The Citadel, Halifax, Nova Scotia
When I heard that The Citadel in Halifax was a restored fort, I have to admit I was not all that thrilled about seeing it. However. That was before I saw this. Citadel sentry.
Eating Our Way Around Portland, Maine with Maine Foodie Tours
Portland, Maine was definitely not putting her best foot forward. The Norwegian Jewel had pulled into port in an icy, driving rain and things were not improving at all. Skies were dark gray and the rain was not letting up, literally throwing cold water on our hopes of a lovely day for our culinary walking tour. With visions of … Continue reading
The Bay of Fundy, Saint John
I’m just going to be honest and tell you that I would not have one, single photo for this post if it was up to me because I spent the entire time with my white-knuckled fingers clutching either the seat or, as we pitched forward, the railings. Luckily, my husband Tom has no problem with … Continue reading
Summing Up the Norwegian Jewel
I had to make my own bed this morning. No room steward came in and efficiently and quickly whipped the covers up and smoothed them in that incomparable way they do. I also had to make my own breakfast and, at some point, today I need to vacuum my entire house and clean the bathrooms. … Continue reading
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Cannons and Fudge
I would like to let you know that, even though we are spending a great deal of time stuffing our faces with one culinary delight after another on the Norwegian Jewel (yum…mashed potatoes), we actually are making time to visit a few ports in between meals and snacks.

Sydney, Nova Scotia and Yet More Eating on the Norwegian Jewel
OK. I’m just a teeny bit embarrassed to tell you that I had mashed potatoes again last night. On a dinner plate. In my defense, I ordered the gratin potatoes, thinking I would try something different and yum gratin potatoes all cheesy and but no. Not only were they not especially good but Tom ordered … Continue reading
Eating and Relaxing on the Norwegian Jewel
I have now found my favorite place on the Jewel. This, of course, is completely aside from the restaurants onboard, which are all my favorite places because I am seriously having some of the best food on planet Earth. Possibly the universe.
At Sea on the Norwegian Jewel
We are cruising along on a navy blue sea with sparkles of gold on the tips of the waves which look like pirates have scattered their treasured doubloons on the water. The last time we left New York on our way to Bermuda, the water was so rough that the pool water was splashing up … Continue reading
Norwegian Jewel: Truly A Gem!
10. That’s how many cruises I have been on. So this Norwegian Cruise Lines cruise from New York to Canada/New England makes 11. I have even been on another cruise that left New York and sailed out past the Statue of Liberty. So it shouldn’t be all that exciting. But still. Still. I get that … Continue reading
Leaf Peeping on the Norwegian Jewel
For the last couple of years, ever since I have been addicted to occasionally checking Facebook, my sweet cousin Pam in Rhode Island has talked about leaf peeping in the fall. When I would read this, I would smile gently at how clever she was to make up a cute little name for looking at … Continue reading
