A Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate. Here's a timeless tidbit for dessert:

My travel agency(home to a lot of folks on this board) has announced a virtual trivia contest, with the winner being awarded a seven day Crystal cruise. It's therefore reasonable to conclude the questions will be heavily Crystal oriented. I had hatched a scheme to enlist @BWIVinceas my ringer. Then I read on and discovered the winner would be drawn at random. Drat. The man would have slayed on the Harmony questions.

Yeah, and it has its own song:

If you're referring to T-Day, I dunno. That's a day Mz Chef bans me from the kitchen(sheesh, you try to burn down the Chez with that one deep-fried turkey attempt gone terribly wrong, and some people just won't let you forget about it...) Anyway, it'll be turkey. It's not that OLoPP even loves a turkey dinner that much, but she luuuuvs her cold turkey sliders in the evening. I mean really she's kind of obsessive about going cold turkey(you know what I mean.) What about you? What's on the menu in tofu land?

Ms Peach, Thank you for your always entertaining and informative posts. Your entries read like a spring breeze feels(that's supposed to be a compliment.) Living in Maryland, I had never heard of Humphry Slocombe ice cream. I now have 6 pints on the way. You should get a % of the transaction!

Would someone please put a wooden stake thru the heart of the topic, in its various forms?

Ah, I know you were most favorable with regard to your Silversea cruise(or cruises,) Contrasting impressions will be interesting.

That's a little harsh. Me thinks you'll live.

I can already see the ad campaign(well, they are trying to attract a younger demographic):

Two Regent noobs boarding Dec 21, MIA-LA. I think I've worn out Youtube watching every RSSC video I can find. Excitement is building. Secure in the knowledge we will have a marvelous time(we always do, that's the frame of mind we bring to every lux cruise.)

I'm with you on this big time, Vince, I even have every Reflections from every cruise we've been on(oh yeah, I know you do too.) But, as John Maynard Keynes famously observed "in the long run, we're all dead." Just like paper.

Cue the "I get so many wasteful mailers" posts.

The Explora reviews have not been anywhere near unanimous in such praise. (This is an understatement.)

Thanks for the kind words Lish, but OLoPP and I just turned the odometer on 40, so it's looking like we're going to make it.🙂

Well, there are You Tube videos and then there are YOU TUBE videos. You know, the ones with soundtracks so lush they fall a foul of the copyright police,. And they feature more than talking head shots of onboard octogenarians. And oh yea, Delicious Libation makes an appearance, as does the OG BAB.. Ans let's not forget the author. Where are those guys?

Well, it happens to the best of us:

Here you go @BWIVince, time to travel south: https://dc.eater.com/2023/10/11/23913253/perrys-dc-japanese-breakfast-service-masako-morishita-coming-attractions?ueid=4eba6b281d9f0c8ecfc26836a0d720b7

So that's what he sounds like:

Bug Light? Here's the GOAT:

Oh, that must be the waaambulance I hear.

You've never priced a tux in your life, unless it's a used one from a rental company.

Oooooh, that use of guarantees never occurred to me. That certainly helps demystify the whole "hey our guarantee got upgraded" phenomenon.

We got the September offering a couple of night ago. It came in 33 containers. I swear, I'm working as hard putting these pre-made meals together as I would whipping up a simple at home. Might be verging on overkill. To put it in this board's terms: some nights you're ready for the Osteria, some nights you just want Prego. (That's a semi-wry comment, so let's pass on the what-do-you-mean "just" want Prego replies.)

Wishing you fair winds and following seas Phileas.

When did this board turn into a cross between the Food Channel and the Hell's Kitchen TV show? -Asking for the proprietor of an imaginary bistro(not to be confused with a restaurant.)
