Happy pre birthday party Graham. Horay on getting your pension.

My poor attempt at humor. 😜

We bought UDP on Symphony for our September cruise at $166.00pp. We felt it was a good price for us.

Great advice. Great pictures of a beautiful place. I am sure John would like the Lemoncello.

I went back and checked and you stated you are getting into San Juan early in the morning so that means you need a good lunch spot too. We went to Barrachina home to the original Pina Colada. It's within walking distance of the Casablanca. There Pina Colada's are amazing. They use no ice but it is so creamy. The food is amazing too. I had the friend plantain stuffed with seafood. Highly recommend this for lunch.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. It has become my favorite rum. Here is the nutritional data on Kraken. Calories: 105 per 1 oz. 1 carb per 1 oz. 1.9g sugar per 100 ml on the rum which is not that bad. Good news is that Kraken is good for those on Keto diet. It's low on carbs. The Sunsational colada mix is a lot more Calories from 2.7 oz 150 Calories from fate 3.5 g Sodium 95mg Carbs 28 g Sugars 27 g Thanks. starting to feel a little better. Thank you. Mainly resting at home taking it easy. Mowing the grass is going to have to wait. You could make a version for her using the Jordan's Skinny Mixes. That is what I do for Linda. https://www.skinnymixes.com/products/skinny-pina-colada-mix

Trust me "Going Big" is not what it's cracked up to be. Yes on board put your phone in Airplane mode. It will still allow you to I-message and wi-fi calling.

Thank you for reposting. Yes I apparently missed it as I am so behind. I've tried to keep up but it's nearly impossible. I too am amazed how the crew can remember people. I'm glad you enjoyed the Baton Rouge 2.5. I still son't know why Royal took it off the bar menu. I think it's a good cocktail.

What's nice about Raices is that it is an easy walk from the Casablanca Hotel. Now they don't take reservations but they move people pretty quick. So put your name in at the stand just outside, then walk inside to the bar and get some cocktails. You can also order an appetizer then take it outside and eat until they call your name. They originally told us it would be an hour wait but it was more like 30 minutes. The menu is great and there combination plates I got this. It was amazing. Some of the best food I have ever eaten in my life.

That is so awesome. Did he remember me? How did you like the cocktail? I'm so happy you did this. Thank you, Thank you!

Don't worry about typos I do them all the time with my fat fingers on the phone. We all understand it's hard on a phone especially on a moving ship.

You know me...Go big or go home.

Hi Deb, Sorry I'm a little late but I'm here for you. You will do great on your first Live review. I am really looking forward to hearing more about Voyager since we will sail on her for the first time next October. I'm interested in knowing the condition she's in. How is the food and the internet speed. And of course I would love to know about the bars and how they are stocked for bourbon and whisky. If you meet any great bartenders let me know. I am excited that you are staying at the CassaBlanca Hotel. We loved it. I will be interested in your opinion. Make sure to have a cocktail in their little bar right off the lobby. It's a fun little place. And if you get a chance eat at Raices. Incredible Puerto Rico food.

Great review and thank you for taking us along. It was fun being on three ships at the same time. Mine, yours and John's. Your pictures were fantastic.

Here is a pic of a separated shoulder

Yeah I need to find a normal xray and compare.

I'm glad you made it home safe and sound. I'm sure Bella was happy to see you. We did 3 loads of laundry yesterday and another 3 today. Been busy getting cruise stuff packed away until the Bella Cruise. Only 138 more days!

I did receive a new cruise vacation pic to share. Not sure I can see the fracture but if the doctor says it's there I trust him. Feeling better today. Hopefully on the mend.

That makes sense to me especially on a ship where there are metal walls everywhere. I sure the signal can't hand off very well from one area to the next. I like your idea of screenshots of the pictures. I will try that next time.

I got a new cruise vacation picture to share. I don't see the fracture but then again I'm not a trained radiologist.

Yes it's nice that they don't allow 18 wheelers but I must say all the cars was just as crazy. As much as I liked it Buc-ee's was almost too busy for me. Too many people and way too many cars. I think I like smaller gas stations with less people. I will go back to Buc-ee's again hopefully when I have more time and don't feel rushed. Happy Anniversary and wishes for more years of happiness. I love the wedding picture. And oh how I love that bar. Love the menu with the Old Fashioned's. And it looks like several people have gotten a glass of the Louie XIII. Cheers to you on your special day! Thanks I was very relieved to hear that. And yes the pain is a lot better today.

The Brazilian Steakhouses here in town do the same thing. Put out fancy apps and sides so you load up on them and don't save room for the meats. I put minimal sides on my plate and tell them give me the meat. It's like the ultimate "Meat Buffet."

Just got back from my doctors office who took new X-rays on my left shoulder. He confirmed what the ER doc said. Separated shoulder (joint type 3 injury) and hairline fracture of the tip of the clavicle. He said it will heal on it's on, no surgery and that I don't need to wear the sling unless I want to for comfort. The cause, it wasn't not taking my blood pressure meds though he reminded me to always take my meds. But was caused by Micturition syncope which is most common in older men and usually when getting up at night from a deep sleep. The exact cause of micturition syncope isn't fully understood. But it may be related to a fall in blood pressure when you get up suddenly and stand at the toilet. My doc said the fact that I was dehydrated didn't help matters. He also said I had virtually nothing as far as blood/alcohol content so the two cocktails did not cause anything. Bottom line, I'm getting older and things like this can happen. He said being careful won't guarantee it won't happen again. Main thing is if I start to fell lightheaded sit immediately on the floor.

Now I would buy that! Great job Bob on the photo.
