Just a word for @ReneeFLL Re. solarium 18+... don't do it... don't engage... abandon all hope if you get sucked down into that vortex of contention. LOL 🤣

I have never understood America's fascination with baseball. It is an interminably boring game. <fire suit on>

Congrats on the weight loss Greg @Sea Dog. I'm on the same journey but I started further behind and still have a long ways to go. I was 296# when I boarded Navigator of the Seas Jan 30 of this year. I weighed 254# this morning. Except for one week in March (Oasis of the Seas w/ UDP) It's been slow but steady progress. I'm 6'2" so I can handle a little bit more weight but my goal is 230#

I've got a quick question and don't want to bother starting a new thread over it. On my Adventure of the Seas cruise coming up in Feb., it is my birthday while I am onboard. Should I let Royal know in advance and do I get any little extra thing on my birthday. 🎂

Exactly,

Thanks for this referral. I just went and booked them. I haven't had much success over the years with shared shuttle services. Hopefully this one is different.

Full-time registered longshore workers earned an average of $197,514 in 2022, not including benefits. Benefits include... full insurance coverage, a 401(k) and a pension with a maximum yearly retirement benefit of $95,460. Benefits are valued at $100,534 they don't need my $2 a bag. I'll save my tip money for workers on the ship. 🙂

Cabin 6578 Anthem of the Seas

Awesome news, You deserve a great trip.

You have to get the RP not the Soda package for the non-drinker.

I'll be following! I would love to get to Bermuda.

Thanks for keeping us updated Dani... be safe you are in our thoughts.

I'm hoping all goes well with the surgery Greg. With all you have going on you have to be organized. A mild case of OCD might even be helpful.

I just thought I would post this to all you weather complainers... 🙂 My next two weeks look pretty rough. Hopefully I'll survive. 🙂

I've got one you can have 🙂

Mine updated in about a week. You should be fine.

I'm on Harmony B2B in December and considered Royalup but the first week we're with family in 3 different OV balcony cabins so moving up one cabin seemed a bit of a waste since we obviously want to spend time with family and wouldn't be able to take full advantage of the suite benefits. Week 2 we're in a different cabin by ourselves in CP balcony and the best royalup we were offered is a JR Suite. that didn't seem like it was worth it since all we'd get is embarkation and CK for a few dinners.

There is no Playmakers on Harmony.

Some of the best conversations and most interesting people I have met on a cruise has been while seated at the bar alone.

We had it on Odyssey and loved it Unlike on other ships the English Pub has a bit of food as well. Chicken wings, Poutine and Nachos among other things, if I remember right. We had lunch there at least twice if I think.

It is functioning as normal for me...

Thank you. As an expat days like today always make me a little nostalgic and miss home. I'm going to find a place to make me a turkey dinner tonight. DW is away for a few days so I'm flying solo. 🇨🇦 Hockey season starts tomorrow. Canucks first game is Wednesday. Watching keeps me connected to home. It's depressing because it's been over a decade since we had any prospect for success but it's still home in my heart.

This isn't new as far as I can tell. When we were there in March there was no internet. I remember specifically thinking I wanted to text my wife while she was on a kayak excursion to let her know I was leaving our cabana and going to eat lunch. I don't think there has ever been private excursions either. .

The whole thing doesn't make any sense at all.
