Sea Dog

My thoughts will be of her when she starts her treatments again. I am hoping that things will get better. Thank you for the update. Let her know we are thinking of her. Sue you have a beautiful soul! Great photos! WOW!

Happiest of Birthdays wished to Toby!

Definitely looks pretty to me. Today's winner!!!!!!!!!

I just love the Champagne Bar. It’s got the class and intimacy that I love. I like that fact it’s smaller and usually less crowded than other bars. Plus it usually has some of the top shelf liquors including Louis XIII.

That's great Bonnie keep up the great work.

I'm am so happy you are having a great time. I agree it's fun to meet new people. I like being social. Have a great time. Drink one for me, cheers!

I know those are murals but I think they would be hard to put and be smooth without wrinkles. Kinda like putting wallpaper. Hey did you see my post about going to the Salty Dog?

Great review! Thanks for all your hard work and especially enjoying a classic old fashioned. Cheers to your next cruise!

Ha I wish.

Maybe you get a mural for your wall? Or one for your bedroom floor?

Recording for watching this Friday for our Cruzin’ For Cocktails. This Friday will be Strawberry Daiquiri night.

If you get a chance go over to the famous Salty Dog Cafe on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday and watch my best friend play and sing. His name is Dave Kemmerly. We grew up together and he was the best man at my wedding. He is an incredible guitar player, keyboard player that know's thousands of songs and can imitate a lot of great singers. He plays out on the deck from 6-10PM. You will be very impressed. Tell him Greg Steele sent you and that we are friends through Cruise Critic. I am not sure if he even knows my Sea Dog name. Enjoy. https://www.saltydog.com/

I think that sounds great. I'm doing a "As If Live" for Symphony since I don't trust the on board internet and mine will be photo heavy as well. Since I'm doing a review of all the restaurants via the UDP I want to put a lot of thought into it. I will take detailed notes and then write it when I get back home. I know others like live but I feel like I can have better control of the finished product if I can do it later. Not sure what I'm doing for liberty. Right now I'm not leaning towards anything but maybe posting pics here and answering anyone's questions.

So you are going to Hilton Head? How many days?

Interesting that you and I are going on cruises around the same time. Two cruises in two months we are so close yet far away. Are you going to review?

This is the first Labor Day I've had off in over 35 years. I always used to joke that Labor Day means I will be laboring. I think I'm really getting used to this retired life. Even better I am getting organized for our cruise. So tempting to start to pack but I won't. It is a great feeling when you lug the suitcases up from the basement.

What beautiful photos Sue of baby Theo. Welcome to world and congratulations to the family. Much love and joy is wished for you all. That's horrible. Plus you have the risk of serious injury to pitcher's knees from getting stuck in the mud. Sorry about the games.

My bad didn't have my glasses on and looked at the wrong number in my notes. Total for two plus Gratuity was $394.08 If you divide by 7 comes to $56.29 Also I'm not counting lunch in the restaurants on the two sea days. Still cheaper than most nice restaurants. Sorry for the mistake.

On our upcoming Symphony Sailing we bought the UDP for $166.99pp back in January of 2022. I thought it was a good deal. If you figure with gratuity for two it comes to $279.86 divide that by 7 nights in seven restaurants that's a $39.98 dinner. Considering the fact that last time I ate at Ruth Chris for two it was over $250. Win win in my book.

This is so true. I had the good fortune to get to know some real craft bartenders. It really is an art form. I've gotten to the point where when I am on board I can spot the really good ones and I will make it a point to seek them out have them make me something and tip really well. You can easily tell the ones who love their jobs.

That's too bad. It shouldn't be that hard to screw up since it only has 5 ingredients. My guess is that the bartender did not muddle the mint, lime and sugar long enough. The other thing is using quality mint. One other problem I have heard is using crushed ice instead of smaller cubes can dilute it too much losing taste.

That's an amazing photo Bob and that looks really cool what they did for the wall. That photo could earn you some money. Have you ever thought of being a contributor to Shutterstock? https://submit.shutterstock.com/

Happy 19th wishes to Chris.

I agree and thank you for the recipe. I will have to make that. Welcome back so glad you had a great time. Now you can start making those Kraken Colada's at home. Welcome home. Glad you got to hook up with Debbie and had a great time.

My guess (as a member of the media) the reason that they have not released few details is that they (the media) are not getting much information from the police since they are still doing their investigation. The media also wants to thoroughly confirm and attribute any information they get and verify it's truth. I'm sorry this happened. It's very sad the state we are in when you can't even go out and have a good time without fear of a fight or something more horrible happening. I really think that social media is part of the problem. We have become too much of a "Me" society. It's all about me and what I want. We have become too selfish as a society. It's now me instead of us. Sad. This is just my opinion and to not be taken as anything more than that. Do you know I've never had key lime pie? I always get chocolate if available. I need to try some key lime on Symphony in a couple of weeks.
