Thread: From the Observation Lounge – where are Blizzard (John & Marilyn) today?

Here are some pics from our meetup in Portland, Maine yesterday!

Nice pics, Tim. It looks like you all had a great time.

Thanks for posting the pics, Tim!

I didn't expect the forward portion of The World to look so much like those from Royal Caribbean.

Ditto - I'm glad you noticed. I had not expected to see her in town yesterday, as she wasn't on the schedules that I check regularly or CruiseCal.com. Glad I got the chance to see her although her position in port wasn't perfect for photos. I posted the ones I thought semi worthy for sharing.

Thanks!

Thanks Tim for your grear pictures.

We saw the World in Barcelona a couple of years ago.

Checking my AIS program revealed she was in Portland. I was surprised to see a second ship as I also checked with Cruis Con revealing nothing.

Jewel of the Seas has arrived in Saintt John NB, and seem to have berthed out of range of the port cams, so have constructed a simulation. John and Marylyn hope you have a great time.

City of Saint John (French: Ville de Saint Jean), or commonly Saint John, is the largest city in the province of New Brunswick, and the second largest in the maritime provinces after Halifax. The Fundy City was the first incorporated city in Canada and is situated along the north shore of the Bay of Fundy at the mouth of the Saint John River. In 2011 the city proper had a population of 70,063, and the population of the Saint John Metro region is currently 127,761. This marks an increase of 4.4% since 2006.

Another place I have never visited, unfortunately the weather looks cold.

We were supposed to go to St. Johns on our TA but ended up in Halifax instead. Maybe eventually...

Sea day for John and Marylyn as Jewel of the Seas cruises around Nova Scotia towards tomorrow’s port of Halifax.

Temperature in Halifax is 45⁰F so unfortunately not warm outside.

Halifax is a gorgeous city with a fantastic port area. Have a great time John and Marylyn!
