perfect match

Great review, @CatLadyFemme! Glad I’m caught up now. Congratulations on your promotion & tenure! That really is a big deal!

Thank you, @Ozark_Kid! Great thread, great pictures!

I’ll be following along with you. Sounds like a great trip!

Sorry to hear that Mike tested positive, but glad you’re doing better, and that you’re both safely home. We started our vacation yesterday, so I don’t think the cats missed us much when the sitters were there last night. Today will be a different story! Between our original cat sitters getting Covid, getting charges twice at check in on two different credit cards (only one of which I swiped in their machine, finally figured out they had the other one on file for me and the charge kicked in automatically- definitely not supposed to happen!) and the fire alarm in just our room going off at 7AM while we were sleeping, took an hour to get it fixed, then going off again at 9 AM, this vacation has been off to a rough start. No comparison at all to what you and Mike have been going through, but still not exactly relaxing.Hope we’ve gotten all the problems out of the way and we’ll be able to enjoy the rest of our trip.

Checking in now, but off to get some sleep before we start our land vacation in the morning. I’ll be checking in here from my oceanview balcony - it just won’t be on a cruise ship!

Renee, I hope you’re starting to feel a bit better now. Sorry you had to go through Covid on your cruise. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Our cat 🐈‍⬛ 🐈‍⬛ sitters are having the exact opposite experience from yours. We’re leaving in the AM for a land vacay. This past morning I got a call from that they both had just tested positive for Covid. They had their phone on speaker, and they both sounded horrible. They said they both felt even worse than they sounded. Fortunately for us, friends stepped up and said they would take care of our boys while we’re gone. They’re going away themselves shortly after we get home, so we’re turning this into a cat sitting exchange. We’ll watch their girls 🐈 🐈‍⬛ while they’re gone and we’ll save on cat sitter fees.

@twangster every time I think your pictures can’t possibly get any better, you prove wrong. The shots on this page and the previous one are spectacular. Thank you.

I still have to catch up with @graphicguy, but I’ll definitely be following along here. Alaska is on my bucket list. Unfortunately for me, it is not on DH’s bucket list, but I’ll get him there eventually. Meanwhile, I’ll enjoy cruising virtually along with you. 🛳 😎 Thank you for taking the time out of your vacation to do this.

I really should be on this cruise with you! I love my bacon 🥓 thin and crispy! If the bacon 🥓 isn’t thin & crispy, I’m not even putting it on my plate! I also love ❤️ both of your itineraries. The ABC islands are my favorite ports in the Caribbean. We haven’t been to Bermuda yet, but it’s on my list of places I really want to go. I looked at both of these sailings, but the timing simply didn’t work for us. Guess it’s another virtual cruise for me.

@BennyBrun, thank you for another great live report! We’ll be on a land trip next week, so hopefully I’ll find a way to fit in a virtual cruise as well! @mac_tlc, thank you for all of your contributions on this thread as well. It’s been great to see this cruise through two different sets of eyes! I’ll be looking for your Harmony review in August since we’ll be boarding her in mid September. 😀
