Great cabin

Or persimmons

One free gelato scoop for Captain's Club members (all levels) once per cruise

We’re almost always Celebrity with an occasional Royal. Now that you get equivalent status on Royal & Seabourn we might give Seabourn a try. We were supposed to do a Panama Canal on Holland in October but they cancelled the Canal portion so we cancelled out. I don’t think I’d enjoy having to wear a medallion. Let me know how you like Princess. Melody

Janet, what ship? We’re thinking about this next year from Boston

Use clear packing tape or bring a small roll with you

We’ve done that cruise on Solstice & had a great time; however, the weather in April/May going to Vancouver was quite cold, very rainy. We weren’t able to go on our balcony the last 3 days nor venture outside ( decks were closed due to weather) the last 2 days. Seas were quite rough We’ve also done the September/October Vancouver to Hawaii sailing on Eclipse. It was absolutely wonderful, weather was just perfect. We’re planning on doing that itinerary again

No wrist bands

No more ordering of tags. Print your own. Even carrying on Id attach the luggage tag to my carryon

We finally had rain!! 10:30 last night a massive thunderstorm rolled thru. I sat in my window seat for an hour & a half watching the show. We got over 3” of rain in just that time period, it was great!! Supposed to rain most of the day today too

Laurie, love, love that log green dress, & the jumpsuit! The salmon/coral short dress is really pretty also. I was so excited today when a black/taupe/white kimono style jacket arrived, until I tried it on. I got a small & 4 of me could have fit into it! Then I started looking at it closely, the black on the sleeve had bled into the white, making it look muddy. Obviously, this is going back. I’m bummed. Melody

I’ve never tried that, not a huge port fan

Thanks Lois, the top is from Chicos. Their semi-annual sale is in its last weekend. Some amazing deals. your cruise sounds so relaxing!

We went out to lunch today after meeting with our financial advisor. I had a pistachio martini & yummy lunch. Enough leftover for another meal (I drank the martini tho…)

Try the FeverTree pink grapefruit. It makes a lovely Paloma

Lois, hope all turns out well i only drink FeverTree diet tonic water & it makes a huge difference in taste in a Grey Goose (vodka) or Sapphire gin. I even bring it on board for cruises. I order a double shot of Grey Goose in a tall glass with ice & pour my own FeverTree diet tonic. Bartender told me on last cruise it was the best he’d ever had

I haven’t even looked at prime day today! Forgot all about it. We had 2” of rain yesterday (in 10 minutes, what a gully washer!). It’s raining lightly now. I’ll take it, first rain since early May!!!

Here’s a couple more pictures from Hawaii

Anita, so good to hear from you! I’m sad that your DS’s job is miserable. I’ll add you to my positive thinking list. Yay on son going to Georgia Tech for grad school!! Maybe DS could find a good job in ATL area (lots of opportunity there). Keep doing those aqua classes. I miss mine so much, but I can’t handle the chlorine, when I joined that gym it was a saltwater pool (which was great). we’ve seriously discussed putting in a swim hot tub. we had a fabulous time in Hawaii, but have as a group said next big family trip will be a cruise as it’s so much cheaper. Hawaii was great, but super duper expensive (especially food)

Lovely dress, starry night is a good term for it

We’re brutally hot this week & weekend (triple digits). Hiding inside with ac & ceiling fans our next trip is February. A week in Ft Myers & then a 10-night cruise out of Ft Lauderdale on Celebrity Eclipse.

Another triple digit day. We’re hiding inside with ac & ceiling fans & all window coverings closed. Tomorrow is supposed to be even hotter. we’re not getting moose or elk here, just big fat bears

Screenshot the luggage tag & send that to her like you would a picture

I do the same; however, I place the pressed shirts in the cleaner bag on top of everything in the case

Toasty today, going to be hotter for weekend!
