I would book as a solo. I always get 3rd party travel insurance. If I were to book a phantom #2 in the cabin and have to cancel, the insurance would only pay me the Passenger 1 portion, off of Royal’s booking confirmation breakdown - showing my portion cruise fare as passenger 1. I would not get reimbursed the balance ( 30% off or 60% off, depending on promo) in passenger #2 name, even though I would pay it all. But that’s just me. If you don’t buy insurance, would not apply !

@mrmoviezombie, we’re you able to specify whether your clothes were to have hot or cold wash, and hot or low dryer?

Oh, I love your garden, @grapau27 !

Good Monday morning! Love the quote, and had plenty of creamsicles and played lots of wiffle ball as a kid, with my kids, and with my grandkids. prayers to our care list and those in needs. Smiles and cheers for those celebrating and traveling. Have a wonderful day Daily friends.

Good Sunday morning, and thank you for the Daily and contributions, photos and anecdotes. @summer slope, I was so happy to see the black sunset cocktail is really red! Thank you for the recipe and picture! @0106, we have an air fryer that the teen grandson loves to use to heat frozen chicken strips or nuggets, hash brown patty, and even reheat left over pizza 🍕 slices to keep a crispy crust. With this string of 100+ degree days we’ve had, it sure helps keep the kitchen cooler - no oven needed. I’m a middle child, and surprised to have a Middle Child day. In my experience, the middle child tries to fly under the radar, not call attention to myself. I’ve always heard middle children are peacemakers - I’m not sure about that, but I avoid arguments and am ready with a smile. I’ll follow @grapau27 lead, and say prayers for our care list at church this morning.

Thank you for the Daily, and Happy Birthday 🎂 🎈 @richwmn ! @JazzyV, thank you for the Care and Celebration report. I love the Days, today! Kool-Aid reminds me of summer days as a kid. What was your favorite flavor? Grape or Black Cherry for me! Also love this day in history - what would we have done without Mr. Singer? Have a happy Saturday, everyone !

@smitty34877, lots of hugs and prayers to you both.

Thank you all for todays Daily contributions! Prayers for all on the Care list, and all in need. Cheers to those with happy news and traveling. enjoy your Friday!

How exciting for Ren and his team! I hope you are able to stream some of their games. That’s wonderful news,

That sounds delicious, Enjoy the family time.

Wow, it’s fortunate that it came off in the dentist’s office, and not while you were traveling. safe travels, and have a great day

Wonderful picture!

Same here!

Happy Saturday, Dailyites! @kazu, I like your take on today’s quote, and agree. It keeps us from getting complacent. I like today’s day in History. The pasta salad recipes look delicious and perfect for these hot Texas summer days, but I’d be the only one eating it in my family. Thanks to all for your contributions to the Daily thread. Prayers to all in need. Happy thoughts for all with celebrations or cruising.

That’s a nice surprise.

Thanks, all, for today’s Daily and Fleet report, F&B recipes, and port photos and stories! Although I Haven’t been posting lately, I have been following along and enjoying the stories, the memes, the photos, the food and drinks, and the caring for each other. Praying for all on our increasing Care list. Cheers for those celebrating or traveling. have a wonderful day and stay cool!

RNB, that’s for the backstory. I had no idea Eskimo Pie ice cream sandwiches had been renamed!

oh how sad. Prayers for the family

YAY! Enjoy 🛳

You’re having fun. We Toasted you from the Scarlett DR awhile ago !

Thanks for your review!

Hey we’ll be onboard too! 2 days, better pack, lol ! DD is also a Texas teacher, and she’s looking forward to some R&R before the soon to arrive teacher work days. The 3 Grands are looking for fun and non-stop action before they have to drag themselves back to High School. Hmmm - will there be a winning side, or can a compromise be made? We have connecting Cove balconies. Can’t wait to be that close to the water! Will be following your thread as well !

Thank you - great information !

yikes, take care!

Oh how sad! So sorry you weren’t able to board. Hopefully you can sail another time. A warm welcome to cruise critic
