Rare Lois R Posted July 24, 2017 Author #11 Share Posted July 24, 2017 This part is not really about fashion but it is also the first time I am flying Business Class:D....it was a special from the cruiseline..........upgrade from coach for 500.00.....could not pass it up:D..........I understand I am going to be spoiled for life now;)......the seats go back to where you can actually sleep like it is a bed:)............. I will wear a comfy pair of pants! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will wear a comfy pair of pants! You will love it all. Lie flat seats, nice meals and of course wine and other adult beverages( or non alcoholic of course if you prefer) and always snacks available (not that you need them what with all the food they serve) I love it when they pass the little hot towels and then put a clean, white cloth place mat on the tray table! I can only speak for Delta but I imagine other carriers are about the same. So nice to be able to get up and walk around without bothering anyone. Yes, it's hard "going back" once you've experienced Business and First:) That Joan Rivers line has some nice pieces. I notice that since she passed away, they don't have the selection of dressy, shorter jackets and tops. Everything is longer length and I need the shorter items:( Enjoy all the anticipating between now and departure day! Sharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHF Posted July 29, 2017 #20 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Have a marvelous trip! We really enjoy SS and are doing your cruise in reverse in March. We also took advantage of the business air upgrade. Do report back on dress, shopping, and things to see! And of course, report on all things SS. I found the crew to be wonderful and will go out of their way to please you...I know it should go without saying but a little kindness goes a long way. I've seen some "ugly American attitude" that didn't need to be present. Melissa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa Hi Melissa, I agree........I always use Please and Thank you:).....I grew up with those words and my Mom would be looking down very mad if she thought I didn't use manners........I got reprimanded as a kid if I answered a yes or no question with a "Yea".........instead of YES...........so please and thank you.......they do go a very long way:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted July 30, 2017 Author #22 Share Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) I forgot to post about my shopping trip today:D....Normally I don't buy new "cruise stuff" anymore but I decided to go for it anyway this time:D........went to Stein Mart and found a really nice pair of black slacks.....on clearance for only 12 bucks:D....they fit great and the length is perfect too........and a beautiful top.....may sound strange but is a black and white stripe (knit top)........with an absolutely lovely red rose sort of going down the right side.......it is embroidered and normally not something I go for......but I decided to try it on and I LOVED IT.:D Also go some tops for daytime (casual pullovers) and got 2 pair of sandals.......anyone wear TAOS brand? VERY Comfortable and cute too! I got these at The Walking Company.......... These are the sandals...... Edited July 30, 2017 by Lois R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
