Do you know what year those pictures are from? Looks like maybe late 80’s to mid 90’s

I headed down a couple different rabbit holes this morning. Someone resurrected a thread about the SS Norway from four years ago. I didn’t realize I was still following that one. I had posted a few times on the Norway thread, and included some old photos from 1980. Of course, four years ago, we were about 6 days in on the 15 days to slow the spread. We were all at home, wondering what to do to pass the two weeks at home. Of course, that thread led me to the second rabbit hole, when I saw that I had linked Tim’s Live from the Song of Norway thread. That is so funny, even today. I recognized many familiar posters in that thread, when I read it again today. It is disappointing that some of the picture links at the end appear to be broken.

I definitely need to cut back on my visits to Starbucks. Always do a mobile order and pick up at the drive thru. This morning, when I pulled up to the speaker, all they said was “Good morning Mark. We have it ready for you, pull on up.” Susan never realized they have a camera in their speaker, until I pointed it out a few months ago.

If you close those bifold doors, does that let the AC work with the outer window down? Just curious if you could sit out there with the window down, and those doors closed so it would be somewhat like a traditional balcony. Don’t think that bubble is bursting just yet. That savings is spread across three OV balconies (2-2 person ones and 1-3 person one). Still gets it into a little more reasonable range for a 3 day sailing.

Today is International Day of Happiness. That was also the look on my face when I saw a price drop for our Utopia cruise this summer. Called and saved almost $1,800. So, yes, that was my happiness for the day. Told Susan that is almost enough for another cruise for the two of us.

Go to their deck plans and click the connecting cabin checkbox. It will highlight the connecting cabins. You can click on the cabin and see which one it connects to. They really should have symbols to make it more apparent.

We are on the first sailing in January, 2025.

Thanks for those pictures. We have the same cabin, only on deck 11, port side. I know I am going to try to have them bring us different chairs for the balcony, or at least some footstools. Would be interested if anyone has success at getting those changed out.

It is the date of the spring equinox, so it is March 19 where we live. I always thought it was the 21st too, but today was on my calendar. And, in honor of the first day of spring, DQ has free ice cream cones today

Hope everyone has a great first day of spring. It is 26° here, and it doesn’t look like spring. Just booked our flights to San Francisco and back, so we can pick up our grandson for the summer. Now, less than three months until the start of Summer of Fun 4.0.

+1. I was so sorry to year this.

That food looks delicious. You may have to share the restaurant name. I may want to take the family when we are in the Bay Area in June, to pick up my grandson for the summer.

A green zombie, to go with my bangers and mash for lunch today. Rain and overcast over the lake where we ate today. Now I have moved on to some green rum punch tonight. Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone.

I don’t think it has been mentioned here, but how do the reservations for the main dining room work? We typically like set, fixed dining at a share table, so that looks like it would be deck 6. It is too early for us to book dining, so I was just curious how this worked. Can you specify deck, time and table size on the app? Our last Princess sailing was just before they introduced medallions.

Safe travels home. That week flew by. Thanks for taking us along.

Happy birthday to your granddaughter!🎉🎉🎂🎂

@dani negreanu Dani, let me add my Happy Birthday wishes to you! 🎉🎉🎂🎂

Yesterday, we enjoyed St. Patrick’s Day buffet lunch at our favorite deli. Ruben sandwich, fish and chips, Shepherd’s Pie, and corned beef and cabbage. The corned beef and cabbage was the most tender I ever had. Ended up going back more than once for it. They also had some delicious desserts, but I barely had room for the Apple crumble. They had this early, since they aren’t open on Sunday.

That is just wrong! It looks like there is a large “splash zone” with that method too. Droplets out on the plate and tablecloth, and who knows how much more.

Yeah, but I like that holder and glasses. I could see that sitting on my bar at home.

Now, this looks interesting. From one of the LIVEs I am following on the Princess boards. Wonder if I will be able to order them individually, and have it covered under my package?

She couldn’t be a serious girlfriend, unless she got an official Daryl’s Crew shirt. Seven of these just came today. Back Front Yeah, all these years of cruising, and we will be one of “those” families with matching shirts. 🤣🤣

Love that little dinner show at Le Petit Chef.

When I first glanced at this, I thought someone put a Mrs Butterworth bottle on the shelf. 😏

If I understand what you have done, is you took your pictures of their cruise compass all on the same date (say March 10), and you want to have them ordered with the photos taken on their actual dates (say March 2, March 3, etc.) What you may want to try, is to change the date on the pictures of their cruise compass, to match the date of the pictures you want them to display with. I use Apple products, but one of these methods may work with your Galaxy. On my iPhone, if I swipe upon the photo, it gives a basic list of metadata. On mine, it gives me an option there to adjust the date and time of the photo. If you have that option available on Galaxy, adjust the date of the cruise compass photo to the date of the photos you want it ordered with. Then, when you sort on date taken, or date modified (depending on how it works on your Galaxy) they should be in order. If your photos app doesn’t give you the option to modify the dates, you could look at an app like EXIF viewer. It will let you modify dates, as well as many other attributes in photos. Hope one of these works for you.
