Von & John

@mking8288 Thanks for an Amazing Live Review! We loved being right there with you... Sad to hear you've had to cancel the next leg. Hope life treats you & your family well!!! Cheers -- Von

Absolutely expensive for the neighbors 🙂 We keep both Kitty & Pup Treats in bowls @ the front door... It's quite possible we may also buy toys for them. They come looking for us & sit @ the front door until we come out. Some bark or Meow Mabel, one of two former British Mastiff's who are no longer w/ us, used to sit & wait. She'd let out one big Woof if neither of us noticed her in a timely manner. Mabes was one of the Loves of my Life - I miss her, Moose & Murray constantly! Even though they rarely spend the night with us - they certainly are still part of the family! These days we have: Pups - Bandit, Smokey (Bandit's son), Molly, Goose, Asha & Roxie Kitties - Chitlin (aka "Lit'l *****), Kaladi (aka Latte) & Myrtle Now the Peeps should not feel left out... We have Twin (2 sets - 9 & 4)) appropriate treats always available in their personal treat spot, and Beer, Vodka, a Seltzer or 2 & Champagne chilled for everyone else.

We always want cats or dogs... But you have to be home on a regular basis to take care of them... Luckily for us we have 6 neighborhood dogs & 3 cats who all come to our house for treats & love and believe they belong to us 🙂

Thanks for taking us along for the ride!

OK -- had to look again... Similar to a White Russian... Once again - I lived in Colorado for a few years - Crested Butte & Aurora and do not remember ever hearing of a Colorado Bulldog I will have to try one sometime - Galliano is not something I usually stock @ home Maybe on future cruise 🙂 And I've made it to page 51

OK -- new one to me & I lived in Corpus for a few years... Sounds Absolutely YUMMM Ranch Water - on my list to make as soon I've purchased some Tequila... "Someone" drank the last of it

So Basically... You're beating Mom @ finding the most ducks this cruise... The fact she's not on the ship is irrelevant - You are still WINNING 🙂 Love that you plan to hide them @ Mom's House!

Thanks for an overall fabulous review... Your zest for life / enjoyment & enthusiasm shined through the entire time! As I've mentioned on the hashbrown threads... "Hashbrowns" vs. Breakfast Potatoes should be: Fresh shred hashbrowns - scattered, smothered & covered or in my case - fresh shreds - scattered & covered w/ sharp cheddar or aged havarti 🙂 Cheers & Thanks Again for sharing your cruise -- Von

@schmoopie17 We need fresh shred hasbrowns scattered, smothered & covered! Or in my case - scattered & covered w/ sharp cheddar or aged havarti

🙂 I am sure for others as well... Personally I noticed b/c I recall biting into the 3rd triangle & couldn't eat anymore. Johnny finished it off for me - so there was no waste 🙂 In my case - the 1/2 sandwich should be just about right...

Costa / Carnival Venezia... @bmwman @Jamman54 not too long ago finished uploading his Fantabulous Review!

Henry -- it looks like the Monte Cristo is now only 1/2 Sandwich... Did you request a 1/2? In April/May it was a full sandwich (too much for me - but a full) This was on the SUN (MIA to SEA through Panama Canal), not Prima

Love the retrieve my Room Service Tray!! Can the other Cruise Lines Adopt @ least this portion of the Technology...

A little late to the party - but all caught up! First cruise off to a great start & a huge spirit lifter to those of us from the Cold, Sun-Deprived, Snowy North... Von Boyage & Cheers from Talkeetna - Von

@mking8288

No Hashbrowns is just wrong... As I noted on @cruiseny4life Live'ish review - slightly revised... You're on the Prima - Just ask them to whip you up some Fresh Scattered, Smothered & Covered... No smothered for me - Either way - enjoy! Please sure to ask them to properly season the fresh potato shreds... We enjoyed amazing Rösti yesterday @ the Swiss Alaska Inn in Talkeetna 🙂

I vote for @Roscoe13... It looks like Roscoe wins!!!

Jeff & Patti - Fabulous Review & Amazing Photos!!! Thanks for sharing your Cruise with us - we need a little something to keep us going... Both pictures & words provide us all the ability to be right their with you!!! Thanks Again -- Von

Jim & Iain -- Wishing you an Amazing time in Singapore & Wow what a cruise! We truly enjoyed our time in Singapore & stayed @ Royal Plaza on Scotts, both times pre C-19... Looking at some future cruises in that area 🙂 Johnny's spent much time in Australia & I've spent time in New Zealand - we'd like to do a land trip to both countries @ this point, it will most likely have to wait until I retire to do the trip justice. Of course, we a envision cruise either to travel to that side of the world or return. As always, Thanks for a Wonderful Live Review! Cheers from Talkeetna - Von

I've switched to a Monocular & Love it... With my astigmatism I've always been challenged looking through binoculars with both eyes open 🙂

You're in the Haven - Just ask them to whip you up some Fresh Scattered, Smothered & Covered... Please sure to ask them to properly season the fresh potato shreds...

Von Boyage... Holiday cruises are Fun. Cheers to an Amazing Cruise -- Von

Hope your sore throat was from talking & you are feeling great now!

Wow - You were like the Lone Ranger here or the Last One Still "Standing"... Thanks for an awsome/entertaining review - as always...only 4 pages left to finish. Cheers -- Von

Von Boyage... Wishing you an Amazing Cruise! Cheers from Talkeetna - Von
