  1. I agree though usually I prefer mysteries. Especially on a cruise I choose very light weight reading. I'm chatting and looking at the ocean not wanting to read something hard core with lots of characters to keep up with. Well I feel like I'm getting a look at how the other half live. There are 3 extended stays in this area, only 1 listed as premier suites. I asked last night what that means. I was talking to a father living here with his 6 year old son for the last 5 1/2 years! I am so surprised how many people live here all the time. He works too, not homeless. He says a apt would be around $2400 plus utilities and here runs about the same except it has a work out room, a upgraded laundry and their kinda lame breakfast which seems lamer by the day. And if he moved into a apt then he has to pay utilities. A couple of guys yesterday who been here a year are heading back to texas. This is like condo living for those who cant afford this area. I do feel secure and the police drive thru regularly. Still no word on when my movers will arrive. Last week they said if no word by june 6 then reach out to them again. I just emailed them again. I dont even know my stuff is ok and didnt get wet in the storm. About $3500 just the brokerage fee and they cant even locate my stuff and tell me it survived the storm? Nothing? Google said 9.9 stars out of 10. I've rate them about a 2 so far. I did get a text from my next door neighbor who is watching the house asking if she should call my bil. About the badly smashed fence. I said my buyer called sunday and told me about it, it's a tree from the next door new neighbor on the other side whose tree fell and badly smashed the fence between us. I got 3 people plus the buyer watching the house. Closing still set for june 15, I sure would be happy if it were sooner. For some reason from what I hear this area in particular was hit worse than others. Maybe because it's a older area and the trees are older and taller, idk. Sitting here in florida it's hard to know how bad my area was hit. I know bonnie is up a few suburbs north of where my house sits and idk where george is exactly. Sometimes no news isnt good news when you are waiting to hear when your stuff will arrive and is it ok, did it get wet. Was it actually a tornado that went thru my area. Yesterday I priced out a nice sofa and loveseat. I want them to pick up what I shipped so I dont want to order living room furniture yet. The beds will be delivered tomorrow. Without a table it's going to be hard to see the tv sitting on the floor, the tvs are small. My old house was tiny. Its lucky I decided to bring the tvs with me. They said I had to have the tvs in boxes. One tv is so new I have the box but I'd have to screw off the legs, so it was just easier to stick them in my car. That's all the furniture I brought in my car. At least tomorrow I'll have a bed to sleep on. I went by to look at the living room stuff the sales guy picked out for me and laid on the bed again I picked out and still love it. I asked why the headboard and frame I picked out was so much extra over others he would include without extra cost. The mgr said look here, this wood is all one piece. Its solid wood. I still dont think its cherry. Cherry has reddish overtones, this looks more like mahogany to me, like what I already have. I still like it but doesnt look like cherry to me. ARGGGH I'm so tired of waiting and no information from the movers. 9.9 out of 10 ratings my foot!
  2. I rarely check prices, but last night I checked on a couple cheapies, explorer 5 days out of PC which I admit is royal, price is now down to about what I paid 6 months ago, about $650 total solo. Plus they are now throw in some extra obc to entice you to book. I'm still in the middle of moving. Sitting at a hotel now for 10 days and no word on when the moving truck will arrive. I can tell you who NOT to book with. I actually was so stressed out I didnt board my 7 day mariner cruise and was a no show. Everything costs more these days. I moved some antiques I've held onto for 50 years, this and that kind of thing, 50 boxes of quilts plus my mom made and 1 bedroom of furniture. I wish I hadnt bothered to ship my sofa and chair, it would have been cheaper to replace and buy new. They estimated under $7500. Movers got there and said now the price is over $9k if you want your bed and dresser stuff on the truck. I could have replaced all my old furniture for less than the cost to ship. I've promised myself I'll never move again. Bought some chicken tenders in the deli section. 8.99 a lb. Everything costs a lot more than it used to, it's not just cruises. A pre made salad in the publix deli 8.99. Plus or minus. Having crossed the country and buying stuff on the road, everything costs more. I can still find some solo shorter bargains, on older ships. Used to be able to find carnival last minute for like starting 399 pp. Under 1k off season. Now there doesnt seem to be a off season. I'm about to check carnival prices for fun, but until the moving truck arrives or I at least have some word when to expect it, my enthusiasm for cruising is at a all time low. Not cruising fault. Next time I'll throw away my furniture and just ship knick knacks and save some money. It's been 10 days and they cant tell me anything but the moving company will text 24 to 48 hours ahead. I could write a book about now on price inflation.
  3. True but imo they also should let you know they changed the cabin you picked. It didnt occur to me to check the cabin number on my boarding pass. Some love those 4Js at the front where you supposedly can go out the side doors out onto the area in front of your cabin. Maybe because it was too windy but they kept those doors locked my entire cruise. And the sf was much smaller than what I'd booked. If carnival changes my cabin send me a email. Leave me a phone message, or give me a slip when I board. The door was propped open so i walked in and unpacked. All im sayijg is sure they have the right to change anyones picked booked cabin, but i also think that i should have the right to be notified when I board. That's ok, we can disagree. That's why I quit using that pvp. She agreed with you, I have no rights to be notified the cabin I picked was changed. If it was a gty fine, but that was a cabin I paid to pick far in advance. I knew it was close to 220 sf and the cabin I got seemed like about 150 sf or smaller, couldn't even put beds side by side it was extra small. My pvp position was carnival might have seen previously I'd asked for a shower chair, I'd travelled with a hc sister. So they might have thought they did me a favor giving me a tiny hc cabin that half had a bathroom with a roll in shower for a wheelchair. The fact my pvp had zero sympathy for me not being notified and only kept repeating same as you carnival has the right to change your room without notice. No sympathy. So I got rid of her. I want a agent who can at least see my side, which I see you dont either.
  4. I can now make a pretty tight fist, almost normal. No word yet from the movers. It's the waiting that drives you crazy. I really am surprised a moving company has no idea when the moving company will be leaving from dallas. The fee upfront is just a brokerage fee to hand you over to the movers. It's nice out to sit in the evenings here. I'm still at the extended stay premier suites. Some people love here full time so it's like a community staying here where they already know each other. Some say they cant find affordable rentals, first last and a months rent, cheaper to stay here, they dont have 3 months rent saved up, or mold re mediation, their insurance is paying for them to live here. Another says in her wheelchair it's hard to find a place where she can just wheel into the shower. I've got a stupid question. Every hotel survey asks me for a eco rating. I must be stupid but how would I know if a hotel is eco friendly. What am I looking for at a hotel that woukd make it eco friendly. I just check the box and say sure, but I really have no idea if a hotel behind the scenes is eco friendly. Are they asking about how the hotel does laundry? What would make a hotel eco friendly? A certain kind of furniture. I really dont understand the question. The kind of little tube of shampoo they give me in the shower? Wouldnt that be a demerit, plastic is bad? That little boutique hotel I stayed at in Tallahassee I said wow the donuts were so good. I saw the same kind of mini donuts in publix. They are Krispy creme donuts. No wonder they tasted so good and I'm sure a million calories. Enjoy those grandchildren while they are young. Life is too short.
  5. Before covid muster you had to meet witha bunch of others. Now it's mostly on the app. You have to click to listen to the 7 loud horn blasts in case of emergency, maybe dont do this while sitting in your hotel lobby lol. Also another little short movie about how to fasten your life best. Then when you go by your muster station, just check in and they check off your name. As soon as I board, i go to settings, and connect to royal Caribbean onboard so all the activities show. Some stuff doesnt show until you do this. Also I didnt change to airplane mode and a gazillion of data I had saved up on my tracfone disapeared. My fault. App quit working on my tablet so now I have to use my cell phone. Still learning. Now wifi is from musk's starlink. The older ships arent much better but a ship like wonder now has something like a router in each cabin. You can stream wirelessly on wonder if you know how to stream. The older ships still need a hdmi cable. A lot of the changes are better.
  6. The latest ingot assigned was at the port. At the port inside where the porters work out of the ain guy has a list of everyone and their cabin number. I had to go to him once before I was allowed to check in and he has the final list. He gave me my cabin number and then I could take it back to check in and was allowed to check in. I did book the cruise late though. During covid they sometimes were blocking off corridors for covid. I had booked a 1A with the two port holders, which I like because it's a larger than usual cabin for the money. I got a slip of paper at the port and changed to a deluxe ov which was a oce upgrade. Another time I booked my favorite port hole larger cabin and went in and unpacked and noticed a paper addressed to someone else. I had already unpacked. That was hard to explain why I unpacked in a cabin not mine. With no notice whatsoever I was changed toma tiny HC 4J. Much smaller, so small the beds had to be end to end and a wheel in shower that took up a lot of the cabin. At night the black out curtains had to be closed for navigation. I think they should have notified me if they changed my cabin. This was before covid. I used to like my PVP but she continued to say carnival has the right to change your cabin without notifying you. She has 0 sympathy that I unpacked in the cabin I booked and then had to explain to get access to get my stuff repackaged. After that I rarely booked with her. Ii also now use a TA. I want someone on my side. I've had some good and some bad gty. Good imgot pool deck, my favorite. Bad, below the kitchen, not the dining room the actual kitchen. Noisy. On the older ships the bunks came out of the wall and had wooden braces. Now they come out of the ceiling. Once solo ingot one of these quads with the wooden braces. Was hard to read in bed. Carnival seems to love to surprise me and give me just any cabin they happen to have.
  7. I have cruised on carnival quite a few times with a special needs sister. Once we almost got separated after the theater. We were waiting in a crowd and a elevator came the opposite direction and she just followed people onto the elevator. I feel so lucky I saw it just in time to rech in and grab her and pull her out. One thing we finally started doing was I could lewve her sitting in the buffet and tell her not to leave. When I would go back to the buffet she always seemed to draw a crowd of helpful older ladies who would sit and talk to her and get her food and this worked out best for us. I tried to teach her even and odd numbers and descending and ascending so she might learn how to find our cabin but my om said I was being mean to her and made me stop. I was just scared. I'd told her if we got separated to ask someone to take her to guest services, but I'm not sure she could remember to do this. Sometimes you just have to depend on the kindness of other pax. Not all disabilities are 100% obvious to the naked eye. I think it would be awesome if cruiselines camemup with some mind of tracking device or way to cruise with pax who dont have the same IQ as people assume. They might look normal but maybe arent. Royal closes the buffet between meals. Carnival doesnt which was a big plus for me. There is a reason I made diamond on carnival and took so many carnival cruises.
  8. For reasons idk I too have seen some better princess prices for solo ot of Galveston. Also MSC currently seems to have the cheapest prices. . Though as you said it may not be going out of your port ... yet but they seem to be expanding. First I heard they are building a 4th ter final in Galveston and now I'm reading they will be building a new terminal in port Canaveral so they are for sure expanding. Royal has more new ships coming which expands their capacity. Icon just barely started and utopia will be new and coming to do short cruises out of PC. With so much more capacity coming online eventually how can prices not eventually start to come down. Also you need to look at how each line prices what you want to book. For me carnival is often more expensive than royal. For a while royal was always cheaper than carnival because unlike csrnivalmtheir loyalty rewards make a huge difference. Group rates on carnival are nothing special but on royal I have gotten some totally awesome deals for group rates. You cant see royals group rates but even a solo cabin I can get group rates thru my TA. So between group rates, then I get $250 off as a diamond +, then as a solo I get 25% off the total cruisefare. At 340 pts it says 50% off the 2nd pax, but it's the same as 25% off the total cruise fare. I love carnival and their journey cruises are awesome, just same as you unless you gamble carnival is often higher priced than other lines. That's my issue. Only royal gives me as a solo a discount and 2 loyalty pts per night so it's faster to get higher in their tier. Blerk always says carnival doesnt have to buy peoples loyalty, some people dont care about peice and will book the same line. I look at price. I'd rather do more cruises on the same $$$ amount. I'm with you carnival lately has cost more than some like msc or princess. I'd like to try HAL but dont want to drive. My friends say HAL has really good food. I'm more into food than trivia. Each line is playing different pricing games since covid imo. People are saying they can book celebrity for less than royal, group rates, for 2 pax, not as a solo.
  9. Idk about all but rcl changed many connecting room to a different category. Before covid for instance all the insides looking into the promenade were PR category. Now they are listed as 2 different categories. I had booked one not connecting as a PR during covid and the ben and Jerry's sweet came available and I couldnt just change to it because it was now a different category as a connecting PR category and I'd have had to pay the new higher rate. When I booked both connecting and non connecting were the same category. Like other categories, I booked a corner aft as a regular balcony, now they have some ew name like sunset veranda. @Ourusualbeachcan probably tell you which categories to look for that connect or dont on the ones that changed .. or as someone said the deck plans show too.
  10. I'm so sorry to hear this. My cousin went thru this and had his removed.,he said it took a year to recover so he could go normally. I was just with a friend a few weeks ago and I didnt hear until I was leaving he is a 100% disabled vet from agent orange and not having the cancer removed or chemo. Idk why his decision, it was mentioned just as i was leaving. When i get settled from moving im calling but this isnt going to be a easy solution. I feel so bad from hearing how hard recovery was for my cousin. I'm more worried about your cousin than you losing your free play, taxes and fees are refunded.i wish your husband the best and a good solution. I can only imagine how worried you are.
  11. Huge co congratulations to your grandson. He must not only be s art but a hard worker. Feel proud, you deserve it.
  12. Oh no that sounds terrible. My first house in the dallas area had poison ivy. I hope you can get rid of it in your yard. Not just on you. I wouldnt want you to get it again. I'm up awake thinking of all that kind of stuff ahead of me, finding a doctor for instance. I see a area above one of my eyes where I had cataract surgery and the skin turned bleached out looking idk if I should worry about, and finding a dentist, and the post office. Made it this far, now tonight having a bit of a panic attack realizing my furniture I spent so much to pack doesnt fit the condo at all. I hope it goes away on you and that you can get rid of it so you dont get it again! It is lucky you could get in right away and see a skin doctor. I hope tomorrow when you wake up you are less swollen.
  13. Yea I think this is a good point. Also the reason earnings 1st qtr this year were up 40% was compared to covid prices a year previous. Prices are no longer going up up up. I've seen plenty of posts on roll calls to check your price, prices have dropped. The only reason for 40% yoy was compared to covid prices. Those days are gone. Maybe star and wonder still going to be high, but too many posts of price drops on harmony and older ships. CNBC had some news on ccl today but I couldnt catch what they were saying. Too many routes to coco cay if you ask me. This last drop none to Bermuda? Have to do celebrity. People are commenting on deals to the new adult beach close in. Almost giving it away. Compared to covid prices of course earnings are up a large percentage. Now that's gone. Or almost, when you compare to prices a year ago. I'd like to buy more shares, but not at 155. There was also some insider selling at 140, tells you it's getting toppy. And the consumer is showing signs of getting tapped out., the only thing running is nvda because it has the AI chips everyone wants. I'm not saying sell, just cautious, wouldnt buy more this high. I'm a hold, not a buy, not a sell, a hold.
  14. Well I do have pillows and a quilt with me, but he is also including everything. I picked out 2 sets of beige sheets, 2 queen size pillows, 2 mattress covers. Idk what all but a whole pkg. He also sells living room furniture but I dont think I can do a big set in there. One side are those glass windows out to the balcony, opposite side is a wet bar right where a armchair could be. He said he will send his guys to look but a love seat on the other wall couldnt see the tv. His sister works at rooma to go so I went down there just to look at styles. The problem with them is they woukdnt pick up the sofa and matching chair I am having shipped. I did plan on replacing it, but the living room to me because of the sliders on one side and wet bar on the other side, I dont know but need to think about it. He said his guys will measure and maybe have a good idea. Rooms to go will not pick up what I am having shipped so that's a problem. I dont want 2 sofas in there. This guy where I bought the beds said his guys will pick up my old sofa immshippijg and the matching chair. Its comfortable but time to replace with something that looks better. But he is giving me mattress pads, and sheets and big pillows, idk but he had to help me carry it all out to the car. The refund for this hotel doesnt sound worth bothering about so I said let's just do this move on friday. And his guys will look at the living room. I dont see a way to put a 2nd loveseat where it can see rhe tv, though I guess I should get 2 matching pieces for company. The living room shape is hard, between the sliders to the balcony and the stupid wet bar. His guys will measure.
  15. I was on harmony and someone decorated for xmas. Someone changed them to swastikas for last xmas. I'm a bit leery of door magnets. Kids steal them. Someone on my oct roll call wants to organise size a gift exchange and just leave a gift at someones door. I am a no, leaving a gift when you dont even know when they will be around seems like a bad idea. Meet somewhere, not leave them at doors whenever.
  16. Lol that's pretty much exactly what I did. Well one store, and liked what they have. There is only 1 working elevator. The movers will want a big tip and if I was them I wouldnt be happy but it is what itmis. I think the 12th business day is next Wednesday so they should be there no latter than then. I stopped at a mattress store that sells everything. Beds they can deliver today even but I already paid for 3 nights starting tonight. The refund thing requires 24 hours notice so I just said bring it Friday. I bought saucepan, there is no built in microwave but a sauce pan can warm up anything for a couple of days. In fact I bought 2 beds the same mattress. The one for me I got what he says is walnut. My triple dresser is actually mahogany and looks like a close enough match to me. And got a remote for mine that raises the feet and head to watch tv in bed. And bedding and pillows and all that other stuff. Too bad I already paid for 3 more nights, I'd been doing 1 or 2 nights, this time I guess I was depressed how long and booked 3 more nights, so il, just stay until friday and the salesman said he will bring up both beds and set them up. The 2nd bed he said he would throw in a wooden bed frame black or white he had there in stock. I cant wait for my new bed. He has living room furniture but I'm at a loss looking at a bunch of catalogues what to get. Several pieces, how to arrange them, pictures I cant picture what I want, comfortable. I'm excited to have a new bed. I picked nice and soft. I like a soft bed, softer than what rcl has. Idk if I needed the motor or not and the cherry headboard was also extra. Just driving by and saw the sign and pulled in and really liked their beds. Wish I'd thought of it sooner, but sometimes things happen when they should. All my kitchen stuff is on the moving truck, so I bought a sauce pan. I got chicken tenders at publix thenother day, gives me something to warm them up in on the stove and get by a few days if the truck is still delayed. Yipee. I cant wait for new beds. I left a phone message for ray, the guy I'm supposed to tell to pad the elevator. Just my bad luck they started to take apart the elevators just last Wednesday. I just checked back in here same hotel, 3rd check. 2 days, 2 days, now 3 days until friday. I still wouldnt have furniture except the beach chair in the picture above. Bob's bed he wrote about sounded perfect. So I got the whole works. I dont know if i really want a remote controlled bed, but why not. Saw what i liked and said YES. Tbh I'll probably toss out my sofa and chair they moved. I want something that looks classier. That was supposed to be temporary while i was there taking care of my parents, not meant forever. I want this place to look classier. The cherry looks dark to me, very close to the color of my triple dresser. I really think it's too late to get a hotel refund, so I just said being it friday and I'll, leave the hotel that morning.. he said probably between noon and 2 pm. I can eat out a lot too, I wouldnt starve if my kitchen stuff takes a few extra days but by my count by next week Wednesday that's 12 business days. Finally something really good happened. My realtor and Bob above were smart to plan a bed ahead of time. But i wouldn't have known to call a certain person 24 hours ahead to pad the elevator. I cant say I shopped around, just liked what I saw. Finally something really good.
  17. Usually analysts targets do move the price, however the targets are meant to be 12 month targets. Though people hear a higher target and traders pile in. I'm kicking myself, I had 300 shares and sold and only holding 100 shares now. Wish I'd sold something other than rcl. I'm moving and bought a condo. I knew analysts kept raising their targets, and prices were up, but also I dont see the huge price Increases on rcl cruises we were seeing say 6 months ago, earnings were up 40% year over year beginning of this year, that has to slow down even if prices stay this high, growth of earnings year over year will slow by next year imo. It was time to get the move to a port city behind me. Get on with my life. I do admit I trade in and out of rcl, just this time I'm short of cash until my house sells. No sense beating myself up. Should have sold some exxon or chevron, oil instead. Usually I'm right on top of watching rcl trade and how it moves, but I've been on the move now the last week. Glad to hear rcl doing well. Today I'm relaxing and catching up with the market. I still predict earnings growth will slow, though several new ships are coming in which certainly will help with higher earnings, more berths to fill and new ships higher prices. I'm still a rcl bull. I've sure missed all the economic news. I've said since last year those predicting a bunch of rate hikes was all political talk. If the govt spending isnt slowing inflation isnt dropping to 2%. Econ 101 if the govt is printing and spending money, it causes inflation. Now they are hoping for 1 cut, down from 6 predicted late last year. People need to use common sense. I dont see a end to either war we are spending on, hence govt isnt cutting. Then jan and feb ppi and cpi didnt show a drop in inflation and for reasons I dont understand were surprised. If I knew they knew and just hoping and wishing. Go rcl. Glad to see the market again today.
  18. Agree with biker. I heard celebrity used to do that with cabin mates, never heard of it with roya and I've done royal about 20 years. Marry him or her only way if they are adults or have them move in and declare them to be your significant other. They cant say married any more, since not all states allow same sex marriage perhaps, Idk really, but it's never been a thing just because they share your cabin on royal. Pre covid I think maybe you were allowed a guest to such as top tier event, but havent heard that since covid.
  19. I'm a worrier perhaps? Like a lot of these mattress places are online. If they delivered it downstairs idk I could get a full mattress up 8 floors to my place. I keep thinking thru this move I wish right now I was married and have a 2nd set of hands. And then add in the guy who has to pad the one working elevator. What bad luck the day I arrived 1 of the 2 elevators was removed to just a hole in the ground. Wait until the movers find out a large 8 story high rise only has one slow working elevator. No guesses when it will be replaced, but when its replaced, then the one woeking elevator will be replaced so this will go on for a while. I need to find a place that delivers all the way to my bedroom! I sure was stupid and or naive when planning this move. My house sale is currently set for by ju e 15.. my buyer called sunday to tell me the next door neighbors tree fell and smashed the fence between us. I said the contract clearly says AS IS. Your problem, go talk to the next door neighbor yoursel. It's his tree. My broker in dallas just emailed and said the weather is still bad and another storm, which isnt helping get my stuff transferred to a bigger truck and on it's way. I guess I'm naive but truly I am surprised that a moving coordinator cant tell me where the truck with my stuff is. This 24 to 48 hours notice is baloney to me. I've moved across town but never had movers move me across the country. Too late to do it differently. Clearly I'm not smart how I did this move. Should have thrown out a lot of stuff,not paid whatever the price is. When he was figuring the extra cost he kept quoting me things like 60 cents a cubic foot. Not dollars. I kept saying so how much is that extra in dollars... over $1500??!! Omg. He kept wanting to tell me cubic feet and I wanted dollars. Well nothing else I can do except shop lol. Spectrum done, so now I'm free until the truck comes. Shower and then ill google furniture stores. I saw above a suggestion for measuring room sizes. To me they all look huge. I brought a flashlight but not my measuring thing... and I have several.,movers have all that. Cheap to buy another I know. I've seen both a lowes and a home depot between me and publix. I've had huge old historic houses, but these 2 are my first condos. And much newer and huge closets.. im so loving these big closets and so many. Shopping isnt the worst thing to have left to do. Didnt occur to me to pack more clothes. All is good here.
  20. I have seen posts where there seem to be IT issues and it says money is owed. I blame royal IT. Sometimes you might cancel a pay restaurant and then it takes money from your reservation, not your dining. IT is glitchy imo.
  21. I talked to my realtor today whom imo is top notch or I woukdnt have trusted him to help me buy a sight u seen condo. He had a good suggestion, though maybe kinda late to do much good. When we first priced out the move a dedicated truck was $1500 extra. Of course optimistic me assumed the truck would be soon behind me, I didnt know a tornado coming and they couldnt transfer my stuff to a shared truck. And somehow I didnt hear the up to 12 BUSINESS days it might take. You all know what hotels on friday and saturday night cost near cocoa beach. He said I should look around for a bed at least, if not a whole bedroom set. I planned to actually buy 2 more bedroom sets. I see all these commercials for purple and other mattresses. The day I was leaving my bil offered his purple mattress to me free, just as I was leaving. Lol of course. But for up to 3 weeks in a hotel it could have gone a long way toward buying a bedroom set, though I'm still not even sure what kind of mattress I might want. This one is orgwnic or that one etc. I just had no idea I'd still be in a hotel maybe even next week. I could sleep there if I had a bed. I got a quilt and 2 pillows with me in the car I brought. Plus a few throws. Maybe a nice bedroom set $1500 isn't a drop in the bucket. I see commercials in Dallas all the time for Nebraska something or other, dont see any furniture sales on tv here so far. I called slecturm and said ok I'll pay for you to install. That poor guy today spent a hour. He looked in every closet and place he could tho I of o wires. The ain bedroom tv connection is dead. He finally hooked it up wifi. Got my newish samsung in the living room and for unknown reasons put the router in the corner of the 3rd bedroom to have something to connect to that was live. I hadnt planned on looking for new furniture this soon but that money could go a ways I assume toward a new mattress. Maybe beds cost a lot more than I know. Lol seems like everything costs a lot more than I expect. I dont even know what stores, google seems like a good place to start tomorrow and at least look and get a idea. Idk if there is such a thing as tok many ceiling fans, but I'm pretty sure this is a record. Every room has the, 2 on the balcony. My master closet and master both have ceiling fans and right behind the master walk in closet there is like a 10 ft long linen closet and tub and separate show, small area, that even has a ceiling fan. I havent counted them but this seems a lot. Closets and bathrooms idk have separate ceiling fans. But I extended my hotel stay until friday. Just doing a few days at a time. Says refundable but then says I have to cancel by midnight 24 hours in advance. Anyway the spectrummguy said no way this wifi and tv could have been self install if you arent technical so it's good I scheduled someone to come and install. My one little sling chair I bought yesterday, and water looks blue today. Yes this ceiling fan is in a closet with 5 feet behind where the toilet is another tiny ceiling fan. Seems unusual to me but what do I know.. to borrow I guess I'll goggle for stores that sell bedroom for future. I actually also want new larger living room furniture. Time to enjoy more. Just finding a starting pt and find how stuff gets delivered. Someone at the condo wants 24 hr notice to pad the elevator. Dont want to get him mad. Bad start. All my new neighbor's I've really liked so far. I think it's a great choice so far. 2nd picture is ceiling fan in my closet, also my bedroom and right behind the closet a tiny ceiling fan by the toilet area. ..of course the closet is now painted agreeable grey lol.
  22. I saw some football games at night where they do the dive show. If no dive show they were showing sports. I got sick and stayed in my boardwalk cabin a lot ... heard the games play by play. I'd look around might be shown somewhere.
  23. I just paid a ridiculous price at target for a tiny sling chair. At least it folds it. I didnt see a brand, just said sling chair. I sat in it and seems ok, though it's very small. I will look around more later, but I made a appointment for spectrum to come out and install 2 small tvs and wifi at 10 am so I plan to be there by 9 am and obviously am not standing there waiting for a hour. I'm a,ready worried I dont have the right stuff. First she says go ahead and plug them in especially if they are smart tv. The samsung is only a few months old. Then she wants me to get on wifi before its installed to download the app so I can set up a pin number. I have 4 tv outlet places I see, and only 2 small tvs. For $65 set up fee. The guy who comes better be able to figure it out. The wifi here at the hotel isnt secure. He is supposed to call or text me on my cell phone to tell me when he is on the way. I'm currently south and driving up there. I'm assuming all the cords he needs are in the box they delivered friday. I've got my fingers crossed he can set up the tvs and wifi. All I have are the 2 tvs and my tablet I use for wifi. I turned in all my texas spectrum stuff last Monday morning. I want the same service but texas said the equipment cant cross the state line. Tell me I'll survive this and it gets get. Fingers crossed. I didnt have time to shop around much for a chair. Target is sure a overpriced choice to me but its maybe just getting hot and the season for patio furniture. In dallas in the fall it all goes on sale. Probably here season is year round. Something to spend more time looking for later on after I'm moved in. I needed a chair before tomorrow morning. I'll google search for a set I like after im moved in. I keep repeating I'll never move again. Bought a few shirts today too. I only came with 4 tee shirts thinking the truck hot on my heals. I'd pack more for a 7 day cruise than that. My house buyer in dallas called and said the next door neighbors tree fell over from the tornado and severely damaged the fence between us. I said ask him for his insurance, it's his tree. I have 0 trees. Our sales contract reads AS IS. But I've now got a damaged fence. New next door neighbor so far I'm not impressed with. He just moved in a couple months ago and has had two loud parties in his back yard. First one he rented one of those blow up jumping around play houses for kids. Must have a lot of family. I'm extra glad to not live next door to him. I know moving is the right thing for me. I hated that house, it was a money pit. Please please please let the moving truck arrive. And I want to live where I see water and nature and not a big city.
  24. Actually twice I've done izumi sushi side. There is a ala carte, but there is also a set price sit down dinner. The sit down dinner is 39.99, I've done as bogo on both allure and harmony. but for sure there is a sit down "set price". I took a screen shot. The 39.99 I circled is full price for their sit down dinner. 1 small, 2 large and dessert for 39.99. ... and it's been allowed for me on 2 different oasis class ships.
