Ocean Boy

Sitting by the pool at the yacht club drinking a cosmo, reading Cruise Critic, and listening to Judy Collins/Jonas Fjeld album Winter Stories on Spotify. Saw them together on PBS once. I think the music is pretty cool. Hard to believe Judy is in her 80's now. Back in my college days I listened to her a lot and also played and sang a lot of her songs. Thought she was so pretty back then. She just wasn't as bewitching as Stevie though.😊 Nice evening to start the weekend.

I like the name. Hopefully the food did not disappoint.

What other reason would you expect RCI to give for raising prices?

Demand for the sailing is what determines cruise fare. Every revenue center is priced to what the cruise line believes will maximize profit.

It's getting a whistle blown at you that really piles on the points.

I know all about JB cancelling flights.🙄

My past two cruises the roll call threads were pretty much dead compared to years ago.

Voyager?

It is quite fortunate that you tested negative or there would have been a bunch of depressed people on this thread. We are all planning on cruising next week.

Entertainment has never been one of Adventure's strong suits.

My major thing to pack is TUMS. Getting reflux from eating too close to bedtime is horrible. I didn't know drug reps even existed any longer. It seems the only people our politicians approve of getting anything for free is them.🙄

Whoa, some how it was lost on me that THIS is where you are living. Congrats!

I think you hit on a very good point. I can remember as a kid not being in a great mood and declining some activity with friends. They simply didn't give me a choice and would just say you're coming or we won't have a very good time. In the end I was almost always glad I caved and went.

It's a lot of stuff!

No testing needed to enter Canada?

For real?

Maybe she feels that going on the cruise would be like moving forward without her husband? However, she needs to come to terms with the fact that it is exactly what she will eventually have to do. I hope she is not just using the kids as a reason for why she doesn't want to go.

Jan 7 is a bit too close to after all the Christmas and New Years stuff and time out of the office. I don't think this week will work for me.

I said no offense ment. However, you folks are a bit behind on covid protocols. And I think most people here know how much I love our northern neighbors.

No offense to amyone here but MAYBE it is time for Canada to join the first world countries?

That is unfortunate. Sometimes a diversion, like a cruise, could be good to to get their minds temporarily off of the loss. However, she knows her family best.

I hope it's permanent.

Hopefully the symptoms remain mild.

Sometimes I start to feel sympathy for him due to his family losses but then his mouth just makes me think he is an arrogant a$$.
