schwpaul Posted November 24, 2012 #304 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Linda, In about 16 hours, we will become part of your live blog. I am very excited to become a part of the work in progress. Thank you again for making us all a part of your life for the past week. Paul in Jacksonville, FL (temporarily located in San Juan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare NorbertsNiece Posted November 25, 2012 Author #307 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Using up the last of my credit. It was mentioned at the B2B meeting that we could talk to GS about transferring leftover credit but I have my doubts about that having been told previously by GS that it’s not possible. My laundry came back at 6pm. I’d put in a cotton blouse on the off chance that it would be wearable without an iron being passed over it…. It isn’t. That’s ok. Everything else is fine and was still warm when I unpacked it! Had the best dish of the week tonight. Rack of lamb cooked pink. Delicious. I’ve posted a pic of the Bulletin Board by the GS desk; this is where you can find out about meetings for ‘Friends of Dorothy’, ‘Bill W’ or find Bridge partners etc. You just fill out a card and pop it there. I’ve had an amazing week and cannot believe that it’s gone so fast. Negatives : bizarrely it’s the heat. I don’t do as well as I used to outdoors. I don’t tan evenly any more and I just get grumpy. Pool bar area is very noisy. The live music is very good. Being a sea day the atmosphere was quite raucous. I missed the ‘Belly flop’ competition waiting for my lunch to be served….. THAT is something I enjoy watching!!! ;) Fortunately there is plenty to do indoors on a cruise ship! I’d quite like some educational seminars on the ports of call as opposed to those that involve shopping or how to remove wrinkles or those excess pounds. Feed me this wonderful food then have boot camps for me to lose that weight….. I cannot do both on a cruise holiday! This cruise has been full of young people. People who say cruising is the domain of the elderly are so wrong. So many of the activities this week have been geared towards the young and very active. I’ve no idea how many children have been on board…… some have left me colourful messages on the board outside my room…. They need to use a spell checker….. I’ve met really interesting people in the Viking Lounge when I’ve been up there posting my blog during the day and similarly at various meal times. I was asked tonight about cruising solo and other than being charged an extortionate supplement for being alone I can’t think of a negative thing. Dani who has been supplying me with Bellinis and Mudslides all week in the Viking Lounge will be working around the Pool Bar next week. Similarly the waiter and assistant waiter in the MDR are moving stations so we have asked to be moved to their area. I’ve given each an extra tip. No envelopes provided for me but others said that they had received them in their room…… hmm…… Dani asked me if I could assist a guest who was having problems connecting to the internet! The man had a Blackberry….. totally foreign piece of kit as far as I am concerned and I couldn’t help him. I’ve barely used the balcony. I’m just too hot out there. I love popping out to see the port then dive back in. No danger of me leaving the door open! I have my new SeaPass card and the In Transit card. Will need to get up for breakfast in the morning or miss it as it stops at 830 in the MDR and 9 in WJ. This morning I actually lay in until 8. Quite exciting! Thanks for tagging along and asking questions and commenting. I have friends to see in the morning to wish them safe travels home and new and old friends to meet in the afternoon. Catch up with you all later xxx There are suitcases out in the hallway already….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crisndeefromde Posted November 25, 2012 #310 Share Posted November 25, 2012 What a fantastic job....if you get a chance this week will you post a picture of the two gentlemen for everyone to see if possible? They ate second dining with us in February on deck 3. Loving the food pictures. I am so glad they are able to prepare the GF for you. I have a girlfriend who's daughter needs this and she would love to take her and her grandsons on a cruise but was leary of the food. I know they prepared food for others with different allergies but I wasn't sure about the GF. Hope you have a fun turn around day. are you getting off the ship? Staying tuned for the second part!!!

ckrobyn Posted November 25, 2012 #311 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Thanks Linda - can't wait for the next installment! Interested to see if you now have to leave the ship on turnaround day? I've done quite a few B2B's on the AOS and we have never had to disembark......will you let us know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AOSmom Posted November 25, 2012 #312 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Hey Linda, thought you might be interested in this bit of information I got from my DD. "the schedule is weird (next cruise) because there is a huge christian group cruising who have made crazy demands i guess and will be using the theatre whenever we're not in it there will be only one headliner show per night too i guess they must be paying a lot of money" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kastke Posted November 25, 2012 #313 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Linda, This has been so much fun to follow. it is making me even more excited for my cruise next Feb and you haven't even started the itinerary I will be on!

Cuda19 Posted November 25, 2012 #322 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Hi Doug and Lynne, she will be on your cruise. Barely. Her brother is getting married on Feb 2nd so she'll be home for that and back on the ship the 3rd. She thinks I'm a bit crazy for all this but of course enjoys the attention. hehe Don't want to hijack the blog so I'll send you a friend request. Hi Kathy, just accepted your friend request...thanks. We live right down the road from you near East Lansing. Good luck with your son's wedding in Feb and feel free to email us if you want us to take any "Michigan reminders" to your daughter when we go...although I guess she will have just been home the day before for the wedding!!
