See, it's things like this that make you my hero... You providing these saves me a lot of time. Please accept a gold star or similarly appropriate reward recognition mcbob w/my sincere thanks!!🏆🏅 or an extra bread pudding if that's preferred 🍪 (this was the closest I could find, but you can still have the bread pudding instead of a cookie). Sincerely, thank you!

I do! A combo dvd/vcr player 😊 Now don't ask when the last time we used it, but it is hooked up.

So the increase to $69.95 is very recent?

Hi - not Zonk42, but there has been much discussion that MDR embarkation lunch has been discontinued fleetwide. 😪 So you'll need to plan on Lido, pizza, burger or ... maybe GDC will be open as that's a great lunch alternative on K'dam.

Yikes! Last year Feb 2023 they were $49.95.

The giant croissants @waiting2retire to posted are wonderful. You can also have actual lunch lunch (as opposed to pre-lunch) there. The sandwiches, salads and soup are terrific. They have a nice bar w/different selection of beer and if course fabulous coffee, latte, cappuccino.

Correct.

Best wishes @rafinmd today's appt goes well and traffic is minimal.

YES!!

I've never tried to pre-order, so I can't comment on that. Service time is fairly quick depending on how crowded they are as sandwiches, etc are made to order. I think the longest I've waited is probably less than 10 min.

Love the beautiful pictures @Quartzsite Cruiser @GTVCRUISER thanks for posting them. Thanks @cat shepard for the SD port suggestions - I will try some if them next time I cruise from SD. I have a few pictures I will post when I'm out of this Dr office (sitting in exam room now - I think they forgot about me).

Thanks for the beautiful pictures @StLouisCruisers

Prayers 🙏 @ger_77 for DH surgery today.

3 important days today and a big day in history for late-night TV. The meal sounds good says the spinach, I would definitely try the drink and wine, all visits to San Diego have been for cruises but I've not explored the city. @kazu I'm glad Ivan is ok, but that's sad and scary that he was attacked. I hope your hear something soon on yourfoot.. Headed back to surgeon's office... Currently 77° headed to 86° w/thunderstorms beginning around 1. There's a flood watch again today. Prayers 🙏 and positive thoughts for all.

Congrats and job well done! It was probably a very recent cancelation.

Yikes! Those aren't small. Good to read you didn't find any damage. We know how quickly hail storms can pop up - stay safe.

I would jump on that deck 6 aft cabin. The wake views are fabulous!! Since you don't get any actual spa perks, IMO the spa on 10 is not worth it. I've stayed in one and loved it because of the proximity to the Crow's Nest (hence great coffee just a few steps away) and to the spa (I had a Thermalpass that I used 2x/day) but nothing beats a true aft wake view.

Glad you found it - yes, HAL website is far from the best. But glad you're here and I hope you continue to ask questions and enjoy your cruise!

So, I'm 0 for 2 this morning - shoulder surgeon was not in (he's at the hospital) so they told me to come back tomorrow and the tire had to be replaced. The good news is I got a wild hair and called the tree🌳 removal guy; he was only a few blocks away and came right over. He's able to get us on the schedule in less than a month, likely 2ish weeks depending on how much room he has on the trailers when he's near us. I told him I'd be flexible and to fit us in w/whatever works in his schedule. I understand all the rain has really messed everyone up and I appreciate his partnership. So, I guess the Universe traded me time w/an Ortho for an Arborist- it knows the damage the trees are causing to the roof & gutters. Silver lining?🤷‍♀️ I'll take my wins where I can find them.

Thanks @grapau27 for educating me on tea day; that's an important cause. Pass on the meal (although @dfish pics are pretty) and drink, would try the wine, not been to the port and look forward to the pictures (@StLouisCruisers yours are lovely). This morning I bet the surgeon says my shoulder is still not moving enough for surgery, but 🤞 I'm wrong. And if I am, that he signs the papers. Sometimes it's good to be wrong - today would be one of those times.🙄 After Dr is a stop by tire shop to get a nail removed from tire; hope they don't try to sell me a new one. Then will go by the produce store for radishes. That's it for today - after all that driving, I'll be doubling up on the eye drops. 🙏 all goes well for @JazzyV BFF and @kazu today and @ger_77 DH tomorrow. Currently 75° headed to cloudy 88° with rain starting tomorrow. DH needs to get the flowers in the ground so they can benefit from the rain. Prayers 🙏 and positive thoughts for all.

Such a sweet picture. I love that he head butts you - our fur babies instinctively know the way to our hearts.💕

+1 @1ANGELCAT @Cruising-along

Muster is now done by watching a safety video on your stateroom TV. You only have to go to your muster station to get your card scanned.

Happy Victoria Day 🇨🇦 for those who celebrate it.🥂 Thanks @0106 for the explanation of Draw Mohammed Day - I will pass. The 3rd salad from @dfish sounds & looks YUMMY, would try the drink & wine (if it were attainable), not been to the port. Hugs @Heartgroveto you and Sam. 🙏 @RMLincoln for a smooth eye appointment today and @JazzyV BFF surgery tomorrow goes well. Thanks @StLouisCruisers for the beautiful cake pictures - such a talented group of bakers. Currently 79° headed to sunny 91° w/rain returning Wed. Prayers 🙏 and positive thoughts for all.

My top 2 are the Collagen and the Superfood. I usually get the Superfood since it's not offered at my local land spa, but the Collagen is. I do buy products online direct from Elemis (at a discount) and as @LAFFNVEGAS said, they really tone down the sales pitch when I tell them that.
