detroitavant Posted October 27, 2023 #279 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Man, bringing back some memories. We did a roadtrip to Nova Scotia years ago the ferry at that time left Bar Harbor but came back through Portland. We never took the second ferry to St. John and always wished we had. Your cruise looks like a much easier way to hit all these cities! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted October 27, 2023 Author #280 Share Posted October 27, 2023 We continue along the Harbourwalk….. Ah, beer! Lots and lots of beer!!!! Here are a couple of ships you can tour. The first is the HMCS Sackville….. This is the CSS Acadia….. This sculpture is called “The Wave”. Our boys used to play on this when they were little, and on the adjacent playground which has been upgraded over the years…..

Rare Jamman54 Posted October 27, 2023 Author #281 Share Posted October 27, 2023 This is the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, and is well worth a visit. They have a Titanic Exhibit that includes artifacts, and an exhibit detailing the Halifax explosion of 1917….. Now that looks like fun….. These buildings weren’t here four years ago….. This used to be Murphy’s Restaurant. Insert sad face here….. To be continued….. 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the major lines go there from New York in the fall. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think our next non-Caribbean (i.e. warm weather) cruise is going to be Alaska! Have you and Patti done Alaska before? I can’t recall seeing a review, but if you’ve been I’d love to read about it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CruzerDeb Posted October 27, 2023 #284 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Another great review and I can’t wait for the rest! I don’t cruise very often, but when I do, I look for you and Patti! 🤷🏻♀️😂 Maybe I’ll see you on the Horizon in Feb or the Vista for Thanksgiving ’24. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jamman54 Posted October 27, 2023 Author #288 Share Posted October 27, 2023 We conclude our walk on the Harbourwalk. Here is the Ferry Terminal….. This is the Dockyard Clock….. This used to be Stayner’s Wharf Pub & Grill but Covid killed it. It is now Los Toros Autentico Espanol. Insert another sad face here. I will try it out today as a Husband Daycare….. Patti leaves me with my beer and goes out exploring. There is a small shopping mall right next door….. To be continued…… 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jamman54 Posted October 27, 2023 Author #292 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Patti makes her way back down the hill and meets me at Los Toros, where we have one last drink before we leave….. Here are some Los Toros views. They did a pretty good job as a Husband Daycare, but I don’t think they will survive. The place was dead the whole time I was there…. Here are some random views as we walked back to the ship….. Once back at Terminal 21, the line to get back on the ship was insanely long. I was back on board at 6pm. Patti, who wanted to browse the terminal shops for a bit, was back on at 6:30pm. To be continued….. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jamman54 Posted October 27, 2023 Author #294 Share Posted October 27, 2023 At 6:45 we made our way to the Teatro Rosso for Deal or No Deal. We have our cards, drinks, and favorite seats….. Al from the Fun Squad is the host tonight and he did a great job….. Tonight’s first contestant is Seth….. He hung in there for a while, but once the thousand came off the board he wound up taking the offer….. Here is the audience prize board. We didn’t win anything…..

Rare Jamman54 Posted October 27, 2023 Author #295 Share Posted October 27, 2023 The second contestant was Donald….. Donald had a strong board all the way to the end where only two cases remained. One was $50, and the other was $1000. The banker offered him $472….. Donald said no deal, and when asked if he wanted to swap cases he also said no….. When Case # 9 was opened and it contained $50, that made Donald a $1000 winner. It does happen! After the show we decided to go up to the Lido Marketplace and grab some dinner. Passing by the mid ship pool, we could see that the Fest Italiana was getting ready to begin. We’ll catch this next cruise….. We both made ourselves a salad, and got a plate from the buffet. Here are Patti’s plates….. Here are my plates….. Afterwards, we were both tired from our walk today, especially Patti who climbed the hill, that we decided to head back to the cabin to relax. Coming up next: Our 2nd sea day as we head back to a soggy New York City. 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fair-winds39 Posted October 27, 2023 #296 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Jamman54 We were on the Oct.14-Oct. 23 sailing on the beautiful Carnival Venezia, so I’ve been catching up on your trip since we returned. We love your Live reviews and Patti sure takes great photos. Our experience on Venezia was a little different than yours. For us, the Fun Italian Style vibe fell short. That’s just our opinion.Don’t get me wrong, we found the ship to be beautiful, the crew fantastic, as the crew always has been on all of our past Carnival cruises. The menus were a disappointment for us. Some of the venues that had a charge attached were pretty good, but our dinners in the MDR were not that great. I think we’ve done too many Spirit class ships, and we were comparing things. Anyway, thanks for all of the Live reviews that you do. They are always informative and full of great photos. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made total sense for her to keep going and not take the offer. But Donald had a lot more to lose! Brave guy to keep on going! I’m not sure I could have done that! lol 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for reading and for sharing your opinions with us. We agree that the MDR experience left a lot to be desired, and we'll touch on that in the next segment. As a result, we only ate in the dining room once during our twenty one days on the ship. Not a big deal to us as we don't need to eat big, long meals every night. We're fine with the pay venues and the Lido Marketplace. Since the start up after Covid, we feel that the MDR experience hasn't been very good fleetwide, certainly not on the twelve ships we've been on since then, so we hardly eat there anymore. That's our choice, and we're okay with it. 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
