Look - can you guess where we are? Took the avocado 🥑 off the tacos before I remembered to take the picture, so you'll see them beside DH burger. The chocolate tart is like fudge on a plate.

Bon Voyage!!

Bon Voyage!!

I reached 4* during my last cruise, but had no recognition of it other than seeing it change in my profile when I log in. I sent an email to the Mariners Desk and received an email back that it would be recognized on my next cruise. Congrats @JanDom!!

Same

Impressive step count!!

You might want to look at HAL for AK - they're awesome.

Yes, sir!!

Cappuccinos and Americano plus fresh juice and omlettes and croissants (plain and chocolate) aka cornetto from the convenience store diner. Not sure why that picture is upside down - maybe it had the lucky danish... Wine for sail away has it's own seat in the shuttle - it has more room than I do, lol.

Yes, ma'am

Thank you, Mr Samsung, for the play-by-play. No steps recorded at exactly the start of a new day?! 🤔🙄 We'll see what he has to say at EOD cuz we are getting on a ship in just a few hours! Can you tell I'm excited?! Like a kid getting a box of puppies!!🤭🥴 No idea what to expect for sail away - I haven't searched for pictures so I could be surprised. Breakfast in an hour - Samsung should be happy - it's about halfway to Termini, so I'll get in a few steps.🙄

Served nightly in the steakhouse (no charge) on a sister cruiseline. Maybe #1 reason to sail with them, lol.

I was just going to ask if she brought an extra suitcase to haul her loot home, then I continued reading...🫣

Thank you on both accounts. Sadly, I've learned Game 2 did not go so well. Come on Game 3!!

Interesting collection of days - recently added to the growing Plush Family. Currently 64° headed to 77° Breakfast in less than 6 hours, then off to Nieuw Statendam. Spent a few days in Rome, going on a cruise and Rangers take game 1 - life is good!!

You're going to have a great time! Please be sure to post the link to your review so we can follow along (just like you did on mine 😊). May sound crazy, but I really liked that the windows could open on deck 10 - made eating a Guys burger extra special. Honest - it feels different. Be sure you go up there. If the windows aren't open, you're allowed to open them.

I wasn't able to screenshot quick enough to capture it, but the countdown clock had negative numbers: -0 hours, -10 min... it was cool - I've never seen that before.🤯🤔 This will have to do - it shows I'm onboard, lol, as I lay in the hotel room🛌🏼 looking at my packed suitcases🧳🧳 that just had luggage tags attached. We'll walk to breakfast 🥯🥞🥚, come back to haul our bags downstairs, checkout 🛎️and meet our driver. Then head over to meet Captain Draper (not really, but he was nice enough to welcome us aboard, so it is the polite thing to say) and have lunch 🥙on the Nieuw Statendam!!🚢 Looks like we'll have good weather for sail away 🛳️unless that wind warning comes into play. Today was nice with just a slight breeze; tomorrow should be just a bit warmer. Spent 3 days in Rome, heading out on a cruise and the Rangers took Game 1⚾ - could life be any better?! 😊 Nite💤 and caio for now.

Less than a day to go - breakfast in the AM, checkout at 11 followed by 11:05 shuttle to the port.

Hey @ninjacat123 @IntrepidFromDC would like to request a bag of soil as his souvenir if you'd be kind as to pack a bag for him🫣 Safe travels home! Our ride also picks us up tomorrow morning from hotel. If my trip is half as good as yours has been, it will be awesome. Looks like you had a great time. Thanks again for allowing us to tag along.

Hmm, maybe that's true. Next time you know someone who is here, have them smuggle you some out to use in your tomato garden and let us know how it turns out. For both your tomatoes and the smuggler, lol. I just know they have amazing flavor- game changer for the bruschetta.

Here's the problem w/enjoying the fabulous tomatoes - everything at home will now be tasteless. It took a lot to walk away w/o buying some of these from a stand near Trevi. They would not have made it to the bus stop!

We were hoping it would be a good Base Camp - think it was a good choice.

Wonder who would win the competition?

The guide said they do a decent job, but there are a LOT of rats there. Funny political story - rat population so bad one mayoral candidate made a promise to bring cats into the Colosseum to help rid it of rats!! I think this guy may be on his poster for re-election, 😆 🤣

Yummy!
