The old app is suppose to go away on February 1.

It seems Daryl has some new competition. Flo Mingo ain’t fraid of no snow.

Happy Heinz Anniversary. #57 Don’t know if they still do it, but if you sent a copy of your marriage certificate and a letter signed by husband and wife, to Heinz, they would send you a gift. My parents got one when they had theit 57th.

It seems we are just the opposite. Deck 6 on Oasis class and deck 8 on quantum class. Just a short walk to Schooner bar on O class. Priorities, priorities.

Plus gratuity. When we bought some on Symphony, it was stale, and a mighty small portion. How was it on Jewel?

it was $32 per day on Allure this month. Maybe higher price was a function of the shorter cruise. We shared our free days and didn’t buy. Just plan to use our free days on Utopia too.

I can beat all your port days.

Take the duck. It could be like a Friends of Daryl live report!

It is on the, soon to be new, Sun Princess. I say soon to be new, because it is just finishing sea trials and has the inaugural sailing in Europe next month. Our sailing is a seven night Western Caribbean from Ft. Lauderdale. Fits nicely after the family gets together at our rented beach house next Christmas/New Year. The last time we sailed Princess, they were just starting to roll out medallion, so we haven’t experienced that yet. I am excited to see the new ship. It appears to be very similar in size to Odyssey, and it will be their largest ship.

Yes he did. Now he is trying to figure out how to improve his racing skills.

When we were at the Beach Club a couple weeks ago, only two fools had booked those $4,000 cabanas. The rest sat empty. I guess Royal figures it is easier to find two willing to pay $4,000 than it is to find ten willing to pay $800.

That is a downright bargain. Better book before it goes up.

Ricky is showing more energy. Gearing up for hockey.

Don’t like the lanyards either. I thought I read that the medallions are roughly the size of an Apple air tag, and some people are using air tag holders. I use these for my AirTags, and thinking about picking some up for the medallions I may get leather and silicone to see which works best. Anyone used AirTag holders for theirs?

Happy birthday to Dick. 🎂🎈🎉

Icon not wait for this. Now I have another tab open. All I can say is you all have your work cut out for you, because……

Happy birthday to Jack. 🎂🎈🎉

Maybe the trick with the photos is to find one they are happy with and stick with it. They did retakes on a couple of cruises, but then they were satisfied with the photos of us that I did in early 2022. I have used those same photos for the last five cruises, without any retakes required. I have even used them when I checked in for our Princess cruise next January. Will see how it goes for our next Royal cruise this year. Maybe we are at that point where we don’t change much.

Sounds like my day. Three driveways done, and some adult beverages. Fortunately, we have a warm up on the way next week.

Me too. Hope you have smooth seas and great weather. Bon Voyage

I don’t remember seeing these signs, until just a few years ago. When we were disembarking in Southampton in 2019, that is exactly what happened. Someone was taking their big suitcases down the escalator, and they lost control of them. It injured several people below them, and they had to shut the escalators down and everyone had to use the elevators. It delayed our getting off the ship by about an hour. They will let you on the escalator with a large bag, but you have to have a free hand to hold the rail. Maybe that incident, or others like it, prompted those signs.

The question is, who is rushing out Monday to buy an Applebee’s Date Night Pass? I will just stop with that. I was going to add a video of date night at Applebee’s, but I thought…..Yeah, that one will get me in trouble!

From the size of the cabin in that photo, it has to be one of the accessible ones on deck 14.

Same with us. I picked my cabin with Plus.

A lot of the same that they have had out already. You would think that by now, those areas on the deck plans that say Coming Soon, would have been updated.
