Boston again

After spending a few days in Bermuda, our ship - the Veendam - returned to Boston and all but about 120 of us disembarked for good. We chose to stay on the ship during the turnaround. The ship was so quiet and empty for about 2 hours before the next load of new passengers embarked. It was so nice to wander about the ship, feeling all alone, practically. A nice treat.

We spent a couple of hours up in the thermal spa and even with a few interruptions, it was calming and restful.

We managed to finally get to the Pinnacle, HAL's specialty steakhouse restaurant, for dinner. It was, as usual, perfect and delicious. We both had the filet mignon and shared sides of asparagus, baked potato and crispy skinny fries. I had a huge spinach salad as a starter and it too, was excellent.

Turnaround day complete, we turned in early. Bar Harbor Maine was our next stop.
