@SarahHben. Our Standard aft balcony on Britannia in April. Graham.

Happy birthday Ryan.

Happy birthday Gary.

Good afternoon. It is currently 52°F and cloudy here in North East England. Thank you for a great selection of days and fleet reports Rich. Happy Memorial Day a very important day. Today's wine sounds nice. Our last cruise before covid was a cruise from San Francisco to Hawaii and back to San Francisco and it was amazing. Wishing everyone on the care list a full recovery. Take care and stay safe everyone. Graham.

I have seen when someone does a Live From thread a rare sign with a ship underneath appears on their avatar photo. This was our aft balcony on Iona Deck 14 and you can see the big white roof of the sunset bar. I think lower balconies might not see the wake at the back of the ship.

Lovely to hear from you Sandi. Wishing you both an amazing time and cruise. Graham.

Lovely pictures Lenda. This is how I pictured in my mind what Polynesia would be like. This photo was after church and a McDonald's takeaway in Seaham, County Durham, England. No way as exotic as your photos but it is only 5 miles from home. Graham.

Looks delicious Brian.

On Royal Caribbean most people stand at the bar to get drinks. I like P&O because they usually had lots of drinks wait staff during our 14 night cruise on Iona in March and our 7 night staycation cruise on her last September.

We loved lots about Iona and she is one of our favourite ships now. Avoid deck 8 balconies and if you book an aft balcony for wake views beware decks 9,10,11 and 12 might have obscured views because of the big white roof on the outside Sunset bar. If you have any questions just ask. Graham.

Nice new picture in your CC Avatar Sarah. As you have done a Live From cruise review I believe you will be getting a CC Rare sign on your picture.

That would be a good idea imo @MISTER 67

Loss of taste and smell, shivering, overheating and constant cough are the main symptoms of covid. We have packs of Lateral flow tests at home and Pauline tested positive for 6 days in March after we got off a 14 night cruise on P&O Iona. I tested negative at the same time. We both tested negative before our April cruise on P&O Britannia and negative this month before our RC Anthem cruise. For your own piece of mind why not get some Lateral flow tests and test yourselves nearer your cruise before having your supervised Antigen test to allow you to board your ship. Graham.

Send your dear wife our very Happy birthday wishes.

Best wishes Terri. Graham

I will follow them now Sue. As a lifelong fan of Sunderland it was a huge relief that we won the league 1 playoff and got promoted back to the championship.

I am so sorry to hear of baby Genevieve's passing Maryann. Please pass on our sincere condolences to all the family. Graham.

Good afternoon. It has been raining most of the morning but stopped for us when we got out of the car and went into church. Thank you @richwmn for taking the time every day to produce an interesting thread. Being from the UK I have never watched the Indianapolis 500. When called upon the International peacekeepers do a wonderful job. We usually buy compost from the garden centre. Not sure about today's quote as I have always tried to do my best in everything I do. Todays food and drink I'm not sure about. French Polynesia always sounds exotic and some day it would be nice to cruise there. I included our care list in my prayers at church today. Wishing everyone a lovely day. Graham.

Last time we were on Adventure was 2011 but we have been on almost every Royal Caribbean ship and every P&O ship and there has been a bathroom night light on them all. Personally I wish there wasn't a night light but my wife prefers it. I am really enjoying Roy's live from review. Graham.

I have never cruised on HAL primarily because we prefer to sail from England and there are no sailings to book unfortunately but I have been made to feel very welcome on here. The first time I posted on Princess forums someone asked what I was doing on their forums as I mainly posted on Royal Caribbean forums. I told them we were Princess Elite loyalty but that shouldn't matter. I believe this is a special place Terri. Take care. Graham.

Today is back to normal Terri. Please feel comfortable and enjoy the posts. Friends are here for you. Graham.

Good evening. A trip to the garden centre then an hour at the beach looking out to sea then in our garden. Just a regular day for us.

Fantastic photos Sue.

In my experience sailing in balcony or junior suite cabins they have all had night lights in the bathroom. Graham.
