Good morning from a wet and humid sea day! 

 

It’s showers off/on. 

I was awake to my normal time…

Mr was half way dead😜

 

So it was buffet breakfast on the last minutes (together by lots of others🤣🤣) 

Mr had his usual omelette and had my milk, apricot and cereal. 

It’s dry by the windows on the balcony. So we could sit outside😉

 

On our door, the letter for passport delivery had arrived. 

I was surprised it wasn’t on our bed already when we arrived back yesterday…. At some point we needed to get them back😝

 

Well, make the best of it🤩

What to do? Jacuzzi, shopping, live music, have some martinis? 

Well, as the big drinker I am, martinis are out😅 

I think we will hit the pool for a dip😎

I will go thru the GoPro footage later tonight. Maybe Nemo is caught on tape🙃🐠🐟🐡

 

Hope you have better luck with your GoPro fish footage than us.  It was only when we got back to the Solstice after snorkelling in New Caledonia that my husband realised that the battery was flat on the GoPro.  Good excuse to go back again one day....🙂

😅 sorry for laughing 

 

this is really the worst nightmare when you plan to use it😳

We have extra batteries. So this has saved us.

 

But our old GoPro just died on holiday. It was working perfectly and suddenly it was just completely dead 🫠

It was kaput☠️🙈

 

This was during our NZ advanced experience🙈 

So we called a store and ordered a new one for pickup! 

 

[FeebeeH]

I've enjoyed reading about your trip.  Sad it's coming to an end and wish you well for your return journey to Norway.

[Jim_Iain]

@NorwayladyReally enjoyed your Live Post.     Safe travel home.  

[ronpes]

I would also like to add my thanks for a fantastic live report.

Thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to do this.

We enjoyed reading this very much over a coffee every day from a very wet and cold Scotland!.

@Norwaylady 

I will add my thanks for taking the time to do a live review. I appreciate your honesty about your experiences with the good and not-so-good. But you and Mr always make the best of it! 😊 Safe travels home, and may your journey be uneventful.

[chemmo]

My morning coffee will not taste the same without being treated to your daily instalments!

 

Sincere thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Safe journey home to you both!

[Norwaylady]

There are now bad weather😁 it’s just bad clothes😎

So we went to the retreat pool deck. 

It was only a super light drizzle and it slowly cleared up😉 

We sat in the gray sun and enjoyed ourselves. 

This is a day you get mega lobster 🦞 if you think the light is not sharp. (Believe me, the uv is out😎) 

We took a dip in the pools, the gelato walk served cassis gelato😋 

Cheers to a great holiday 🥂 

 

Around 15.15 we decided that it was time to go inside. 

We took a Clark-Kent and went for some afternoon tea and pick up the passports😌

Will really miss the opportunity to sit outside in shorts and a light shirt 👚… its a long time until next time🥶😎

 

We asked for our cruise cards from last sailing yesterday. They have still not arrived…. (We always need to deliver them to the gangway and then they return them back) we want our cards to our stack of cards 🃏 

 

Now it’s time for me to do luggage 🧳 

Mr will have a last date by the ducks 🦆 

 

Then it’s time to enjoy the last evening onboard for this time💙⚓️💙

 

When they changed from breakfast to lunchtime, it’s the day of their “dress to impress” 

cakes, food and decorations was rolling out🩷❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🩵

I have loved following along- thank you for taking the time out of your holiday.

Do you know any reason why one or two of your photos are upside down?

Just puzzled, as I have it happen to me occasionally. 😱

[Travelexpert35]

Thank you for taking the time to post your latest adventure. I loved reading all of your posts and seeing your pictures. Safe travels back to Norway. 

[catgirl411]

I will miss reading your wonderful reports with my breakfast each morning.  Do you have your next trip planned?  Thanks again for taking us along!

[Norwaylady]

So, our cards for first part of our b2b had not arrived to our cabin….

Mr asked for them yesterday. No cards on our door during today…

So at 19.00 we asked again in the retreat😣

Well, here’s the problem… since we didn’t stay in the retreat last part of our b2b…. They don’t have the cards in their possession….

So after some phones and Physical movement, the cards arrived in the retreat🤩 we just sat down on a sofa with a pre dinner drink😆 so no sorrow for us😅 

They had our cards in guest relations🙈 

We are satisfied and have our cruise cards for both cruises in hand👍🏻👍🏻

 

After the search of cruise cards we decided to go for dinner at 20.00. We arrived during rush hours. But we had plenty of time🙃

So no stress😅

 

We had a table on I-95 but not an awful location. The most bothersome is people unpacking or packing plates and cutlery. 

 

Today’s menu: 

 

 

Chefs delight:

Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to post your fabulous report and pictures.

 

Couldn’t do it myself.  1) I’m too lazy.  2) My favorite “activity” is reading on my balcony.  Not exactly interesting to others.  (Have never been to a show.)

 

It’s a shame Sky Suites have once again become the red-headed stepchild of suites.  Thanks for pointing out the issues.

 

Looking forward to your next adventure!

[Lastdance]

Another lovely reading experience as you traveled on your b2b.  Your first Retreat experience with a few snafus appears to be the norm nowadays, but you had lots of good experiences.  I look forward to your next review, as it certainly brightens my day.  Hope debarkation runs smoothly, along with your flight(s) back home.  

 

~Safe travels without hiccups!

@Norwaylady Do you know if the ship will be holding a 'crossing the line' ceremony for your sailing when you cross the equator going from Phuket to Singapore?

Isn't Singapore at the south end of the Northern Hemisphere?

[LizikinsLivesToCruise]

What a fantastic live report and photos! Thank you @Norwaylady and Mr Norway for taking us along on your vacation. I enjoy your writing style and your positive outlook - "it is not the underground" 😊. Have a safe trip home, and I look forward to reading another report of yours.

Back to our dinner…….

 

The menu tonight was looking good 👍🏻 

 

We went for asparagus, salmon and cod.

Oh my…..

 

The asparagus was so tasteless. Like really tasteless. Like nada flavours😳 out the back door 🚪 

 

The salmon was tasty and good 👍🏻 

 

The cod 🐟🐟🐟

Remember we go fishing? 

 

This piece of fish is definitely not a cod. 

It arrived, we had a look on the skin and we said in twins: this doesn’t look as a cod…. Strange….

Its tasted definitely not as a cod. This is something else…. It was too fatty and the structure of the fish was wrong. It was like a halibut, but not really a pure one… just very strange. 

As we sat there, cutlery 🍴 plated as we were done, trying to get contact to get some attention from crew….. 

Supervisor was running to 🙈 hide… we tried to get him to us, but he knew what the “el fishermen from Norway” probably had to say🤣🤣🤣  

We had to laugh, they probably did a stone, rock and scissor behind the wall🤣🤣🤣 since this was plate nr 2 not very successful this evening🤪🤪🤪

 

So it went out the back door 🚪🤭

 

our waiter had a light panic attack…. (Brilliant way to end our evening, cruise scores of food/luminae -10 in his eyes 👀) 

 

We asked for something else on the menu… because we were hungry…. 

So he said beef & fettuccine 😋 

 

After a little while it arrived on the table🙃

 

 

From hell to heaven tonight😂😜😋

 

This was definitely 💯 

Flavours and just excellent 👌🏻 

 

Tonight’s dessert menu: 

 

Mr had the chocolate dessert and I ice cream. 

 

Both tasted good 👍🏻 

[Norwaylady]

A very good morning ladies & gentlemen! Singapore 🇸🇬 is making sure everyone is waking up🐲🐉

 

 

Starboard side as we approached the pier had a full party on 😜

 

[Ciaranaman]

Thank you for taking the time to post your adventures and pictures - I thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of them!  Safe travels back home!

Yes, didn’t expect the 5:30 wake up call there!

 

No getting back to sleep when they finished just before 6.

 

But a positive start once you got over the unexpected ⏰.
