Highlights of the trip:  

• Getting lost in Stanley Park and walking too far 
• Fantastic meals including a meal at a restaurant owned by a chef my parents met in Mexico 
• Sailing under the Vancouver and Golden Gate Bridge 
• My parents reuniting with crew members they loved from previous Norwegian cruises 
• The beautiful Norwegian Bliss with its amazing observation lounge 
• A great private tour in Victoria to all the highlights 
• An excursion to Sonoma and eating lunch at one of our favorite restaurants: El Dorado Kitchen 
• Enjoying the Disneyland Halloween party and decorations 

8.10.18 NCL Sun

I convinced Glenn to take a last minute cruise. We booked on Wednesday for a Friday departure. I've always wanted to do that since I moved to Florida. 

We worked Friday morning and then headed to the port. We were onboard by 2:30 pm. We booked an Oceanview cabin on the Norwegian Sun. We headed to the small buffet for a late lunch. Then it was the muster drill. We watched sail away from deck 6. Took a tour of the spa and then had a drink in the lobby. It was an open bar cruise which was fun. 

For dinner, we went to the Mexican restaurant. The food was very good and the drinks were delicious.

 We played the game This or That. I won twice "Popes or Brittany Spears songs" and "Swedish politicians or Ikea furniture'. We enjoyed the piano player. 

 

Saturday, we docked in Nassau Bahamas. We headed over to Sandals on a day pass. We enjoyed a pool/beach day. For dinner, we tried the sushi bar. Not my favorite so we had a second dinner at the buffet. We watched the newlywed game and then listened to the piano player. 

Sunday, we tendered to Great Stirrup Cay. We left early and got a clam shell on the beach. 

A big storm came in. We did have some delicious tacos before we headed back. We had a lazy afternoon. Then, we tried to hear all the musical groups on board before heading back to the Mexican restaurant for dinner. We ended the night back in the piano bar.

Disembarkation was easy. Glenn worked in the car on the way home.
