Day 1 Vancouver to Alaska Cruise on the Norwegian Sun

Image
I am starting to write this post the evening of the first sea day on the Norwegian Sun on June 20 2025. We left Vancouver yesterday at 5pm and have been sailing all day today.  I only have 150 minutes of free wifi so I am being careful on how much I am using. I don’t want to upgrade the    cost is reasonable but I am enjoying being forced not to scroll on my phone. YouTube videos will be posted in the future when I have data. Sorry for the lack of editing on this post, I am posting from the ship after a full day and trying to conserve wifi and the sea has been rough today.  The days have already been full. I had a full day in Vancouver before the cruise. My friend from Edmonton flew on the next day. We both dont think it was enough time. If I do another cruise I would add 2 or 3 days in the port. We had the latest check in time we could get between 1:30 and 2:00 this worked out really well for us because we didn’t have to wait in lines. We were planning to take skytr...

Cereal Tasting



It has been years since I have bought any Kellogg’s or General Mills cereal. I stayed in a hotel that had breakfast included they had these small cereal boxes so I thought I would try them. I notice the ingredients have changed since the past. The Kellogg’s ingredients are pretty simple now grains, sugar, some are using fruit and turmeric for colour some have artificial colour. There is a separate section on the ingredients for vitamins and minerals


The first cereal I tried was FruitLoops. It taste exactly how I remember crunchy, slightly sweet, with a slight fruity flavour. It’s really delicious. 

The next cereal I tried was Frosted Flakes. I was expecting it to be sweeter other than that it tasted exactly like I was expecting. It wasn’t insanely sweet but definitely had sweetness to it. The flakes had a nice crunch to them and it wasn’t insanely sweet but does have a sweetness to it. This wouldn’t be my first choice in cereal but I liked it. 

The next cereal was corn flakes. I would definitely use this for breading in the future. They are crispy and the flavour is mild. I am tasting without milk but I later added almond milk and a banana it was really good.

The next cereal was Cheerios. This is my least favourite so far. This is the first cereal that is not under Kellogg’s brand. It tasted really bland and the texture is dry. It also has the most ingredients. I could tell this was a different brand of cereal from the taste. When I added a sweetened plant milk it tasted much better. This cereal doesn’t taste how I remember it.




The final cereal is raisin bran. It is good the flakes are really crunchy even with milk they have a nice chew to them. The flakes have a very light sweetness and the ratio of raisins to flakes is perfect. Although this cereal is known for helping if you are constipated it actually tastes really good. 



Bonus cereal Oatmeal 

Do you consider oatmeal a cereal? I had a pack of plain oatmeal also from the hotel breakfast. I first tried it with hot water and it was very bland. I added dairy free eggnog to it and it was very good.
