heffy2 265 Posted October 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 After crossing the bridge, in the name of research, we had to stop at the restaurant. The seafood chowder wasn’t as good as the stuff we tried in Portland the other day, and it definitely wasn’t worth the $15 price tag, but I was prepared for that.

heffy2 265 Posted October 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 Today is day 7 and our second sea day. I’m still surprised how well this ship handles crowds. I’m going to try and get in to We Will Rock You at 2:30, even though I have it reserved for 6:30. We’ll see how that goes. Right now, just hanging in the Pub.

WAAAYTOOO 11,926 Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 When you go in to watch WWRY, look on either side of the stage at the enclosed alcoves. That is where the band sits. I find it fascinating to watch the band, knowing that there is no conductor there with them. The conductor is actually in ANOTHER area and the band is watching him on CCTV from a screen that is facing the stage above the balcony. heffy2 and JLMoran 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
heffy2 265 Posted October 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 Just got to watch a bunch of guys from housekeeping and laundry play soccer at Seaplex. They’re damn good! monctonguy, Skigoofy, PRebecca and 4 others 6 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
heffy2 265 Posted October 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 Good morning from a cold, gray Halifax! Hopefully the showers hold off for about 5 hours. This morning was a bit interesting with a code Alpha right in the middle of the Captains good morning message. Hopefully the guest with the medical issue is ok. Of course this delayed the clearance of the ship, which caused people to be very sultry. JLMoran and Lovetocruise2002 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
monctonguy 1,807 Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 Lots of rain here today....but very mild. I think Halifax isn't supposed to get much more than some off/on showers today. Enjoy exploring....lots to do and see in the Halifax area.... heffy2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
heffy2 265 Posted October 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 It’s a little wet, but I’ve really enjoyed walking around. We explored the Maritime Museum, which was really cool, especially the second floor with the Cunard and Titanic displays. Now we’re just walking around Grafton street.

heffy2 265 Posted October 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 We made it to Garrison Brewing, and I sat and relaxed while my mom looked in the shops at the pier. Now we’re back aboard the ship, having a little downtime before our first Wonderland experience tonight. Happy Halloween everyone!

Can you name specific places? We are looking for a donair and poutine place. Since you're a local, I would love to hear your opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
heffy2 265 Posted November 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 So, just a quick update, captain just mentioned ten min ago before we departed, that around 1-3am we’ll encounter 50 knot winds and 20 foot seas until around 11 am tomorrow. I’m currently in Wonderland for the first time and am blown away! Big Tule, JLMoran, Lovetocruise2002 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

heffy2 265 Posted November 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Thank you @Matt for this blog and the podcast, it’s the only reason I’m here. This is one of my best cruises out of 27 so far! JLMoran, WAAAYTOOO, Big Tule and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JLMoran 6,961 Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Glad you enjoyed Wonderland! How did you like the beef terroir? And "The World", of course! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
monctonguy 1,807 Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Hope its not too bad today for you...gusts of 50-60mph since yesterday here and till later today....all along the east coast I believe.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
heffy2 265 Posted November 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Good morning from a very comfy, rocking and rolling Anthem of the Seas! If I didn’t live in the west, I’d always sail out of Cape Liberty. I LOVE how this ship handles slight seas like this. monctonguy, Deedeelynn, DDaley and 5 others 2 1 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
heffy2 265 Posted November 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 Good morning! We’re in American Icon for debark breakfast. As soon as I get home I’ll fill in the missing details of our last night onboard. We have a late flight, so we’re in the last debark group.

YOLO 489 Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 @heffy2 Sorry I did not contribute to this blog. Ceil and I had a great time on this cruise though. We were mostly in the Solarium. I'll check my camera pics (not yet downloaded) to see if I have anything interesting to add here. We usually "disconnect" on our cruises and pretty much stay off-line. This is actually the first time I am seeing this. Thanks for your blog work! I wish I had been following... heffy2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure I walked by you many times! I was up there at arrival, or in the afternoon, either at the bar or in the hot tub. It was an amazing cruise!! YOLO 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
