Love the clay pots and I’m stealing this idea (along with the old t shirt idea) to use this coming weekend when our granddaughters sleep over. You and Susan are #grandparentgoals.

Safe travels and hope you have a great cruise.

I’ve been feeling a little under the weather today. No cold-like symptoms, just kind of achey. Took a test and was negative, so hopefully just picked up some kind of bug during our extended travels.

I don’t think there are any Central Park balconies on deck 8, or if there are they’re not available. Still on the fence between CP or OVB. I’m sure I’m driving “the” TA crazy!

I hope you all have a great cruise!

Seeking advice here on cabin choice for Bella2. We’re thinking of trying a Central Park balcony. Between group activities and port days, we barely used our OV balcony on Bella1. There are several available on decks 10,11 & 12, including one of the double balconies on deck 12. From my research, I saw comments there can be some noise from crew areas near the double balcony. I also saw some comments that CP balcony cabins can hear noise from a large screen, but I don’t see a screen in any photos? Doubt they’d be playing movies in CP, where would you sit to watch? Appreciate any input!

This is such a heartwarming story. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.

Oh, not you too! I hope your symptoms are mild and Mike stays negative.

@Ozark_Kid Happy Birthday John! I hope those grandkids are spoiling you today.

Oh, no Maryann! I hope it stays mild for you and anyone else. Also hope @derorim has a mild case. Glad your knee is better. If it’s not one thing it’s another!

Cheers to Home Sweet Home. Comfort food for dinner tonight, Cambell’s creamy Tomato Rice Soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. Can’t wait to sleep in my own bed tonight.

Now you’re talking! Where do I sign up 😉😂?

Finally getting caught up here after the Bella cruise. @Ozark_Kid I’m sorry to hear about your health challenges and hope that the final testing will reveal something different. In addition to your own loving family you have all of us praying for you. @dani negreanu oh, Dani I’m so sorry your DH is in such pain and you had to cancel your trip. I hope he improves soon and you can reschedule. Helen & Marty helped set me up as you mentioned so I’ll be in touch with any questions about our Med cruise. Sorry to hear about those with Covid or ‘colds’ that test negative. At this point I don’t have much faith in the validity of tests but as @bobmacliberty says, sometimes a cold IS just a cold. We’re spending a final few days in Orlando before heading home, but I have to ask “who turned off the heat????” High temps have been in the low 60’s, but supposed to be 77 tomorrow.

Yeah he meant that for me because we told the story that we had received notice on our phone of a low tire pressure warning. We figured we would need to replace or repair once we got off the cruise. Sure enough, when we got to the parking garage we could see a giant screw in the tire. Thankfully it wasn’t flat and we could get to a local dealership.

Got this years birthday gift this morning, aren’t they pretty 😂?

We have a cabin on hold for this one. Thanks for posting about it, I never would’ve noticed it. For us it’s a perfect combination of ports with some history (plus the canal), tropical beachy ports and sea days.

No apology needed Graham! I should’ve added an emoji to show I was joking.

Andy???????? Sounds like your manhood is being challenged!

This could qualify as a birthday gift.

Hmmmmmm….

How is it over already? We both had such a good time and enjoyed meeting everyone. To be honest, Andy had some reservations (not the dining kind) about how the week would be for him since he’s not active on CC. I imagine he wondered if he’d feel like the odd man out while I chatted and spent time with everyone. That couldn’t have been further from the truth. He told me last night how much he truly enjoyed talking with everyone every night in the Diamond Lounge and Schooner Bar. I have to thank Jen @jmh2006 for all her suggestions for our Med cruise later this year, including a hand written list! I also want to thank Helen and Marty @FromSea2ShiningSea for helping me set up that new communication method. @ReneeFLL and Mike, thanks for schooling me on rum 😉. We’re definitely interested in Bella 2.0, just need to look at our calendars once we get home. I only wish it was next year instead of 2025! How about a Bella 1.5?? We’re on 95 North headed to Orlando for 3 more days before making our way home, so the vacation continues just a bit longer for us. Safe travels to all!

LOL, Andy thanks you. The bass players version was probably less dramatic.

Made it!

John, hope you feel better soon. Sorry you couldn’t make it to Schooner Bar tonight.

Trying to get this to 100 pages before midnight.
