Not sure where you could spend that much money quickly except a trip to the very over priced jewelry store onboard and that would be bad. I would just take the money home with me and pay my onboard expenses with my credit card when I get home using the money I'm bringing home with me.

Everything spent goes on a cash back credit card - you'll likely spend less AND get a discount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have never spent that much in 8 days, at least that I can remember. What I don't remember, is that refundable at the end of the cruise. We are on the Edge Oct 9. Is the Odyssey going out of FLL too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought our OBC was high but now it’s looking like chump change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a recipe from the magazine for Spaghetti Bolognaise with the bonus ingredient of vegemite…. Have a friend who lives in Sydney, she brought some home with her one time. No thank you, you guys can keep it. She said she's growing used to it, but not quite at the like it stage yet. 3 hours ago, helen haywood said: Well, that may be the medical definition…my grandmother said it was where I’d been kissed by angels.

Our major supermarkets here release a free magazine each month which I picked up today. As we are at the beginning of Spring, strawberries are very cheap right now at $1-$2 a punnet and avocados are also very cheap at $1 each. We go through a lot of both of these in our house so enjoying the reduced prices. They are also a prominent ingredient in this month’s recipes. Darn, I want to turn the page and find the recipe. The crust looks like it was made in a tart pan??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaches in front of condos and resorts were mostly empty as many tourists are gone with kids back in school, but local beaches were still a bit crowded. It's was a warm 90F but humidity was only around 50%. Nothing that a dip in the (warm) ocean or a frozen cocktail couldn't fix. The receding waves made interesting grooves in the sand. Looked like some sort of flower. This looks like fun. I need to see if this is something that anyone can rent/do, or if it's privately owned. At one point, there were two of them at the same time.

Their Leader Jerry Lopez is a friend of mine. Great guy and the whole band is incredible. Be sure to look them up if you are in Vegas at the Copa Room on Monday nights. Last year Royal put on a live virtual concert with Santa Fe and The Fat City Horns on FB during the lockdown. It was awesome awesome concert. What a treat that was for those of us sitting at home with the lockdown and missed cruising. I think Royal then did a couple more live concerts with the Royal band because these live virtual concerts were so good and well done. The Royal horn section is so outstandingly fantastic, too. I'm attaching the video from F B. Not sure if it's allowed. But I'll try... https://www.facebook.com/royalcaribbean/videos/2628604914077273 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
