Fingers crossed our friends in Florida @bobmacliberty @helen haywood @Arzeena @molly361 @ReneeFLL @RFerrington @firefly333 etc.

 

and London, Ontario are OK @A&L_Ont @Ourusualbeach

Thanks for thinking about us Dani when you are going through so may issues in your country. Our area in central FL is Ok. We had rain and a bit of wind.
I am hoping Karen @Keksie is fine. I know she lives somewhere north west of FL.
Dani, you please be safe there. I always think about you.🙏

I've got mine to save too. Idk if I'll put it on the door though, just have it with me. I saw laura wanted to have a party for bella and ladies wear pink. And john is doing a separate scattering of ashes.  2 different ones. Seadog might have said he will take pictures for John's. 

 

Bella has been with me on other cruises already too.

Is it possible to post these events on the Bella Roll Call please for those who do are not on social media sites? Can you pass on the message?

I had my previous TA call with the cabin # I wanted to switch to, after being assigned the GTY.

 

If you give them the "alternative" number (without mentioning GTY, it worked for me twice...).

 

Might try with: "I'd like to switch from # [if you have the #, even before you got the "official" notice] to this #".

 

BTW, I've been already assigned my GTY # for my next cruise, never got an "official" notice....😕 

I too have been assigned for an October cruise. Did not get any notification but I called for a question on something else and the CnA rep on the phone also said they are checking if a cabin # can be assigned. And came back with our assigned cabin #. Great location and very happy with what was assigned. App and website also now shows cabin #.

Love Peter Lugers!

Ugggh! 😁I am the odd one out.
Every time I went, I only ate their shrimp cocktail for dinner and the spinach. Do they still have the steal for one, steak for two, steak for three? Or have they changed their menu.

I missed your post first time around!  As I posted previously we sail on Oct. 27.  A bon voyage is welcome anytime!

 

Bon Voyage to all sailing before me. 

OK Bon Voyage now and I will also wish you later.🥰😁

Thanks I took a screen shot of your post. Yes i want to see the pink beach and crystal clear water. I'll have to check what night of the week I'm there. And yes i want to eat dinner there so will check out your suggestion. I'm so disappointed royal isnt releasing any more cruises to Bermuda out of florida. I was waiting to jump on one .. and none were released. Royal ports are getting  more and more boring. 

Royal only has 2 (maybe 3) each summer from FL. And I don't think they have released next summer Florida Bermuda itineraries yet. Before the Adventure it was Mariner.

It is a rough ride, but Bermuda is very well worth it.
They have weekly cruises from NJ to Bermuda in the season, but you would have to go to NJ.
I was also eyeing the 9/13 Bermuda trip.

Bon Voyage to Andrew, Lisa and Owen and Steel City and all those cruising soon! Post a couple of pictures if you can!
Bonnie is it time to wish you bon voyage yet or happy clothes picking/packing?

Glad to read that all the little grand daughters are doing well. 🥰

Here is one of our cats. Ms. Chloe sleeping. That's not her eye, it's just thinning fur between her eye and ear. Our baby is over 17 years old. Dec she will be 18. She is getting a little bit hard of hearing, so when she wants something she literally screams! It sounds like someone is hurting her. I dread when our "winter" comes because we will open the windows sometimes. I need to warn the neighbors that we aren't hurting her. You should hear her when she knows I'm in the shade house and she wants to go outside also. OMG! 🙉 She loves going out there. 

 

 

 

So cute!

I remember those Royal logo towels!

@ArzeenaCapt. Kate is back aboard Beyond and is posting from the ship again.

Yes, thank you, I am following.

We don't have a cruise booked on the Beyond while she is onboard. But who knows!😁

Oh, no meaning really. I was just trying to be humorous.

I completely understand.

It was @ESCARGO. I miss him dearly and our October sailing will definitely not be the same without him! I have spoken with his brother and shared many memories and stories about how he touched the lives of so many avid cruisers.

OH NO NO! I am so sorry to hear this. Please convey my condolences to his family. I have no family contact for Ted. I am so so sorry and very sad to hear this. We first met him years ago on NCL.

So I met a bunch of solo cruises on an NCL Breakaway sailing over Halloween 2022. My brother actually dragged me onto that cruise, because I had sworn off NCL before that. Anyway, on that sailing I met a bunch of solo cruisers and one of them was a huge fan of MSC. He convinced all of us to join him on the inaugural sailing on the MSC Meraviglia out of NYC that following April. I decided to make it a semi-B2B and my husband and I did the repositioning cruise out of Port Canaveral, and then I did the inaugural out of NYC with my solo cruise crew. I never looked back. I LOVE MSC! The price is right, I love the two ships I have sailed on so far. That solo cruise crew sailed together again over Halloween on the Meraviglia last year and we are booked on it again for this Halloween. Unfortunately, our fearless leader, the one who got us all turned on to MSC in the first place, passed away in February.

 

Unfortunately, MSC does have limited itineraries out of the east coast. We try to do all of the non-standard ones we can (husband and I are doing a 10-day to St. Maarten, San Juan, St. Thomas, and Puerto Plata out of NYC in January), but we cruise more frequently than those sorts of itineraries are available. Thus the subbing in Princess (and now Celebrity) in between.

 

Please, Jamie can you mention the name of your fearless leader? I hope it is not the person who I am thinking of.

Wow that's super cool. I'd want to do this one myself. Gorgeous. Best ever.

Hi Jane!
How are you doing? Hope you are well settled in the new home and all is good with you.

Pittsburgh airport has been undergoing a major construction project that makes things a real mess getting in and out. 

 

 

The kids were amused that the driver’s name was Ricky. 

Did he meeow all the way to the airport?😆

Following your adventures.
Happy Anniversary!

Remind me about which ship. I have trouble keeping straight who is on which ship.

I think you are going to have to make a spreadsheet. 😉😁 Also add a column for who posted painted toe pictures.😆 (Just kidding)
Hope you are good. Haven't read a post from you for a bit.

@FromSea2ShiningSea
Loving your great sunset/sunrise pictures. Beautiful!

@HBE4
I just just read your previous post....was reading backwards today!😆and kind of said a combined "safe journey" to you and to Mark. But you do deserve a separate bon voyage wish! So here goes......

Have a wonderful wonderful cruise and a very safe journey. Maybe post a picture or two of anything if you feel comfortable posting.

I know what all goes on before a cruise! The packing of "will I need this, will I need that and what if I need those"! Clothes are one thing but all those silly knick knacks that you only need when you do not take them🙄!!!!!!

Thursday morning flight.  Sailing on Friday.  Lots to get done tomorrow, and I will be gone half the day.  

Safe journey to you and also to HBE. I believe his cruise is also on Friday.

I am looking forward to your pictures. Is it the 4 day sailing?

Before leaving on the Icon cruise I had my annual check up. When we got back, early February, we heard my family doctor fell and hit his head.  He had a brain hemorrhage.  He was moved to a hospital in Little Rock and remained there until about 2 weeks ago he was moved back to our local hospital.   We just heard he passed away Sunday.  He has been my doctor over 35 years. He was a great person and doctor. 

Sorry to read about that. Hopefully your new doctor will take care of you just as good as the previous one did.

I hope you are doing good and are getting ready for your cruise.

@lenquixote66
Wishing you good luck!

@dbancroft
Have a great cruise! Enjoy!

@sea2shiningsea

Helen, I have been enjoying your wonderful pictures a lot every time! Thank you for taking us along. I would never have gone to Japan or Norway otherwise 😉😁

I just wanted to say that without quoting them again and again and jamming up the thread.
Where is your next cruise?
