Fair winds and following seas. 🙂

I work with a wonderful TA. I let her know how much I’m willing to spend if an upgrade offer comes in. She knows me so if an offer comes in at or below my price, she will grab it and choose my cabin. If the offer is higher, she will contact me.

I would LOVE to have a bento box at lunch. 😏

Rabbit 🐰 rabbit 🐰 white rabbit🐇 Raining here, I think they call it the “Pineapple Exoress.” Working from home but have an appointment (yearly) with my PCP this afternoon.

Bon Voyage! 🙂

Love the alternate maps. 👍😍

Yippee! It’s finally updated. 🙂

Anything that is prepaid shows up as a credit. This is my statement from the NS last month (on the TV). I had prepaid the crew incentive and bought the Thermal Suite for the week. Note that crew appreciation is charged every day and the Thermal Suite was charged the first time we checked in.

I’m “allergic” to adhesive tape… but not always. 🤷🏻‍♀️ So just in case I’m given paper tape. Most of the time that works but not when it was used for on my face last year after my eye surgery. I thought I was going to peel off my skin! 😳 Welcome to the world Ryan Charles! Congrats to the parents!

Bon Voyage! 🙂

Bon Voyage! 🙂

Fair winds and following seas. 🙂

Check in time is assigned ~two weeks prior to sailing BUT it could (and does) change (3x for me) so keep checking even once you get a bar code.

Dinner looks wonderful. 😋

You can’t park a scooter in the hallway. It’s a safety hazard. My mother is in a wheelchair. If there was a scooter parked in the hall, she would not be able to get by. You better believe I would be contacting the Safety Officer.

Bruno @atexsix prayers 🙏 for your dad and for you. If your dad was in the service, the VA has a respite program for the caregiver. It took a while to convince my mom to use it (she took care of my dad), but she finally did and it was good for her.

Our sailing was the first after the NS returned from Europe so they were anticipating Coast Guard inspections, health inspections, crew immigration, etc.

I had Club Orange and my boarding pass said “priority” (or maybe because I’m 4*?). Here’s my boarding pass from last month: Port Everglades Terminal 26:

Bon Voyage! 🙂

Prayers lifted up for Steve. 🙏

If I have enough dining credits, I will go to the Q Smokehouse. 😋 I get the deviled eggs for an appetizer, and the Pitmaster Platter for my main course. For dessert I have a hard time choosing between banana pudding and peach cobbler. Of course I have the Smokey Peach margarita (or 2! 😁).

This morning I babysat for a bit while the youngest went to her appt. Then I had a nice lunch (sushi! 🍣) with my GF. We hadn’t seen each other in a while so it was great to catch up. Took a nap when I got home. Thank you all for caring and sharing. Prayers 🙏 for everyone who needs them. Cheers 🎉 for all the celebrations. Amen.
