Monday, October 24th 2022 – Bar Harbor, Maine
We spent Monday in Bar Harbor. We anchored a few miles off shore and we took local shuttle boats from the ship to the shore. The day was rainy and foggy, despite the bad weather we decided to go ashore. We ate lunch at a place named Geddy’s that served us amazing local seafood and chowder. We walked the town exploring the shops and returned to the ship.
Tuesday, October 25th 2022 – St. John, New Brunswick, Canada
This morning we docked in St. John. We opted not to go ashore but attend some of the activities and entertainment onboard.
I took the opportunity to explore the ship and take some pictures of the room and public areas.
Wednesday, October 26th 2022 – Sea Day
Wednesday was the first sea day of the cruise, I was up early looking at the sunrise from the top decks. Took some shots of breakfast at the buffet that morning and was surprised at the variety and selection.
Thursday, October 27th 2022 – Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island
This was a fun port. We didnt have excursions planned, but we did decide to just walk around the city and the port. This is where I lost my cruise card while walking around. More on that after the photos!
So, here is what happened to me when I lost my cruise card in port. I can only guess I lost it in one of the shops we went into when walking around the town. I realized it when we had returned to the port and went to grab my ID. I approached the security guard checking for docs and told him I lost my cruise card. He looked over my ID, checked the passengar manifest and then had someone escort me to the ships security and tell them I lost my card. The ships security also checked my ID against a passenger manifest and then waived me in to another person who took me through security and then checked my ID again. It took about 20 more minutes that a normal embarkation would. It really was not a bad experience. Once passed security checks, I went to guest services and got me a new card.
Friday, October 28th 2022 – Sydney, Nova Scotia
The first day with GREAT weather!
Saturday, October 29th 2022 – Sea Day / Ship Tour
This was a Fun day! We had a chance to do a ship tour, we did pay about $130 per person for this experience. It was WELL worth it. They took us on a tour of the galley, cargo area, cold storage and provisioning areas, engine control room, the bridge and SOOO much more!
Wrap up!
