This was a second day in port on the new schedule. It was cool (cold is when it is below freezing), with a rather strong sea wind and – you guessed it – rain. I looked out side from my comfortable chair on Deck 8. It is a decent location. I have a small table. can sit directly under a light and out of the main stream of traffic at the far forward point of the lounge. This particular lounge doesn’t have the nice table next to the coffee bar, but I can adapt. I miss the outlet, but not having dozens of people stop by and make stupid comments is also an advantage.
The total number of passengers is around 26x (out of a potential 32x) which suits me fine. There are a few I know from previous cruises, some nice seeming new to this time cruisers, and a few who obviously missed the ?Seaborne/Viking? ship that was also beginning it’s cruise yesterday. Did I also mention the National Geographic ship (complete with some rather entitled adults/offspring if my limited experience in the hotel or town was any indication) that was also departing?
Anyway – I wound up with a quite day in the lounge, people watching, stitching, explaining that this wasn’t knitting/crocheting/embroidery/needlepoint and am heaedd to bed rather early.
Where are you docked?
We were just right downtown at one of the older piers – opposite the Art Museum if you want to look at the map. No long hike.
