I find it amusing that Holland luggage tags are just slightly too big for my holders (which I bought for Royal Caribbean). Before I left for London, I engaged in some oragami to get them to fit (and printed them at 70% scale). I've now tagged our checked bags. And took care of the rest of the random things in the fridge. Time to take out the compost, trash, and recycling.

Well ... For inexplicable reasons, our fire alarm just went off, so we are wide awake. It's funny, I used to live in a building you could see the cruiseport from in Boston that had a faulty building fire alarm and a Jimmy John's with temperamental ovens. So the alarm went of a lot. Like on a weekly basis. And would go off for a long time. I was going on a Royal cruise out of Boston, and the morning of the cruise, as I was doing the final kitchen cleaning, the stupid alarm went off. I went outside and waited. And waited. And waited. Finally, I went back in, put in ear plugs, finished up, and went to the ship. I kid you not, you could here the alarm on the outside decks of the ship....

So, in terms of what we are doing in any of the ports, we don't really have plans. I've booked no excursions. I've done very literal research. We are just going to wing it .... To be fair, we went to all of these ports last year, and we are going back again at the end of August (on Zuiderdam) where we have a boatload of onboard credit and Have it All with its shore excursion credit

The food was pretty good, although the temperatures were kind of off - the soup could have been warmer, the pasta had definitely been heated too long. Red pepper soup (really good): Mezzaluna (I forgot a picture this time, so this from my last flight): Lemon meringue bar (quite tasty, and partially eaten here): I did not want one of their terrible hot sandwiches at 2:30 am UK time, but here is the one I got my last flight. Like, a £3 egg and mayo sandwich from M&S would be infinitely better. I was told this was a Ruben - I think that is a vicious slander. Also, why is it served with more bread ....:
