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! 😁).

On another site (book of faces) this morning: For all those missing Mariner points for cruises taken in December 2023 -- Here's what I received today: "Thank you for your recent correspondence with the Mariner Society.

Bon Voyage! 🙂

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.

Prayers 🙏 for a successful surgery.

On the NS last month the sheet says to allow 48 hours. But usually it was much quicker (once we left the bag as we went to dinner and laundry was returned when we got back from breakfast).

Great days! May have to go to a Korean BBQ for lunch. 🇰🇷🍚🥢 But I don’t think they’ll have Peach Melba. 😉

It’s FriYAY! 😃 Thank you for the HAL fleet report and all the daily information. It’s been cold (for me) here: Highs in the low 60s F, lows in the upper 30s to low 40s F. I’ve been wearing socks all the time for a couple of months now; my feet are always cold. I hope to meet a friend for lunch this weekend. We haven’t been able to get our calendars to agree for a while. And volunteering at church. That’s all I have planned for this long weekend. Prayers 🙏 for the Care List and Cheers 🎉 for the Celebration List. Thank you all for caring and sharing. Stay safe and healthy everyone.

Most of the time my list is on the phone, but if DH is going camping his (long) list is on paper.

Thank you for your service. ❤️🇺🇸
