Pictures will certainly follow. You will love it. One thing I love is that you get 4 internet accounts for your room. Having 2 media device attached I won't have to sign in every time we come back to room.

Sorry - I really didn't notice. I have YouTube TV and am able to watch live as well as record and watch when available.

Hmmm.. maybe they are going to work Mar heavy. Ken who is a Customer Service person was suppose to leave last week but with Pennappoli's unexpected need to return home was extended a cruise and Mar was shifted here (1 day prior to the cruise).

Heading north. Winds are at 25 knots from north and sea’s choppy but smooth temps cooling to 75. Not a cloud in the sky

Cabana Time There was one being used today (sea day). these are on Starboard (heading north) One was booked Port Side and looked like in shade (morning) I met Mansur and had a chat. He normally works at Murano. He confirmed the Menu I posted is the same on all ships but also said you could also order anything off of Room Service Menu He said we go out of our way to fill requests and dietary requirements

I've done it before using a Private Car Service and had no problem Last time in Southampton on a B2B the ship was totally zeroed out and B2B processed at 9:15. Even if really bad traffic would be less than 2 hours. A good way to play is to go to Google Maps and put in Origin and Destination and then choose either car or public transit and day of week and time of day and will calculate with normal traffic

The had a well attended sing along in Foyer

Oops.... I just announced ==== This is your wake up call - get your A@@ out of bed it is 9:45 - Ol grumpy said -- No it's not - we gained our hour back last night. I forgot to update the time on my laptop.

The weather has been perfect. The first day out of LA is a bit cool at about 18-20 C but quickly warm up by day at sea number 2. I've been living in shorts and a T during the day for the past week. I do bring sun lotion as the sun is really strong

YOu can search on https://pevvesseltraffic.broward.org/webx/ Do a custom Query magnifying glass and put in date range of the 1st day and last day of the month and year you will be sailing. The Show all limits only to 500 so have to limit to a shorter period by date like this

Wanted to say we usually purchase a Premium Bar Setup. Includes 1 Liter bottle Premium booze of your choice and mixers. Cost is $120 plus 18% Grat. I usual pick it up when on sale. Iain enjoys a drink after we return to our cabin and finds it more convenient than picking up a drink and carrying it to the room. I know - 3rd world problem. As a comparison you can buy 2 Bottles of Gray Goose for $60 in duty free. Somehow I always buy them on the last night of a B2B and they somehow show up in our room.. Wonder how that happened. We just got upgraded to a RS so I guess we don't have to do that as we will get 2 Liters for a 8 day cruise....

I haven't tried ATT at sea but am using Calling over WiFi an had no trouble placing and receiving calls over the Internet. Solstice just installed StarLink (not real impressive) and calls have been good. I do have a premium account. I was talking with our daughter and got cut off a couple times but was walking laps so probably being dropped switching between routers and not the service itself.

No. They don't have the technology to use the iWatch in that manner. You should put your iWatch in airplane mode or may be surprised with satellite charges.

Next cruise - Got some numbers last night. B2B's 20 of us. Next Cruise currently at 1,558 which will be about 200 fewer than this cruise.

Cunard is on our short list of our first adventure off of Celebrity after 23 years. Right now the leader of the pack is Ponant.

Sorry if I missed the email. Last Friday I the stitches removed after 2 month. The doctor said he was finally able to "almost" declare it a success. I've been tapering down the Prednisone to 2x a day for 2 weeks and 1x for 2 weeks when we return in a week. He wants to to see me 2 weeks after I'm off prednisone. It's amazing what they can do with micro surgery. The side benefit was they did a Cataract Surgery at the same time so now I no longer need glasses.

Happy it will be on deck 10 - 1118. It's a long climb up the stairs from al Bacio to Deck 12. When I passed the 10th this morning I thought how nice it will be next week.

Yes that's where I got it. It is a fun shirt. They only place I saw it was in a little gift shop a couple blocks from the main street. I even had someone in a car lean out and Yell Hey Stud.. LOL

Last night they had the Full size Filet on the Luminae. They also had the Turbot and we both chose that instead. It is a perfectly composed dinner.

My understanding is that it is the same on all of the ship but different paper and format.

I would agree but this one had a curly tail like a basenji. I'm sure she was a mutt, as it was in a little village with only one store and a school.

Glad to hear as the Short Rib appetizer I had was delicious. You must have gotten the fat that was missing from mine. As I said my waiter said he likes them but doesn't like the .... didn't know the word for it and said the slimy stuff it sometimes has. I have to admit the 4 ounce Filet from the Kid's menu I had last night was just the perfect size for me and loved it.

Here's the one from Edge but it is the same on all ships 1 Liter Bottle from those listed and anything you want on the menu When you take into consideration that a bar setup of 1 Liter Bottle Premium is $120 it makes the experience more "reasonable". You can take it with you back to your stateroom for later drinks.

Diane & Henrietta - Really didn't notice any in particular. We did see dogs all over the place taking a siesta. You know what a sucker I am for dogs. I did share my taco with one at the Taquilla place. Very strange dog - markings of a Beagle but about 3 feet tall. I'll have to see if I can find Henrietta a Mexican Boyfriend.

Was notified yesterday that we were moved up to a Royal. Yea.
