Stop stressing....just show up before the ship sails and all will be goid.

We had a 22-1 massage today and it was empty. I don't know where everyone is SLspending their OBC. I had pedicure, massage and DH  a massage. Still have $$ oops make that Euros left.

We boarded 12/13 with no documents. No problem whatsoever. Don't worry so much. 

Was told by Hake today only residences go to YC area on Ocean Cay. Will see on Friday.

Watch on TV and go down to your muster station to scan card.

Next cruise, 12/22 has 600. The one after that around 500+  It is 10:26 and lobby bar did last call. Ship operations definitely needs some tweaking. Ran out of lamb chops last night.and we have 4 nights to go. 

That's what we heard. Would like to hear actual experiences. 

It is very nice. Our question is how are they handling all of the EJ passengers at the small YC area?

No matter what questions I ask I get the wrong answers! Lol

I’m on board, day 14 for me. Ask away, I may not have all the answers though!

Is there a store that sells perfumes. We have OBC to spend.

I am joining Explora 1 on December 13th, and hope to write a blog of the trip, www.whereissafarigal.com.

 

Cunard is my favorite line, so this will be quite a change I imagine. However I am really looking forward to the cruise, and the Veuve Clicquot in our suite on arrival instead of the Cunard dreaded half bottle of Pol Acker in the fridge.

Hope to see you on board. This cruise will be a different experience.

When we were on we couldn’t use obc in the casino 

Sad face here.....

I have concerns over the Veuve. My son signed up for the Plus package because of having the ability to order this champagne. Are you sure it is not on the Plus package? I will check with him where he found that it is.

TYIA

Speaking of OBC, can it be used for gambling? Getting chips at the table using your room key and charging it to the room, thereby reducing your room credit?

Thank you. Hope this would be a place to use OBC in.

Can you advise if there is a liquor store onboard to purchase to bring bottles home?

TIA. Glad to hear all is going well.

While waiting with our butler for the maintenance crew to return with more caulking to finish around the tub we enquired about Mr. Balla. Appears both he and Mr. Sherif are now corporate heads in Switzerland. 

Glad to see you are back. Not happy to hear this news. Enjoyed knowing the staff when we sailed. Mr. Balla wanted to be a HD. As corporate heads hopefully they will have some input into the American cruisers likes when ships are in the Caribbean. Keep those interlopers out!

Would love to hear an update on how things are going. Happy Thanksgiving.

I am sure if someone does not like sauce, you can ask for it on the side. I will soon find out!

Would you be kind enough to see if they have alcohol free wines? Prefer red and sparkling.

Thank you.

Any numbers available for the December 13th RT Miami cruise?

Boarded Mariner on Friday.  There's a new-design tote bag.  So far I think I like it.

Are you staying on to Miami?

19001 for everyone else who is of the opinion it is easier to post the answer to a question directly rather than a post number that leads to the answer to the question.

thank you anyway @Essiesmom

Thank you @surfrider34 my feelings exactly.

Lol.  I enjoyed OP’s creativity in expressing the presence of WEED (skunk) emoji in  their YC Cabin and just assumed it was penned under the influence of second-hand WEED (skunk) emoji.  Or it could have been that good nights rest and calm.  I appreciate the post and glad they reported it.  
 

As a side note, for those of you who haven’t been to NYC lately…WEED (skunk) emoji is everywhere.  At the 7-11 store next to our hotel, I found myself in the middle of a drug deal as I got our morning coffee.  The dealer had a jar of buds and was trading right there, plain sight of everyone.  Not so funny…right outside there is a mobile NYC police precinct.  🤷‍♀️

Which hotel did you stay in?

So true, that is how MSC got their start. Hauling containers around the world on their cargo ships. Unfortunately for us, those containers never complain and do not care where they are put on the ship!

And they are making a lot of money doing that. 

Love your comment. 🥂🍾
