We have done it both ways. No benefit unless you have OBC that will cover it. Some just want to pay for it ahead of time so they owe nothing for the cruise later.

Sorry to hear this. 😔 I hope it doesn't get too bad. Thanks for being willing to keep us updated. I pray it goes well for you in Sydney. Stay safe.

We had a great time together though Finnley slept through most of it. I agree with the quote. All about enjoying time together. We were pretty full again. On top of all the Thanksgiving food, my DD made some great chocolate chip cookies and left us a bunch. Just a little while ago, even though we were full we both started thinking about the cookies. We had to go with one of Sharon's quotes we usually only use when on a cruise..... You don't have to be hungry 😋 to eat! I hope and others enjoyed the day!

Survivor watchers, what did you think of how well Noelle did in the challenge. A no quit fighter.

When our daughters married we let them know that we didn't have to get together on the exact holiday day. If it is big to in-laws, we can meet on another day. One less thing for them to stress about. This is why we had our family Thanksgiving last weekend. Our 2 oldest are celebrating Thanksgiving with the in-laws. Our youngest asked if we could do a 2nd Thanksgiving with them today so Finnley can have here 1st celebration of Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving. So we are having our favorite brisket and homemade rolls! I hope all here have a great day if you celebrate Thanksgiving or not. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

I hope you have a safe trip to Florida. Your post reminded me of when we moved here. We had moved a few times before. Seemed like each move stuff in the attic grew. Our last move we decided to thin the attic. A bunch of folks from church helped us make the move. Almost every time we pulled something from the attic we asked, anyone want this? 😆 It helped at the time but after 23 years of being here the attic is full again. Hope y'all enjoy those delicious Thanksgiving hamburgers!

Thanks for the link and review. That helps a lot. Looks like a nice excursion. BTW, I was thinking of you this weekend. The Razorbacks played in the Maui Invitational this weekend. They occasionally flashed up nice Hawaii pics. @brillohead Maya Chan looks like a great choice too. That is where we were probably going before the Ruins were brought up. It will probably be a few days until the final decision is made. Thanks to all for the help. Just another reason to be thankful for all who post here!

What helped get the numbers down. I will do my blood test a week before the next cruise. I hope you can stay away from statins.

We are doing Nachi Cocom in Cozumel. We were looking at Maya Chan Beach in Costa Maya which looks real good but our cruise friends mentioned checking out the Ruins so we are doing our research.

Has anyone done the Mayan Ruins? If so, how was the experience?

This sounds like a land UDP! I bet this will be a great time. Enjoy.

I hope you have a safe and fun cruise. I would love to see some pics! Walking on board is a great feeling!

Why are you cutting back so much on your dinner. 😆 looks like you are having a great time. Enjoy

I want to try Celebrity but I need to get familiar with the ships. I finally got my RC status transferred to Celebrity. Maybe if I check out the Celebrity forum I can get a better understanding of it. Have fun. Looking forward to hearing how you liked it and seeing pics.

Growing up I remember having Oyster stuffing. Our family doesn't even like the thought of it.

How was the fish. It looks good. Last year I had a bad experience with it in the MDR. I couldn't understand the waiter was saying they didn't have their regular fish and they were substituting it with another. I love eating good fish and making a taco out of it would be nice. Allure now has El Loco Fresh. I might try that trick.

The sous vide method just made it too good. My oldest DD and I are the two that love turkey. My youngest DD and Sharon can do without it but once everyone tasted it.... gone. I usually have enough to make sandwiches with some of the leftover rolls. Soooo good. I need to just make me another one.

You can't cook everything. Kitchens have limits. Just ask the chefs on Symphony. 😆

I have been banned from climbing up ladders past a few feet. I still sneak a small one into the garden.

Happy for you. Thankful all worked out for you.

Coco Cay. I like them both. More choices at Coco Cay. You can enjoy the slides and the pools or you can find less crowded beach areas if you are willing to walk.

With 7 grandchildren it is getting louder each get together but hey, I can handle that and they have so much fun together. The SIL's got together and cleaned up after the meal too. 😃

Congrats. I too am surprised how early they informed you that you got the room. It's nice you have had 3 now. We were upgraded twice last year but nothing this year. Our last cruise showed no suites available at least a month out and our next January shows only 2 jr suites as of today. Those GS's sure can spoil you. Enjoy your cruise.

We had our family get together to celebrate Thanksgiving last weekend. I sous vide the turkey and it came out great. This year there was only 1 1/2 pieces left to make a sandwich with the next day. We also had some great ham. Sharon always makes rolls from a recipe pasted down from her grandmother. And we always have green bean casserole and a sweet potato casserole with pecans (no pic) that was so good it was like eating dessert. We also had pumpkin pie, Kentucky Derby pie, deviled eggs and other stuff I can't remember..... oh stuffing.... I ate more than I did at any specialty restaurants with the UDP. 😆 I added more after the pic. I guess we had peas and mash potatoes too. As good as the meal was, getting the family together was even more enjoyable.

I agree. Love the pics and would be happy to see more @sea2shiningsea.
