Happy to hear you made a decision - welcome to HAL! We're here to answer questions if you have any.

Thanks for bringing us along. AK is my happy place. Bon Voyage!

@Seasick Sailor we use Passport Health in TX for travel shots.

Hope the nurse is able to bring you some comfort. No rush - we'll be here 😊

Welcome home @kazu! May you find the Great Cracker Shortage of 2024 has ended and all is right with cheese plates again.😉

Thanks for letting us tag along and for entertaining us along the way. And supplying us w/great pictures and videos. Hope you enjoy the "new" car🫣 Safe travels home!

+1 (or more if it helps us get pictures 😉)

@dfish fajitas🫔 sound great! (Not a fajita, but the closest I could find.) Thanks for the sound recommendation over Eleanor 😀 I had no idea where we were going with that.

Interesting collection of days: definitely support awareness of childhood strokes - that is just something no child should have to endure. When he was a toddler, my grand nephew had a series of strokes as a result of being pinned under a car; he's a trooper, having survived both, but has lifetime complications. Pass on the drink (although it is pretty), happily try the wine, not been to the port, no idea about the meal 🤷‍♀️ Hugs @kazu. Congratulations @StLouisCruisers to Morgan!🍾🎓 The Stars🏒 must win tonight - extra support appreciated. 😊 Currently 64° headed to 81° with rain again tomorrow. Prayers 🙏 and positive thoughts for all.

Bon Voyage @Heartgrove

Bon Voyage @YourWorldWithBill

Bon Voyage - your itinerary is amazing!! @StLouisCruisers @Harboursiders @StartrainDD

Bon Voyage - what a great itinerary!! @Navybikermom @Iamthesea

Bon Voyage @Murray's Pop

The ship looks great - looking forward to seeing the rest of your pictures as well as read your insights. I was on Venezia (B2B Sept) so I'm very interested in how well you think they did w/the conversion from Costa.

We have, too. We've been told that everyone who sits at the table gets charged. It's not about the number of people tying up seats, it's about revenue - they don't want people sharing food w/people who aren't paying for food. @wareaglefan444 But always worth asking.

I always have to call to have them do it.

I know you & your wife are going to have a great cruise - by now, you've already been down the Mississippi and seen how nice that cruise is. I'll be following along & look forward to your pictures. 🤞Hope @Noledad77 is able to get the FSU jersey to you so you'll only have 2 left. Safe travels- enjoy your cruise!

And there's Teppanyaki. Lunch is same menu & portion sizes as dinner, but lower price.

Some cabins had ice buckets and some did not. We took a folding ice bag & had no issues w/cabin steward keeping it full. It folds flat, so easy packing.

Patience... Great pictures, worth the effort - thank you!

Happy to hear it all came back together- and GC funds were put back on GCs.

This happened Jan in HI on K'dam - 4*, 5*, Suites & CO met in PG to board tenders. Later in the day, no need for tickets, but for the first morning runs, it's important to pay attention to the tender ticket process.

🏇Kentucky Derby Day 🏇 Great collection of days - Firefighters are amazing. Hard & quick pass on the meal (fish), the drink sounds good, would try the wine, not been to the port. Big day in history. Safe travels @Heartgrove Good night for the Mavericks🏀 who won Round 1 of the playoffs; not so much for the Stars🏒, who will now play a Game 7. Let's go Stars!! Currently 66° headed to wet 77°; rain should start around 10 this morning & let up briefly on Tues. Prayers 🙏 and positive thoughts for all.

So happy to hear you enjoyed HAL and will return!
