One year ago today we debarked Crystal Serenity thinking we would be back a few months later. Last photos before debarking in Miami. Keith

A view of the Moon which I saw a few minutes ago. It's all decorated for Halloween but missed it by eight days. I guess better late than never. Keith

Boarded Serenity one year ago today for what would be our last cruise with Crystal until they restart next year. Easy to remember lunch. Ummmm. Yes it was Cobb Salad and a flute of champagne. Keith

We loved Tastes too. If it returns that will be great. At the same time, I am just happy our beloved ships and hopefully lots of crew are returning. This makes me very happy. While we loved Tastes should they go with other venue plus whatever they do for the other venues who knows, we might enjoy it just as much if not better than the previous venues on the ship. Time will tell. Bags are packet. Ready to go. Can't wait. Keith

For those of you who like prefer deals over regular prices this is for you.

Thank you. I had seen that on some post and looked on line but shipping is not an option to any state. Oh well. If someone does find it at a place that ships outside the area please let me know. Thanks, Keith

Yes every state does their own thing. With that said I've had plenty of wine sent to me. That was not the case in Texas years ago but I've not had problems for quite awhile. Thanks goodness because could you imagine if I couldn't get wine sent to me during the Pandemic. Likewise when we first got here where we lived you couldn't get wine or alcohol but interestingly enough every house we looked at had a bar. Go figure. Also in our first town (well here they call them all cities) you had to join at the restaurant to be able to purchase a drink with alcohol. In time the town/cities could vote to change this and our city did as did the next one I moved to and by the time we got here it was already done. Driving 30 miles like we used to in order to buy wine was nuts. Oh well. When I lived in Virginia we had to go to those ABC stores to buy Alcohol. Now in California you could get it all at food store, drug stores etc.., My question though is if anyone knows of anyone selling it who ships it. I'll run it down from there. The places that have been noted don't ship period unless you live near the store. Keith

Did any of you have one of those days when you just didn't want to get up? Keith

Does anyone know if any of the stores in California who are selling the Crystal wine ship out of state? Keith

Last week heard there was a new Love Boat Series. So I recorded the first two episodes thinking it would be similar to the original Love Boat. Well, after watching the first 30 seconds I deleted both episodes and won't be watching it. Not interested in a reality TV series. The original Love Boat series combined with those Carnival Cruise Line commercials with Kathie Lee Gifford put cruising back on the map. I don't think this new show will. Well, maybe with those in their 20's, 30's. but not old me. Keith

I thought it would be helpful to post three pieces of information on one thread. Explora Journey Brochure: EXPLORA JOURNEYS_STORY COLLECTION_20220218.pdf Press Kit: EXPLORA JOURNEYS PRESS KIT 22022022.pdf An Additional Benefits Summary: One other suggestion. Check out YouTube. There are some videos on Explora Journey. One of them is an event they did with some Travel Agents which I would post but not sure if I can since Travel Agents are shown but it is close to 90 minutes and covers a lot of valuable information.
