    Trip Report COMPLETE - It's an After-Hours Event Extravaganza at Epcot!

    From what I've read, F&G booths will not be open during the After Hours event, so we have to get all our eating and drinking in by 9 pm. If you were paying attention, that's only 2 hours after entering the park. This is the list of food and drink that looks interesting. I like food, so it...

    Trip Report COMPLETE - It's an After-Hours Event Extravaganza at Epcot!

    Hello! It's these guys again! We don't often go to the parks anymore because we've hit that point in our lives where waiting in lines and massive crowds aren't our jam, plus we don't have APs that give us the ability to pop in and out of parks. With that said, we've done some side quests in...

    Trip Report Two broke guys & a dog (for the last time.) (completed)

    I'm really sorry about Kylie. We know what it's like to lose a member of your family. It's really hard. Our buddy Oreo has been gone for two years and while it does get easier, I still tear up over him and miss him terribly. When I think of him now, I smile more because I remember all the good...

    I should have added that I've received some really great casino offers from Princess and we are not high rollers by any means. We received offers for $99/person and $200 obc. So, for us, it was worth it to spend some dollars in the casino.

    She went on a few with us and then said it really "wasn't her thing." 😂 Fine by us!

    Well, that's it. Debarkation was a breeze. We flew back to ATL out of LaGuardia. I think it was a new Delta terminal. It was shiny and everything looked new. There's not much to eat, so we chose a place where you order off a mobile menu and they bring it to you. Two sandwiches with pickled...

    Our last night's dinner was at Crown Grill. This is the second specialty dining venue on the ship. $39/person Crown Grill Menu Nice and steakhouse-y decor. First up, a delicious bread (included) with cheese in the middle. It was hard to eat slow. Black and Blue Onion Soup with fresh...

    We watched some games in the atrium (which was too small). I liked the activities. However, the activities staff was not great. They were late to everything and in wrong locations, etc. The cruise director was ok, but didn't seem genuine at all. We also went to our first ice carving...

    Day 7 - At Sea and the last day of the cruise 🎶sad trombone🎶 We also received the saddest of all things - the debarkation instructions There are no survey cards. Princess sends you an email after the cruise. It's a lot more comprehensive than Disney (if DCL still does the cards). Email...

    Another Bob-ism

    They're adding this to one of the worst frequent cruiser programs. We chased the status and looks like we will lose it, but we've moved on to different lines and better experiences overall.

    Day 6 - Halifax, Nova Scotia We didn't have concrete plans this day except visiting the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. We made the walk and arrived before cruise guests, but we didn't make it before school groups, but it wasn't bad. The main reason for the visit was the Titanic. These...

    Dinner that evening was Planks. Planks is up-charge casual dining. It's $14.99/person. I ordered this drink. I "think" it's a Rosemary Sour. Cornbread signals the beginning of the meal. It's served with butter and pimiento cheese. I did not care for this at all and I really like...

    I had the lobster roll. Geddy's "Bacon Jalapeño" Lobster Roll Native fresh-picked lobster with seasoned mayonnaise over shredded lettuce; topped with bacon, house made cream sauce, and fresh jalapeños, served on a new England style roll. The lobster was excellent. No smell and a fresh taste...

    Day 5 - Saint John No tendering this day, so we could just step off the ship. We walked to the Saint John City Market. Afterwards, we decided to head over to Moosehead Brewery via the Harbour Passage. It's about a 2.5 mile walk and you do pass the Reversing Falls Rapids. Moosehead was a...

    I can pizza every single day, even bad pizza. Princess had some interesting selections. I don't remember exactly what they were, but there was always something that was unique.

    The big deal in Bar Harbor (I think) is Acadia National Park. We took the long way to get to the park...the very long way. We walked to one of the entrances of the park. We just headed on to some trails and walked. It was nice, cool, and the scenery was amazing. We went to Dorr Mountain area...

    I forgot to add our day 3 dinner in the MDR. We did have a nice table by the window and our serving team was very good. Dinner was fine, not great. We had french onion soup, beef wellington, and lamb. As far as comparing the meals to other cruises lines, this meal ranked right up there with...

    Day 3 - Boston No excursions, but we did meet family in the city. We really like Boston. It's a great walking around city. We did share a cab into the city with another family. They're waiting outside the port. It was easier than requesting Lyft/Uber. We met at Faneuil Hall, looked at...

    We don't normally reminisce over cruise food unless it's Virgin, but we have mentioned the Princess pizza several times when discussing pizza. We really like pizza.
