Ocean Boy

Have a great cruise. Post whenever it fits or plans. Even sporadic info and thoughts on this ship are fun to read.

None of us can comprehend the grand plan. Hopefully, someday it will all make sense. This is a tough world to navigate if one does not have faith in God. It is a tough world to navigate even with faith. I truly believe that some day the incomprehensible will all make sense. Until then we all have to walk the path that was designed for each of us. I think about you and your family often... That's all I've got right now.😐

I can't believe this is already ending.

How are the kids and she doing?

I'm glad your head isn't giving you issues.

The blocks won't rot your teeth like the chocolates.😁 BTW, I've not seen a colored block in person but at this point I agree that I much prefer the old style clear crystal blocks.

So the cruise lines will have to keep building muti billion dollar cruise ships with shorter life spans in order to keep the fleet fresh. All the while further limiting the number of ports that can accommodate their behemoth size. RCI will continually have to also be upgrading their private islands. How many times will this new generation want to go to Labadee or Coco Cay before staleness sets in? I may be well off the mark but this sounds like a recipe for disaster.... except maybe for the foreign ship yards.

Yes, at least she is smart enough to not play his game.

Kraken was just the answer to a Jeopardy question. And ABBA is a category! And Mamma Mia was just an ABBA answer!🙂

If what you are saying about the "next generation" is true then the cruise lines have big problems on the horizon. Ships don't change much over their life span and the Caribbean islands most certainly don't. How many cruises will they do on Icon before it becomes "stale" as you say. How many times will they go to the Caribbean before the islands also suffer the same fate? RCI should court those of us who will sail the same ships to the same islands over and over again and never feel like it is stale. I can't wait for my next Windjammer meal as I sail to the same islands that I have been to multiple times. And I'm happy to do it not on Icon with all the money RCI spent on it.

Nice theory Jimbo but apparently an upgrade to the captain's quarters didn't happen.😉

@Sea Dog Happy Birthday Sea Dog. I'll raise a Kraken to you tonight!🍸

Wow, I don't think we have ever made a pass that close even with a zoomed in lense.

Congratulations on your anniversary.😊 I wonder which couple is actually celebrating today in a plain, austere cabin with no decorations.🙃

What would you like to bet on? I said if you meet the number requirement while on a cruise you CAN GET the block while on that cruise meaning you qualify. I did not say you WILL GET the block. Which part of my post are you challenging me on?

Thanks. I thought maybe it was something in the soil but perhaps it is just genetics. I never heard of pink bananas and pineapples before.

Do you know why the bananas are pink?

The place looks creepy to me.

I was quite happy with the outcome too. I wonder who Maria will try to team up with now? This is certainly the season of blindsides.

Another idol in the pocket goes home.

I think tribal tonight will be interesting.

I'm so sorry for your loss.😌

Very fortunate for you!

Looking forward to my first visit there this coming winter.

No different that how some people, after a cruise, consider their cabin steward to now be their BFF for life. Cruisers simply look at the world differently.🤷‍♂️
