Our "obstructed" ocean view stateroom E326 on Emerald Deck 8 was just fine! Actually, just over the lifeboat we had a rather good ocean view. The bathroom and adjacent closet seemed much smaller than we have experienced with balcony staterooms, but were entirely adequate. There was little or no noise from adjacent staterooms, and our location near the forward elevators and stairway was convenient. The middle elevators are NOT accompanied by a public stairway making for a VERY inconvenient situation - if one wants to take the stairs.

The Grand Princess was waiting at dock for our return and I think we were the last bus; shortly after our reboarding the ship pushed away at 4 PM and set sail back down the long fjord to the ocean and our day at sea today towards Reykjavik, our last port of call tomorrow in Iceland.~~ A Rainy Day in Sydney: October 7th ~~



Yes, it is WET today here in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada, and our tour of the day, "Sailing on the Bras d'Or", a large inland sea forming the heart of Cape Breton Island, was canceled last evening by the tour operator because of today's predicted inclement weather.
