Day 5 - St John New Brunswick

Another day, another port to visit.  We had a quiet early morning and breakfast before heading into town.  The townspeople were super friendly and helpful.  As you can see from this picture, the town rises rather steeply from the ocean!  We had to climb for 2 blocks before reaching our shopping destination.  Mary bought a post card and shopped at a Christmas store as well as a few others.  After that we walked around a bit then headed back to the ship for lunch. 

After lunch I played "Goofy Golf" and ended up winning my second medal. The rest of the afternoon was quiet, with some time spent on the balcony which was OK as long as you had a blanket and were in the sun.  We watched the tide flow out of the Bay of Fundy; it sure moved fast!

Tonight was the second formal night (They call it "dress to impress" now), and the menu featured Lobster!  YUM!  It's nice that the waiters de-shell it for you.  Our waiter said that this was the first cruise since the pandemic where they were allowed to do that. With the price of lobster  being so high, we are glad Princess still has this on the menu. When we were walking around Bar Harbor yesterday, there were virtually no prices posted for lobster (they just said "market").  We did see a lobster roll priced at $30 and $35, but most of them were "market" as well.  

This evening was the second Production show titled "Rick Opera".  We hoped it would feature songs from all the famous rock operas, and it did include several we recognized, but a lot more that we did not.  The singers and dancers did a fabulous job of performing it.  Overall another good quality show.  

Tomorrow we are in Halifax and have a morning excursion to Peggy's Cove.  The weather is supposed to be sunny, which is very good. The last time we were here it was so foggy you could not see the time of the famous lighthouse.
