Saturday morning trivia: did you know that The Misfits were named after Marilyn Monroe's final movie before she "died"...

It'll put "lead in your pencil" as my dad would say...

Leave it to Greg to take two different tours as well as spelunking all in the same day... He's definitely a man on a mission.

Maybe a little bit before in Miami, and maybe more afterwards, but I'm not purchasing an Internet plan on board. This cruise is going to a "real vacation" just for me...

First time on board the Horizon in 2019 there was a huge water leak two cabins down from me, and I also saw several buckets around the ship catching other leaks... On another note, what time does it get dark in Aruba? Your pictures from last "night" look light until pretty late...

I can't wait to finally get back to Aruba exactly one month from today, also on the Horizon!...

So, let me see if I have this right. OP waits five months from when the bag was left behind in the cabin, then comes here to see if we can help find it?...

NCL has fresh squeezed orange juice that's included in the Premium Plus package or regular orange juice that's included with the regular package...

"a rhinestone cowboy"...

Have you ever tried Opera? It's the only browser I use with Cruise Critic anymore... On another note, I can't believe the lines at the airport that early in the morning. (Well, more like the middle of the night in my book)

Greg must've stayed up late watching the NFL thing last night...

Sometimes you just have to "camp out" there before Alchemy opens if you want a seat...

The "best tequila" on any Carnival ship is usually Patron Reposado or Anejo... In order to make a truly great margarita the most important thing is the fresh lime juice, which you'll likely only find at the Alchemy Bar unless someone else has a secret stash. Most of their "stock" sour mix is only going to make a "decent" margarita no matter how good the tequila is... Just my 2¢...

The only way to receive additional points as a solo is to book the Haven (1 extra point per night) or book a Latitudes Rewards Insider Offer... Other than that, it's 1 point per night...

I was in cabin 12358Z... Lot's more floor space and a window than the regular solo insider.

Only offers I ever get are to "upgrade" to an ocean view from an inside for around $450 - $500... No thanks...

I've done the solo insider, solo sea view, sea terrace, and xl sea terrace... Honestly for the money, I'm just as happy in the solo insider... It's awesome to have a balcony, but the two or three total hours I spend out there aren't worth the extra $...

One time I was flying home from Sarasota visiting my dad. I had come straight to the airport from the beach, and still had on my swimming trunks with nothing on under them. Something similar happened with the body scanner, and they wanted to do a "frisk search"... The guy pulls out a flashlight and shines it down my shorts. Unfortunately I had just come from the beach, so there may have been some "shrinkage" involved. Luckily I was cleared to fly, and went on my way...

Alright, my interest has been piqued about the whole Captain Ron thing... DVD ordered from Amazon...

Vegan chicken parm? What's the chicken made out of?...

You'll hate it. May has well transfer your ticket to me...

I can't speak for the "free" CC since I always purchase the Unlimited Premium internet, but I've never had much of a problem posting except that one time on the Bliss when the internet was rubbish from beginning to end... (That was 2018, so I assume it's been upgraded now...)

Wow, I can't believe someone is actually reading all that again straight from the beginning. Actually, when I've been bored at work I've been reading it over again but from the end backwards. I'm currently on page 1,151, right around the beginning of the pandemic. It's strange reliving all of that over again. What a strange thing that we all lived through...

I just went back and found it, but I'll let the others find it for themselves...

Thanks for the honorable mention Mr Jamman... It was great reliving the entire cruise all over again! I've also never cruised from Galveston, and did a little "looking into" The Jubilee for next year, and maybe even on the same cruise as you... We'll see what the Cruise Gods lead me to...
