See all these people?

 

 

See the no smoking bunkering in progress sign?

 

They don't.

 

Someone just came and removed the ashtrays guess that's their way of telling them without telling them 😆 

 

They are morons, there are no other words.

Las Palmas is a nice city, and an interesting port with lots going on.

I thought about reporting them but the bunkering was on the other side of the ship at least and then crew came by and took the ash trays.

Looks nice from what I've seen so far.

My mom got some shopping in. Her haul was pretty heavy so I came back to drop it off. She's going to be on her own with whatever else she finds.

 

She's not thinking ahead to having to carry this luggage later 😒.

 

Almost lunch time so I'm going to wait till noon and grab a bite then make my way back out.

Can I ask what proportion of your fellow passengers are from the US. What other nationalities have you detected?

I would say 95% or better are from the US and Canada. On the way over I think we had some Spanish and Portuguese pax but on the way back it's no different than a US sailing just an older and less rowdy demographic.

So someone speaking in an English accent would rapidly be a hit?

Our Entertainment Director is British I could listen to her speak all day.

 

Easy on the eyes too 😍

I priced out a 52 night South America cruise round trip from Ft. Lauderdale. Quite a bit of sticker shock 😲 

 

Guess I need to set my sights a little lower than 52 nights 😆 

Maybe a little less days may work for you 😀

Think how many Gala nights I could attend. What's that 15, 16 Gala nights? 

[jam19872016]

Lido lunch menu.

 

 

I had to sample something. 

 

[jam19872016]

And of course there was cake.

 

 

 

 

 

[jam19872016]

Heading back out now.

I have a feeling you would be a hit in a room full of Brits.

You better buy a tux 😀

Back on the ship. I absolutely loved Las Palmas ❤️. 

 

What a perfect port and if it weren't for time I could have spent a while longer there. Well time, and energy. 

 

Refueling with a coffee now.

Does Cunard rent by the night, or sailing? That would be a heck of a bargain for the while cruise.

She's so much prettier with her new tail.

The lighting doesn't lend itself to very good pictures but here is the upcharge dessert case.
