Very good news Lois. I always make up a big batch of Crystal Light. Try one packet Peach Tea and one packet of Lemonade and 1/3 can of lemonade concentrate…makes a gallon. The concentrate takes away the sugar free aftertaste! Check out a kidney diet. No harsh meats like cured meat or fatty beef. No dark greens like spinach, broccoli or kale etc. check it out.

Haven’t heard the name Junket since the 1950’s…lol.

Fingers crossed prayers said. Keep us posted.

I’ve always been an “either or”…cream cheese and grape jelly or crunchy peanut butter and strawberry jelly.

Hi Lois, I just saw this! I’ve been out two weeks with Covid…no problem. I hope all is well with you now. Give me an update.

Just Google it! Coconut shrimp is easy to make…

Hang in there Lois and try to get your doctor to level with you about your creatine loss rate in terms of weeks and months. Again I emphasize taking a close look at a kidney diet. Please keep us posted.

An ice cream soda is the same thing as an egg cream except without the ice cream.

Exactly my point!😄

You mean you never had a chocolate ice cream soda???

Hi Lois…Happy Thanksgiving to you too! I followed your recent transatlantic on Nova! You might want to look at a kidney diet to protect your kidneys. There are a number of things you can do to keep your kidneys healthy. Talk to your nephrologist about the rate of creatine loss. They compare it from year to year. Chances are it will be another 40 years before you have to be worried.😁

We love the sunrises at sea as we are early risers. So a port side balcony would be just the right thing.

Does anyone really order the vanilla?

Hlitner gives a good description of the Chocolate egg cream. Definitely different from your chocolate cream egg? Isn’t your chocolate cream egg the Cadbury egg?

Your planned route looks like a nonstop shot into Miami. You will be in the southern route south of Bermuda. Other than exiting the English Channel and skirting the Bay of Biscay you should have smooth sailing barring any squalls.

The aft balcony for the view. For the balcony: You can always get extra blankets for your lounger and wrap yourself up with a good book.

Where will you be flying to? I’m assuming New York. You should have plenty of flights for the same day as your arrival. Just give yourself enough time to get off the ship and get to the airport. I always feel that extra night at the airport is a waste of time…but that’s just me.

Absolutely maple syrup. It goes so well with fried ham and sausages. My all-time favorite is blueberry pancakes.

Not at all Bruce. I am on dialysis and have to watch my liquid intake and phosphorus. My weekly treat is a chocolate egg cream which also can be a chocolate ice cream soda which is an egg cream with ice cream added.

And welcome to Cruise Critics Jim.

Favorite seafood: Alaskan King Crab, Maine/Canadian lobster baked stuffed, steamed, sautéed, served cold in salad/sandwich/roll, baked haddock, smoked haddock creamed Finan Haddie style, baked stuffed flounder with mornay sauce, Dover sole, shrimp any style, halibut mornay, seafood/lobster Newburg, oysters mornay, fried clams, steamed clams, mussels marinara, broiled or fried scallops and a few others along the way. I love them all. I have to say a real close first place would be The Fisherman’s Platter. This is a fried feast of clams, scallops, shrimp, haddock and French fries with cole slaw and Tartar sauce. You can also get this with the addition of fried lobster tail!

Hapag-Lloyd?

Like every other dish coconut shrimp is very good if prepared properly. It is currently offered as an appetizer at our favorite go-to restaurant. Coconut shrimp was always available every evening onboard RCI in the Concierge Lounge way back when they had a Concierge Lounge.

You might try MSC. They have had good comments on their pasta Bolognese.

BruceMuzz is right. You would have to order it. Trying to put a banana split on a menu would be a problem since it is involved and a larger portion than normal. A proper banana split includes a whole banana, vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice cream topped with hot fudge, strawberry compote and pineapple compote…whipped cream and a cherry!
