jaspersmycat Posted December 28, 2013 #26 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Lisa, my late DH felt that cruising was the best way to travel after he was diagnosed with leukemia. He could go lie down in the cabin and no one was the wiser. He also said he liked that only I asked how he was doing. ENJOY your cruise. Tell your husband to listen to his body. It will tell him when to rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjcletsgo Posted December 28, 2013 #27 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Lisa, you and Tom have a great cruise! You both so deserve it! If you can, will you update us as on Mazatlan? I so want the cruise lines to put that port back on schedule, the local Mexican people have been decimated :o and they are thrilled that some lines care coming back. Happy New Years to the both of you~:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianbear Posted December 28, 2013 #32 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I had been keeping my fingers crossed that everything would go smoothly so you would get to this "make-up cruise" and so glad you are there. I'd love to see the ships decorated and looking forward to your comments and photos. Have an absolutely wonderful, relaxing cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catl331 Posted December 28, 2013 #35 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Southwest and Las Vegas flights---I sure know they have more flights than other airlines. Coming from John Wayne we changed planes in Vegas. Went from B 1 to C 27. That also includes the Food Court in between. Good exercise!

Rare LAFFNVEGAS Posted December 28, 2013 Author #36 Share Posted December 28, 2013 We are now in the Lido enjoying lunch. I know we could have gone to the Main Dining room but Tom really prefers the Lido he is not thrilled with the limited menu. So I enjoyed some Rotisserie Chicken and Baked ziti and Tom also had the chicken. We also started out the cruise right ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PathfinderEss Posted December 28, 2013 #42 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Is that letter about canceling your cruise because of a code red? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LAFFNVEGAS Posted December 28, 2013 Author #43 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Well we found our cabin it actually is fairly roomy. Wow we are just steps from outside lol To answer questions about the Explore4 dining yes they are pre assigning you a reservation but obviously not comparing to your other reservations . Because we did originally book an interior we get Canaletto so they did assigned us dining but at the same exact time we already booked LeCirque so we did have to fix that. I think we will for go Canaletto the menu does not tempt Tom. Well my suitcase has arrived so I am going to star unpacking. Someone was being cute on a Bottle of bubbly sent to us from Captain and Hotel Director :D Our Cabin steward and introduced himself they are Wayan and Ricky Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted December 28, 2013 #44 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Can anyone tell us how to get the letter 'readable'? I tried enlarging it but it only made it blurry. Is Peter Bos back as Master? We sailed with him in August. He's fabulous!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
