You are in the RS and will be well taken care of. You should be able to dine in any venue you choose and your butler will make certain of that. Do not fret. Once on board, everything will fall into place 🙂

OK Mr. Compassionate 😞

As a former stockbroker, it is just something I have always done. I always want to know if I need to reposition myself with either my stocks, bonds, or cash. It still sickens me and I feel sorry for those that really cannot afford to take the losses.

I typically check my brokerage account every few days if not daily. I have not even looked this week because it will make me sick to my stomach. 🥲

Back to the funny place.....such a relief to come here in the morning. Gotta go milk my cow so I will check in later. Have a good day Coolers.

+1 For true high-end culinary experiences I would never expect that on a ship - I book land-based trips for that with a focus on restaurant choice.

saw the outage on the news. Hope you get service back soon

I feel a bit sorry for the chap. I really wonder what magic tricks she had in her bag that he never experienced prior 😉 Potent stuff. You do know that the cooler is turning into Page Six with this stuff. Rather fun though. HA! I think we will need to get back to jokes and cooking or we will all be in trouble.

On that note, we still have Hunter. Yikes! Maybe Meghan and Hunter can have a lovely lunch date arranged in California? Then all would feel very sorry for Harry and welcome him home with open arms. This is the perfect scenario for both countries.

We are all proud of our individual countries even their many misgivings. The 4th of July is a big deal in America and I hope many of you post your fireworks pictures. Our hotdogs cost a bit more this year, but nonetheless, we will enjoy at least one from the grill. Jeff, one favor to ask....Can we send back Harry and Megan? JK

Lois, I was about to look up PITA as I thought it was your medical diagnosis. All of a sudden, my blonde brain made the connection to what it was LOL! Speedy recovery vibes coming your way. 🙂

I probably have equal cruise days on both O and X. Depending on timing and itinerary, I would choose O. O ships are beautiful ( stick with Riviera and Marina) both exceptional. Just a more refined experience. However, when we cruise on X, it always makes me feel younger and a totally different vibe. We also cruise only in suite class on X which works well for our needs.

Louboutin? Anybody? 😉

It reminds me of "this little piggy went to market"...you know the one your Mom played with your toes. 😉

I did this trip with Ponant in early November. We left from Montevideo and spent 4 of the roughest days at sea to get to S. Georgia that I have ever experienced. Antarctica was smooth as glass. Plenty of wildlife to see and at this time of year, you do not get all of the penguin poo. Much more pristine with white snow and plenty of green on S Georgia. I prefer it this way because had been to Falklands prior and the odor from the poo is very strong. The penguins were nesting so we did not see the chicks and not as many whales either. Tons of seals and penguins everywhere. Be cautious, those seals are not very friendly. Yikes!
