Congratulations on a fabulous upgrade, but don't forget to get off the ship at the end of your cruise.[/QUOTE] Yeah but then I have to go back to work:D.

cruz chic Posted July 27, 2013 Author #103 Share Posted July 27, 2013 [quote name='sapper1']Just imagine if you got in and couldn't get out? By the time you were rescued, clothed of course, you would look like a prune. :D:D Might be a good idea to have a buddy when you try it for the first time.[/QUOTE] Yeah, that wouldn't be good. If I think I can't do it I won't. I used to love to sit in my bathtub. It's been a long time since I did that. Off topic but I used to get down on the floor to play with my favourite puppy (my brothers dog that is no longer a puppy). He looks at me like why don't you do that anymore?

RuthC Posted July 27, 2013 #106 Share Posted July 27, 2013 [quote name='lorekauf']I have a question for you. How difficult is it to get into the jacuzzi?

The few steps and step, step together might be easier. I thought the steps to get in were in a different place than this picture but just shows you how well I can't remember things from years ago :) Loved the gold sinks. And the shower with the all body shower heads was fabulous. We had full course meals at the nice sized dining room table. Bring some cd's of your favorite music if you like the surround sound was fun to have on softly on the balcony and in the cabin- so peaceful. I can't recall if there is an iPod docking station. Just be sure not to set off the fire alarm with the toaster. :D. We had the captain calling us one morning to see if we were ok. Snce we were setting off alarms on the bridge. The toast didn't even burn. It barely even turned the bread brown or warm but it set off the fire alarm. Needless to say we never used it again. Eek!

COLLEYBERRY Posted July 27, 2013 #108 Share Posted July 27, 2013 [SIZE=3][FONT=Arial] HOLY MOLY !!! Just found this thread how exciting !!! Personally Lorefauf I don't think you should get in a hot tub unattended.I will be glad to volunteer for life guard duty....I can spot you in and out of the hot tub,bring wine,hand you binoculars etc. etc.. plus I am great company I like to think of myself as well dressed and genuinely funny... but most importantly I know when to shut up...clearly an asset to Penthouse dwelling. tee hee..just kidding.:D So happy for you. This is so fabulous... everyone will be wondering who the mysterious woman is traveling in the Penthouse...what fun.:):) [/FONT][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would certainly be a novel concept to have hot toast on a cruise. I always miss that. Thanks for all the other tips too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
