Canada and New England/Caribbean October 2015 | ||
Same as last year. 7 days Canada and New England, then 10 days to the Caribbean. |
||
The 10 day itin |

The 3 amigos cruising together for 17 days. |

We went out a day early and walked around New York. The girls went into Macy's while I sat out front enjoying NY life. |
||
A little snack at Eataly. We were at the La Pizza and La Pasta restaurant inside Eataly. |
||
Both dishes were wonderful. (sorry but didn't think of a photo until we started eating.) |
||
The Flatiron Building. 5th and Broadway. Built in 1902. Just outside Eataly |
||
Saturday morning I got up at 5/5:30 and did my usual walk for bagels. May websites said Absolute has the BEST in New York so went for a 9 mile roundtrip walk to get some. They were very good.
47th and Broadway in Times Square to 107th and Broadway and back with a detour over to Ess-a-Bagel at 3rd and 51st. (looking for different flavors for the ladies) |
||
Former home of David Letterman |

Sorry for the blur. We asked for an SUV to take us to the ship but they sent a limo. |
||
No complaints from anyone about arriving to the ship in a LIMO! |
||
See you in 7 days New York |

The Champagne waterfall. |

Happy sisters in the dining room. |

Happy Terry with our Snack area. Already made our visit to the Atlantic Super Store in Halifax for Butter Tarts. |

My walks on deck were a challenge the first few days. I went from 22 degrees in Canada to 90 degrees in Aruba for my morning walks. |

A very nice presentation about Carnival cruise lines. A couple things to note on this slide:
1 - 105% occupancy means 3rd and 4th people in the rooms. Not people being dragged behind the ship.
2 - Lookk at the Fuel Cost! |
