We'll find out soon. The wine guy took off with my card and they can't find it now... 

OUCH. I'm only 1 year behind you in age. And already accused of being old and 😡.I would be the Cartmenfrom south park. @&%$#* you guys. Get me a card to get in my room and I'll see you tomorrow.

As for not catching it I didn't go to any comedy shows or shows in the main theater. I spent most of my time in the casino which was pretty busy.

I managed to escape clean. However it's been crazy at work trying to catch up. Almost felt like telling them the whole ship got it, just to get another 5 days off.

If @Hooked Already has COVID this may have been a targeted attack on CC members. 

Saint Greg definitely has a better view from his hotel. Here's mine

I caught it barely from a different angle while on a car Ferry to Bainbridge. Your pi ture is much clearer.

Taking a Ferrie boat over to Bainbridge Island. They are taking me to a small town called Poulsbou. As the Ferry leaves the Ncl Encore is in port.

Finally called it a night and got to hotel room at 9:30 on Saturday night. Staying at the Charter hotel by Hilton. A five minute walk to Pikes Place.

Sunday morning. The dreaded online C test. Test went good. Uploading to ArrivCan easier then I thought it would be. Uploading to Verifly a joke. 6 attempts before I got a response that said they would review. 3 hours later received email that iwS good to go. By then I was long gone. The family had already got me.

From the top of the space needle. This was our 3rd  bar stop. First at home in Renton. Then the base of the space needle, and then the top. There is a Princess ship and a Holland American I belive at pier  91. NcL Bliss is at I believe pier 66. Looking down through the new floor in the space needle.

Didn't want to interrupt Saint Greg's live review. Though I would practice posting pictures here with the tribe. Will be on the same Alaska cruise. I landed at 9:00 am Saturday in Seattle.  Shangied by family right from airport. First stop the after their home in Renton, the space needle.

I guess that every story needs a beginning, middle, and end... These past few weeks, up until today have sort of been the middle. After I sent the email, I guess that I knew that the end was near. I was on my afternoon walk, when my "buddy" who was trying to get me to work with him called. He basically cursed me out for about thirty seconds, told me to never call him again, then hung up... I suppose that I did make the right decision, as it probably wouldn't have been too long until a situation like that would have happened, but in person. Anyhoo, I'm moving on...

Sorry to hear this about the friend. You did not make this decision lightly. If this is how he reacted I'm sure working with him would not have worked out.

Alaska airlines completely changed flight schedule for my return trip from Seattle. Moved me to a 7:00am flight. Spent over an hour on hold and had to canceled my flights. Luckily I was able to book new flights on delta and saved money.

@Saint Greg

I also got the 10:30 to 11:00 arrival time. Still ended up with a boarding zone of B01.

Not sure how that happens.

Who does this?  Put your frozen meat out in the sun to thaw?

 

This is NOT ours....it is our neighbors!  I think it is CRAZY!

I'll pass on dinner.

Go for it. If they were in the same room as you, you can experience a solo cruise at a cheaper cost.

You may find out that cruising solo works fine for you.

The problem is if you do like it like I do, cruising solo can be a bit more expensive.

That was a cluster. 
 

Anyway 10 weeks from today I fly to Seattle for a couple days there ahead of my Splendor cruise to Alaska. As long as you’re subscribed here with notifications you’ll get a notification.

Also on this cruise. Getting to Seattle on that Saturday. Excursions for Icy straight point now showing.

One of the few things not included  in cheers

Definitely. JH told someone on FB not to book an excursion because we are not going there. If he knows that, Carnival knows that. They should let people know so plans can be made. There are a lot of people who maybe haven't been on as many cruises that think we're still going to Jamaica even if Grand Cayman is changed. It just can't happen with our schedule...Not unless we only do two ports which I can't see Carnival doing on an 8-day cruise. I'm really surprised by the number of people who are super excited to go to Jamaica. It must be their first time. I was excited for Dunn's River Falls but after that....not so much. I want Belize and Costa Maya but I'm expecting Belize and Roatan...which isn't bad.

 

Last Sunday I just got off the 8 day Dream cruise out of Galveston. Key west was canceled as expected. Then we couldn't stop at Half moon Kay. 8 day cruise and only two stops. Freeport and Nassau.

I just went through it again. If I book it as a new flight it's $540 cheaper than if I try to change my existing flight. It doesn't make any sense. It's like they're charging me a $540 change fee.

I thought if they changed a flight by more then 4 hours they had to give a refund if requested. I have done this on American airlines before.

Tell them you can not longer make you trip do to there change, cancel and rebook the week earlier.

I'm sailing the last week of May. Received new cabin info on Wednesday. I'm now starting to see some excursions, yet nothing for icy straight point.

I would have preferred the splendor to freedom or spirit. A real cloud 9 spa for a cold weather cruise. I'm getting off a ship the Same day Saint Greg gets on. Now we don't know what ship it will be.

You might not be able to judge it yet. As the ship starts getting  close to the set limit they could be removing open rooms.

The splendor does fit into the new locks. Did a reposition from Miami to Long Beach on her.

My last, 3 cruises I have been stuck paying $100 for each test at urgent care centers set up for traveling. Walgreens and CVS have been useless. 

Closing in on 50 years old with 21 plus cruises and still learning new things like baby powder for sandy feet. Now on shopping list. My next cruise is October 16.
