Day 6 - Halifax. Nova Scotia

We had a morning excursion to see Peggy's Cove.  The weather was beautiful!  Sunny but a bit chilly. It's an hour bus ride each way, and we had a very chatty tour guide which helped pass the time.  She mentioned that Nova Scotia has 4 seasons, pre-winter, winter, post-winter and construction, and this was a beautiful pre-winter day. 

We were fortunate to be the first bus that arrived so we could get pictures of the famous lighthouse without having any people out by it.  I took over a dozen pictures of the lighthouse from various perspectives and this the best of the lot.  On the right is a photo of the cove itself, complete with fishing vessels.  We spent an hour, walking around and doing some shopping. By the time we left, there were 7 busses there and this is from just one half-empty cruise ship!  Sure glad we were the only ship in town!

I do love how Princess has implemented their new medallion into everything.  A medallion is a 1" circular device that completely replaces the traditional cruise card.  The Enchanted Princess is the first ship that Princess built once the Medallion program was introduced so support is built in rather than added on.  It's a lot more that just having your cabin door unlock as you approach.  When you walk up to pay for something at a shop, the clerk addresses you by name!  I suspect even the automatic doors sense a medallion is approaching and open rather than relaying on an optical sensor.   Very cool technical implementation!  

We had a very good dinner tonight!  Club Class dining always has one special that is not on the regular menu and tonight it was shrimp in lobster sauce.  Mary had that (pictured on the left) while my prime rib dinner is on the right.  After having  lobster last night we are getting some very delicious and special meals!

Sea day tomorrow as we head back to New York City for a Saturday flight home.
