Rare mking8288 Posted July 5, 2023 #79 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Have a great & wonderful B2B cruise, looking forward to live-ish report. Do mix up that sarcasm and grumpiness with good dose of humor. Bon Voyage to both dad & you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare YVRteacher Posted July 5, 2023 Author #80 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Well, we are off to an epic start. I made my dad a packing list. Sent emails. Phoned him. We get to the port and he doesn’t have his passport!!! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare YVRteacher Posted July 5, 2023 Author #82 Share Posted July 5, 2023 So I called the place where he lives and with my permission they sent someone up to his suite. I am the person who organized my dad’s place when he moved in so I knew where the passport would be. The front desk person just called and they found the passport… My dad is now having an epic tantrum. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that's the drama quota filled now and the rest of your trip passes uneventfully. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare YVRteacher Posted July 5, 2023 Author #89 Share Posted July 5, 2023 We were a whirling dervish of meltdown! I wouldn’t have wanted to bring that into your space! We are good now. NCL had us flagged with a red alert for port assistance and we were whisked through the port and boarded the ship at 11:35. We are now in Cagney’s and we both have beverages. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare YVRteacher Posted July 5, 2023 Author #90 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Our home away from home for the next two weeks A quiet day at the port of Vancouver made for a smooth process at both customs and security. First drinks onboard in Cagney’s: a beer for dad and a Painkiller for me. I ordered the drink for the name and wow is it delicious! 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare YVRteacher Posted July 5, 2023 Author #99 Share Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) This is our suite. It’s similar to the forward facing penthouse we had on the Encore. I was able to take a photo of the main bedroom right before my dad whipped the pillows off and tossed them away like a day old Freestyle Daily. The couch will be my bed. Way comfier than the fold out couch in the back bedroom on the Jewel suites. Teeny tiny balcony. So teeny tiny. Who makes balconies this small?? Bathroom is lovely Dining room (ish) I added some bubbles to the bubbles bucket Edited July 5, 2023 by YVRteacher 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare YVRteacher Posted July 5, 2023 Author #100 Share Posted July 5, 2023 So…all our dining reservations and 50% of our shore excursions are wrong. Off to correct those. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
