Webecruzen Posted June 5, 2019 #336 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Now I’m looking at cruises for January or February! The ship must have a steak house though. Wish we could have made the September Sunrise cruise work, but will definitely see you in July during our road trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry you won't be joining us on the Sunrise, but happy we'll get to see you when you come up our way. Keep us posted of your plans. We may be pushing our New Orleans cruises back a year. Had some large unexpected bills pop up, so we'll see. 16 hours ago, fyree39 said: I love Patti's red dress! Wow! It's lovely! Tell Tom the Dodgers are on a roll! Patti says thanks!

DebOinKC Posted June 6, 2019 #350 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Something that I have noticed in your pictures of the dining room at dinner, most of the table are empty. I think you said you had late seating. Did most people have Any Time Dining? P.S Still enjoying your review & pictures 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
