Saturday at Sea on our way to St.John's / Halifax



Some more Icebergs.

Today we are at sea on our way to St. John’s, Newfoundland. We went back up to Sabatini’s and had breakfast. There were 3 couples having breakfast together. 2 from the Midwest and 1 from California. The conversation about health care was quite interesting. You can guess who was for what.
After breakfast the Captain notified us that St. John’s was not going to be a port of call for us. They have a narrow entrance into the harbor and a new low is causing problems there with the wind and waves. A sister ship did not make it in today and we are not going in tomorrow. They have scheduled us for Halifax instead. That is Ok with us as we have not been there either.
We met some members of the Cruise Critic group up in the Sky walkers lounge. The Cruise Director and the Second Officer were there. Now I know why they don’t always come to these meetings. Some of the questions and statements made by people attending are just dumb. We spent quite a bit of time trying to set up some kind of tour in Halifax for the “rowdy group”. So far not much luck, but hope they will return my e-mail tomorrow.
It has been a sea day and not much to tell you. The weather is slightly warmer but foggy. The Captain informed us that we will be passing close to where the Titanic hit an iceberg in fog. Probably did not need to hear that.
We ar on our way to Halifax, trying to stay away from the weather.
Well as Bugs use to say “That all folks”.
