Our favorite for precruise Bloody Marys! 😋

Going on our fourth week here on Wonder. Still doing my usual thing, as in all ships. Hand wash, roll up in towels, hang from magnetic hooks on the ceiling in the living/bedroom area. Laundry day again today. Yes, in Grand Suite...don't use the bathroom at all for hanging things.

Oh goodie...memories of that horrible night just by the smell. 🤢 Once you get sick on something...tough to go back to it. 😉

That is why I go to the bank and get the ones and fives ahead of time. I have had hit and miss on asking for smaller bills. Prefer not to suffer the misses.

I only send out "boil and fry" with cheaper cotton undies, socks, exercise shorts/t-shirts. They come back a lovely shade of gray...but clean. Light things, I hand wash and hang dry. Nicer things that are heavier and I like pressed...go to Dry Clean only.

LOL...no...they were good memories. A teaching/learning experience of the young and stupid. 😄 😄

Haha! Wish that were the case. I don't do ironing for home life...just for the dress shirts for cruise trips. I do bring light chiffon type blouses that I can hand wash and hang dry...but Bucky's dress shirts and my cotton blouses seem to send out invitations for the wrinkle monsters. 🤪 Usually try to avoid that heavy metal thing as much as possible. 😉

Hmmm...who is paying the bill for all the equipment, employees, drinks, etc. in the casino? 😉

LOL....the first time I got really, really smashed as a much younger version of myself, was drinking "B52s". I think it was Vodka, cream, and definitely remember the Baileys. From that time on, I get queasy just smelling Baileys. 🤢 😉

Thanks! We are experiencing some rollers right now. All pax doing the cruise ship two step...swing and sway down the hallways. 😉

I picked up 3 packs of ones, one large pack of fives from the bank prior to our 4 weeks currently on Wonder. Plus I bring larger bills I can easily break down with GS or the casino. Never a problem. Need small bills for drink tips and meal tips. Different this cruise, being in Europe, I also ordered Euros in advance to use in ports for small items, tips, and taxis.

I always ask for a losing ticket....and have always received my request! 😄

This exactly ^ 😉

Yeah, so many different choices in vacation mode. 😉 RV living: 1. We were able to take our "girls" my four footed fur babies as we traveled for weeks at a time. 2. I love to cook...so cooking in the RV with my own pots/pans and dishware was nice. 3. No packing and unpacking (kind of like cruising). 4. Able to drag the Jeep behind us that had our kayaks on top, and use both as we set up in parks. 5. Cleaning an RV is a whole lot quicker and easier than a whole house. 😉 6. I knew who had slept in bed from brand new...no one but us. 😄 Girls were taken by the demon cancer...so we have since sold the RV and now cruise and the land travel is VRBO rental homes.

LOL!! We are enjoying the fresh sliced bananas for breakfast in CK! 😄 My new predinner drink has become an Espresso Martini. Had 3 before dinner last night...hick! 😵 And funny thing is I slept really well. 😉 Yes, enjoying a good time on Wonder. Luckily no cabin changing for all four weeks. Yaaah! One more week to go, and loving the relaxing sea days on the crossing.

LOL...yeah, I don't really mind the piles of laundry to wash when we get home...but detest ironing. Uggh...

Bummer...but I know you will enjoy Celebrity! LOL...accidently had to change avatars. When CC did "the change"....again....they lost my current picture of Bucky on deck in Alaska. Could not reload it..or much of anything else. But this one of the sunrise coming in to Nassau made it. I like it too. 🙂

We sold our luxury motor home. 😉

Perfectly stated! Totally agree. 🤗

Right now Pinnacles not in a suite are excluded from the SL on Wonder (TA). Though there are an amazing amount of Pinnacles in full suites on this crossing, myself included. 😉

That one was from B2B2B on EX. We are currently on B2B, plus TA add on...Wonder. Have done hand washing, sent out 3 bags of "Boil and Fry" and two different bags of dry cleaning so far. 😉 I can just imagine what lovely laundry experiences I am in for during the WC. 😄

When are we cruising with the two of you again? I hope it's soon! 🥰

Thankfully we are not all the same. How boring would the world be if that were the case! 😮 We are Pinnacle, but you assume that is all we do is cruise. Interesting. We spend four months a year in Maine at VRBO homes during the summer. This Thanksgiving we are doing a time share week in Orlando. This comin spring we are doing two months at an ocean front condo in Maui. Next summer we are touring both Maine and Canada at various VRBO homes for 5 months. And yes, we live in Florida...but 80% of our booked cruises involve flights to other countries. But yeah....go ahead and judge that book by the cover. 😉

Cost to make it to Pinnacle. Priceless. 😉 We cruise because we enjoy it, and cruise a lot. Pinnacle just happens along the way. Kind of like trying to decide how much that luxury car is costing you before it dies and takes up it's new residence in the junk yard. Worse yet...that new luxury RV motor home. 🤑
