island lady

Not even close. Different cabin...down the hall. The mind is a curious thing. 😉

Experienced pretty much the same thing on this last quarter as you are now. Thanks for keeping this thread alive, enjoying your review. 🙂

Just heard back from the WC desk. As usual...they are spot on quick. 🙂 Have been moved to 8600 for the whole last quarter. Still on "the hump" but facing aft instead of forward. But it still won't stop me from submitting a Royal Up bid. 😉

As I already posted..."ignorance is bliss". In this case, I already know. Case in point. What is the first thing that comes into to your mind when you walk into your cabin on embarkation day? And what is the first thing that will come into to my mind when I walk into that cabin on embarkation day in Barcelona? Yes, as I also already posted...feel very sad for the poor lady (rest her soul) and her family/friends. Very sad indeed.

Too funny....Hey..."the check is in the mail". 😄 😄

That is what I was told about the first quarter. Mysteriously granted Royal Up from balcony to GS. It never hurts to ask. Worse thing they can do...is say no...but I did try. 😉

And the mysterious ghosts that look in on you. 😉

Already emailed the WC desk. 😉

As they say "a little knowledge is dangerous".....or you could say..."ignorance is bliss". In this case unfortunately...I DO know...and it does seem to matter. The mind is curious thing and does come into play as far as being in a state of mental bliss.

Since we were on board in the same cabin for 63 nights until this last Sunday...yeah, I wanted a solid foam topper. And will bring another one when we reboard for another 63 nights in July. 😉

Since that is my new cabin...yeah, that is the only interest I had in it. Shouldn't feel that way I suppose, but still kind of creeps me out.

Well in my case it's personal. That is the cabin I am scheduled to be in when I rejoin in Barcelona. 😳

Hi Adita my friend! Good to hear from you. We already miss you guys. Expected to see you in the CL, until I realized I had to make my own drink for happy hour now! Where is Augus when you need him? 😄 As posted...there is no message feature here on CC. Thanks so much for verifying the info. Eeek...I know it is probably no big deal, and I do feel for the poor lady and her family, friends....but feels creepy to think about sleeping in the same bed as the recently deceased. 😳

Well, if anyone finds out if the cabin that had the Alpha call on our last night going into LA is the one that the poor lady died in...let me know. That Alpha call was for 8592...which is the cabin we are scheduled to be in when we return in Barcelona. Adita (one of our friends we spent time with) is a Tic Tock writer. She knows which cabin.

No way to know if that is the one the lady died in...but yeah...now I want to change cabins even more so.

We were able to book at 4 am on Odyssey at Next Cruise desk (yes she called my cabin and I met her down there!)...which was the hour the quarter cruise segments were finally released. All cabins from JS and up were already booked by full world cruisers. Though the ship never ended being filled up when we boarded in Miami. Royal up from our balcony to the GS was the only way we could get that cabin. I agree...GS cabins are our usual "go to" cabin. Was happy to have it after all for those 9 weeks, felt like home, plenty of room for storage.

We heard an "Alpha" call on the last night of the cruise. Ironically I recognized the cabin number it was directed to. It's the cabin we are scheduled to be in when we reboard for last quarter in Barcelona.

Drats is right. 😞 Oh well, will run into you again sometime in the future. Have a fantabulous (set) of cruises!

No, I did not use the Klymit brand, knowing they could separate and would not cover the king size bed. I bought a simple 1.5 inch foam mattress pad from Walmart. It was highly compressed in packaging, thus fit in my 2nd duffle bag easily. I packed a large pair of scissors in my suitcase, knowing I had to trim down to size. Worked great...left it on the bed when we disembarked. Well worth dragging it on board.

OMG...I was able to cook for the first time in over two months. Drats...should have taken pictures...my seared brown sugar salmon (Tuvia BS of course) was to die for! Steamed Broccoli that was actually cooked, and wild rice. Wow....good to be home...but missing our friends and crew members. 🙂

Yaaaah! Are you dressing up for Halloween! We love those cruises! 🥰

Total bummer. Maybe next time. 🙂

BTW....ended up with two of these. Kept one (though another Serenade) due to being so unique, and gave one to favorite bartender in Concierge Lounge. 😉

I kind of like this one. 😉

We are 10/25 and 10/31 B2B for 2025. Another Halloween cruise. 🙂
