+1 @kazu YAY!

Interesting collection of days; pass on the meal & drink; would try the wine; not been to the port and would love to go, but airfare is cost prohibitive. Very much look forward to the pictures; thank you @StLouisCruisers for the ones you've posted. Thank you @aliaschief for the beautiful pictures. Dr that ordered yesterday's MRIs is out of town for 2 weeks, so the reports will be waiting for her when she returns. She told me if the show anything to ask my shoulder surgeon for a referral. Prayers 🙏 @kazu you get the news you want today at Dr appt and for @JazzyV procedure goes well for your BFF. Today is work all day. I'll finish a User Guide I've been working on and sit in on a webinar. Thank goodness I'm not hosting as my head is still pounding. Currently 70° headed to rainy 88°. Looks like there's a wet cold front moving in this weekend. Prayers 🙏 and positive thoughts for all.

@StLouisCruisers Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 to Lisa!

@Cruzin Terri Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 to DH Jim!

@sailingdutchy Happy Birthday to DW Martha!🎂🥳

We do need more choices, don't we? It was funny but not when that little car just kept spinning in circles. 🥺 The pork chops were not warm but they smelled good and after a brief re-heat, he ate them so couldn't have been too bad. I hope yours were good.😊

Argh - Grub Hub app shows our driver is spinning in circles. No matter how loudly or frequently I tell Lauren to go the other way, her car does not point toward us. I fear DH will have cold pork chops...🤷‍♀️ or maybe Lauren's DH will have cold pork chops 🤔🥺 And no thank you, I do not care to order something from 7-11 so it can also not arrive.

Thank you - they were the easiest I've ever done probably due to the great tech! Hugs for you and Pauline today as you remember her late mam's birthday.

Oh geez - prayers you stay safe.

That is great news and a very fast turnaround.

Those early show times were difficult to coordinate with dinner; I do hope they adjust them to a bit later. I did not attend any of the "camp activities" such as coloring or dot chasing, lol. The lectures seemed to always be SRO. I hope these help - enjoy your cruise!

Not @Crusin71 (thanks for letting me butt in) - here are a few sea day Dailies for the return to San Diego from the K'dam Dec 21 - Jan 6.

Hugs 🤗 @kazu please update us after you see the doctor. Here's hoping the Rx helps so you can go on your cruise. Here's an extra hug 🤗 and prayers 🙏

We were in Messina Nov 7, 2023 on the NS. We did a Godfather tour which was interesting and beautiful, drove the Amalfi Coast and went to Pompeii and Positano. I've shared those pictures so here are a few of the port of Messina as seen from our balcony. We had company Bye bye Messina Messina was port #7 on our itinerary.

Not sure about celebrating Blah! Blah! but someone will let us know why we should. Pie for a meal - yes please! Would try the wine, pass on the drink now that I know what it is, not been to the port; I'll check back to see the pictures I'm sure others will post. I did go to Messina Nov 2023 - will share pictures later. Big days in history. 2 MRIs this morning then a full day of work. Nothing exciting. Beautiful picture @seagarsmoker Not even 5am yet & it's already 72° - ugh. Headed to cloudy 84°. Prayers 🙏 and positive thoughts for all.

Yes, please - interested to hear first hand experience. Enjoy your cruise!

HAL has very recently changed the process to show noon on all boarding passes. I have not cruised since that change went into effect. You can still do priority boarding since you have that. If you're not in a rush to board, especially since MDR will not be open, you may find lighter crowds if you wait a bit. If you decide to board toward the front, just be diligent about showing your priority status so you don't get herded into a group that has to wait. Safe travels- enjoy your cruise!

Oh gosh - hope ice, elevating and some anti-inflammatory helps.

Jan on K'dam it was great; I have always skipped it before, but will not make that mistake again.

I move my pre-paid excursions to OBC on every cruise and have not ever been charged a penalty nor have I been charged a higher price if they've gone up. If you cancel the excursions yourself and rebook them to use OBC, you could possibly incur the penalty and pay a higher price (if there's been a price increase). It's very important you have the Shore Exc Desk handle the changes. Safe travels- enjoy your cruise!

If you don't get it sorted out before boarding, you can enlist the help of the Concierge.

I think 2 of the fur babies are following Tana's veggie regimen

Welcome to HAL! No self laundry on HAL, but they have absolutely the best laundry service- many threads about it here on CC. Yes your statement is available on the TV in your cabin. Safe travels- enjoy your cruise!
