Thank you and very appreciated!

I suspect those of us here who have access to the NFCU are probably in the minority. I do really like it though. And I especially like their credit card with no foreign transaction fees.

Was the lighthouse open to go inside?

Yeah, $50 is kind of laughable considering what cruises are priced at these days.

I wonder if they will switch the locks and pay systems over to RFID from magnetic swipe systems. It sure makes it easier to get into your cabin when your hands are full.

A lesson best learned sooner than later.😑 Sorry.

However, in spite of the "family vibe" the ships are still loaded with bars and lounges. The Champagne Bar was rather unique in that it was a quiet atmosphere where it was comfortable to have a conversation. Most of the other lounges have entertainment and it is difficult to talk and hear over the sound level in the venues. I will miss it.

Thanks! Maybe I should treat myself to a pedicure.🫨🫨😇

Thank you. What a great wish for the year!

Thank you!

Tanta Grazie, amico!

Thank you so much! With everything you have to deal with remembering my BD should be close to the bottom of your list.😐

The CT scan must be very interesting.

What did they say got injured that needs repairing?

Must have sold a lot of drink packages on that crossing.

Three times too many.

Maybe they can sell the Bionic Bar to a 2nd or 3 tier cruise line to get rid of it.

Ok, sorry if I implied in any way that this was news.🙄 Yes, it has been talked about but this was the first I have seen that it is now scheduled to happen.

Great price and plenty of chances to see Mamma Mia on a 13 nighter.

In today's newsletter from RCI it states that Allure is finally going to be amped and before it heads to the Med next summer. Very unfortunate for those of us who like the ship the way it is. I guess we can say goodbye to its great DL (Crown Lounge) soon and here comes the slides.

We've never had trouble getting extra room keys. I don't know if they would be tighter with CLS keys or not.

Don't just switch keys. I don't know if they will all be linked to the same credit card or not. However, even if they are you don't want a seapass that identifies you as a 19 yo as you will not be able to buy an alcoholic drink with it and you will not get on and off at ports of call with it as your picture won't match. Go to guest services and ask for extra room key for each cabin. Then live in which ever cabin you want to.

I think RCI has better benefits for me also. Celebrity's Zenith level looks good but I don't see where Elite Plus gets me much that I would value. Diamond Plus is a better fit for me.

Texas has been taking a beating it seems. I hope you all remain safe.

Beautiful. @aussielozzie18
