When I was on my last cruise, I guess about a month ago, I noticed a lump on the side of my neck. Got home, went to my PCP, got a CT scan. Sent the result to my oncologist, next a ENT Dr, next to the hospital for a biopsy. Result, I have throat cancer. It has been many years (like 20) since I smoked, so we really not sure what caused it. Just got off the phone with the oncologist, the treatment is to zap it with radiation, then 6 weeks of low level chemo. Oncologist said there should be minimal side effects from the treatment, it is very treatable.

We always headed to that area in the afternoon when it looked like rain coming.

People in Florida would know where to look and more likely would have seen the forecasts. We were at Coco Cay before it was perfect, facing north, and DW went to the rest room. She came back quickly and said we have to go back to the ship. I got up and saw a big black cloud to the south, and we caught the first tender back to the ship. We were back in our room to drop our beach stuff, when the captain made an announcement warning everyone to stay off all outside decks, including balconies. Being anchored, the ship was pointed into the wind, and we watched through our balcony door , the wind was so strong the rain was horizontal. I never went up on deck, but lot of passengers were hunkered down on the island. The storm passed in just a couple of minutes, but the seas stayed rough, so tendering was rough after that. Now that Coco Cay is perfect, I cannot imagine that storm hitting that ship broadside while moored at the pier.

Thanks. Got Seaside confused with Seascape. Apologies to OP.

Good Luck. Port Miami is closed due to marine accident this morning. No vessels in or out for now. Seascape is at anchor outside the port. Sorry to have this news for you.

Interesting that even the salesmen didn't recommend Samsung. I had an appliance repair man replace the ice maker on my refrigerator (Amana ) trash talk the LG about their compressors. Apparently he had replaced them more frequently than the other brands.

For others here that like aviation related Youtube @bobmacliberty , I discovered one that is not flying at 40000 ft , at 300 kn or so in a multi million dollar jet, it is an 800 lb , ultra light prop plane , at 1000 ft, 100 kn, flying through the mountains out west. Great scenery with a lot of filming out his plane and a lot of drone filming. These plans are STOL plane, (short takeoff and landing), and him and his buddies in their own planes, find all kinds of places to land their planes. All of these planes are experimental category. Look for Trent Palmer. https://www.youtube.com/@TrentonPalmer BTW, his real job is a professional drone pilot, he flies big expensive drones with big expensive movies cameras hanging underneath creating content for movies and other productions. Some of his videos talks about using the drones.

I guess PC is serious about having the most cruisers port in FL , if not the world.

They will just take the shoes off.

When we started cruising o a regular basis, we were on Celebrity and did several TA's. Then we switched to Royal, Navigator, and I was blown away. The Royal Promenade is awesome, and I loved it. WJ showed how much larger that the Millennium class since you could actually how wide the ship was. Then DW booked us on Carnival cruise Perfect way to compare. Brand new ship , the Dream. TA from Rome to NY. My first thought was this is the best Carnival can come up with. Most forgettable ship I had ever been on. Only thing I really remember is not liking the balcony door, it was hinged rather than a slider and I thought that you could lose fingers. Never considered Carnival after that.

I thought all ships doing Alaska go to Vancouver, either as a port call or departure port,

Yes.

I believe they have had fireworks on Coco Cay.

She didn't say if she even had a headache. When she gets back to the DR, she will probably try to get him to adjust her BP meds. She is an RN and knowing her, she might just do it herself.

Her head hit the glass. Explode describes what happens when tempered glass breaks.

Ours is a Frigidaire.

On YouTube Chris Wong , a casino host on Ovation, did a bunch of videos in the ports while he was working there. Gives you an idea of the weather and activities that the crew does, along with the weather variables you might encounter.

We now have a new electric range. About a week ago, DW was in the kitchen preparing dinner, when I heard a boom. Ran into the kitchen. and she was laying on the floor unconscious, and there was what looked like ice all around. as I got closer, that isn't ice, it is glass. her head had hit the front of the range and the tempered glass on the oven door exploded, glass everywhere. I was calling 911 just she started to wake up. Best guess was that her BP had been a bit low, which our PCP did not think was bad. They took her to the ER, since she had a cut on the back of her head. They wanted to keep her over night, she did not want to stay, so she came home. She is OK now. I guess we needed a new range. You probably don't remember, but a couple of years ago, our dishwasher started leaking. She wanted a white dishwasher, so that is what we ordered. That was around Thanksgiving. Come Easter it had still not been able to get one, so in frustration, she said we get whatever. they had a stainless steel in stock, so that is what we got. Here we go again, Not this time. What do you have in stock. Took a picture and showed DW. She said looks good. Mostly black with stainless steel trim. Bought it on Friday, it will delivered om Monday, and it was. WE have heard a lot of people rave about an air fryer. That got her interest. Now we have one. .

You don't actually believe they are actually making a profit now?

I Googled 'window birds' and there were a ton of responses for fixing that problem.

No.

Got ours this week.

here you go. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2741933-to-add-some-humour/

We got to 700 C&A points in November. Today FedEx delivered a plain black envelope with our Pinnacle pins.
