You just described our Thanksgiving tomorrow! And Debbie, Marietta, congrats on your good numbers. You cannot mean that lovely lady with her hands on a walker, the one with a beautiful smile is 100? Happy, happy birthday!

To everyone on our wonderful Dani thread:

When I make baked ziti, I first mix ricotta cheese with the cooked hot zita pasta. Then I add mozz and pasta sauce. This makes it ooey gooey so good, better than dropping globs of ricotta on top. Don't judge. I'm not Italian. 😏 Now, as far as the cruise menu change, I don't believe for a minute it's done for anything other than cost saving. Majority in here want the classic items to remain. I agree. Except for the extra Chops items, the MDR has traditionally been "free" and charging $16.99 plus 18% gratuity for a second lobster tail takes the MDR experience to a whole different level. I hope it doesn't go further than Symphony but realistically I know it will. 😒

Have a fabulous cruise. Glad you all stayed healthy. Since we'll be on Adventure in Feb., I'll have questions when you get back. My niece and nephew have covid. So far nephew has mild symptoms but niece's symptoms are flu like - fever, cough, feeling achy. They were going to host Thanksgiving. My sister and bil were with my nephew when he picked them up Monday from the airport. Whole family (another niece, her husband and their 2 kids) were together at one time or another within the last 3 days so no Thanksgiving for us! I'm glad we didn't get together in a few weeks. I'm having my 2nd cataract surgery done next week and I don't want it delayed.

@LionesssSue, I was so happy and relieved that you posted your good news! Jack and I will be celebrating Thanksgiving by ourselves. Half of our family has covid! @Sunshine3601So glad Donna is doing better. @FromSea2ShiningSea Loved your pictures! @Sea Dog Greg, please, please be careful and not overdo. To continue Celebrity chat: My sister and bil just got off of The Edge yesterday and had a fabulous cruise. My sister went on and on about how beautiful the ship was. Food was amazing but then we know food can be very subjective.

And let's not forget Cousin Eddy! We take all of our out of town visitors there as well. Seeing the black X on the exact spot on the road where JFK was shot is always chilling.

Nov. 22, 1963. I was taking a history exam when the news came over the loudspeaker. We were shell shocked and our teacher made us finish the exam. We all hated him for that. Funeral was Nov. 25. What a sad time for our country Constant prayers for your daughter.

Oh I agree but I don't voice that opinion loudly where I live. 🤐 I meant soft drinks. I know nothing about beer.

Dr. Pepper is the state drink of Texas.

Thanks. I have to look into that.

What a coincidence. I just watched My Cousin Vinny last night for the bajillionth time and I always laugh out loud.

And here I thought "youz" was a NY thing. Like @LuckynanaMaryann, I'm a Pepsi girl. I love when we're out, and I order a diet Coke, the server asks "is diet Pepsi ok"? I just assume every place offers only diet coke.

Thanks, Ken. We "what's app" all the time. When we moved to Rockland County from the Bronx, our friends said we were moving upstate! You can't we worse than Jack. I showed him @John&LaLaJohn's picture and he keeps calling him Bella!

We want to be able to text our daughter in NJ while we're cruising. We don't need email or video chat. Which plan is best? We never felt the need before.

I am salivating here. Better than a restaurant! I'm sure it will be a huge success.

Congratulations. So exciting. Try not to stress. Your kitties will be fine.

70% chance of snow showers tonight with temps in the high 20s. Not 66 inches but this is Texas 🤔

So you just go on Royal's regular website to see what Black Friday deals are available? That is when the system is up.

What an exceptional and brave girl she is! Hope Donna feels better soon.

@OurusualbeachKen, how was the new Galveston terminal? The old terminal looks like a large warehouse.

Maryann, my heart smiled reading how well Ryan is doing! So sorry to read this about your beautiful Cinnamon.

So sorry there was a nightmare of disembarkation. That certainly is no way to end a wonderful cruise.

Lunch with my friends today was fabulous. We drank, we ate, we laughed for 2 1/2 hours. I had an exceptional dish but forget the name. Chicken w/mushrooms over pasta in a brandy cream sauce. So good I cleaned my plate.

That's what I saw on Tony's La Lido Loca you tube vlog. Apparently, there will only be 4 entree choices, no more classic choices. Tony didn't believe the reasons RCI is giving for the change and neither do I.
