Rare Sailing12Away Posted September 13, 2022 Author #176 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Immigration was a bit chaotic from what we heard. Lots of delays, long lines, and people not listening to instructions. They had to stop everything for a bit due to the congestion, and a few medical alerts were called (unknown if they were related to the crowds or folks standing for too long). Haven helped to skip some of the lines, but not all. After getting off the ship there was even more lines, left side for US passport holders, right side for everyone else. Holy Donuts closed at 2pm. We got there with 10 mins to spare but they had already closed up. Walked to another donut place... Closed as well. Finally had success at Hi-fi donuts. Then walked over to the thirsty pig for a sausage and some beer. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sailing12Away Posted September 13, 2022 Author #178 Share Posted September 13, 2022 If you want beer in Portland, find Novare Res Bier Cafe.... Tons of amazing stuff on tap, not a far walk from the ship. First 2 photos are from inside the bathroom at the pig... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sailing12Away Posted September 13, 2022 Author #182 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I had a whole long post written and it looks like CC deleted it. Essentially, the weather has been great, it's 84 here in Portland and I only needed long sleeves once when it was super windy. The beer here is great. I've switched to a frozen lemonade wheat beer shandy mix. Headed back into the ship soonish so I can get a covid test. I don't think I have it, but better safe than sorry before I infect others. Seems like a lot of people have picked up the same cold that Marty & I caught. Washy washy... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowrose Posted September 13, 2022 #185 Share Posted September 13, 2022 For those interested in tours from Halifax be aware that See Sights "Tours" of Peggy's Cove are not a tour, they are a shuttle. They pick you up (hopefully they send you the right address for pick up, we got sent to the furthest terminal), they bring you to Peggy's Cove, and then drop you off for 2.5 hours while they drive an hour or so back to Halifax to pick up more people that they'll also drop off for 2.5 hours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sailing12Away Posted September 15, 2022 Author #195 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Some more photos of the crazy fog that followed us from Maine, and photos coming into/out of Boston. I didn't realize the airport is right there, fun to watch the planes coming and going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sailing12Away Posted September 16, 2022 Author #200 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Always nice to be back home... Donated $41 of unused non refundable OBC to NCL. Not bad considering how the last few days went. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
