry to St. George's.

 

[mking8288]

We are on our way, ferry is fast & smooth, a 25 minutes ride over - 4G LTE cellular signal.

Upstairs inside the ferry, power outlet by the tables. 

 

What a scenic ride & beautiful SG.

Coming back on the NCL ferry to the Escape, a beautiful evening with sunset view outside our window.

 

MDR menu tonight.

 

* * Good news ** we will be dancing on the Pier at 4:15 pm with all abroad changed to 4:30 pm, per Captain's PA announcement, ship sailing at 5 pm and last SG ferry leave at 3 pm. Still going to be back in NY on-time.

Hi, there. Wasn't that a great dinner. We are sitting on the Waterfront now, post-dinner & enjoying ... Slot Pull #3 - Saturday morning, 11 AM at the WOF machine again, pass the word to those that missed #2 or didn't made #2 😂 ... the backhanded spin.

 

Thanks to everyone for a great turnout for the Meet & Mingle. 

 

Now, what are we going to do with that extra 2 hours on the islands. Cheers going up over dinner when the announcement was repeated.
