The maritime exploits of a suburban housewife … and her sister with a camera

As we get closer to our sail date of September 4, the emails from NCL with status and updates are a near daily occurrence. We’re now 54 days until sail-away. The new schedule:

Updated sail schedule
Yay! Two more hours aboard. And I plan to make use of them!

The second change doesn’t affect me, as I’m not much for ship’s entertainment. I prefer to hang out on deck or walk around the ship with my camera. The email reads:

Dear Valued Guest:

The third change affects me more directly. I’m planning on using ship excursions, as I’ll most likely be doing these on my own – it’s not really hubby’s thing. I noticed today that the number of excursions is down from 74 to 65. I’m guessing it’s still a mad scramble to get everything in place on such short notice. After all, the Encore’s first Alaska cruise leaves August 7, a mere 26 days away.
