As I asked if John see if you can get a espresso martini made with Remy Martin Cognac . I think you will like it. I’ll definitely try one. Never had it with cognac. Success with the Miami Vice. In related news, they have Kraken onboard, but no Buffalo Trace. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not on the Anthem when we sailed in January but it was on our b2b. They brought out it for lunch only. I definitely had sticky fingers. Something new they were also doing during lunch in WJ was a guy came around with a cart serving various flavors of ice cream with Sprinkles too! I try to avoid deserts at lunch time but couldn't resist their strawberry ice cream. I could eat ice cream 24/7.There is no such thing as bad ice cream.That cannot be said about any other food.For me pizza is a very close second . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Competition is fierce. We are constantly receiving phone calls and flyers in the mail if we want to sell our home. I am actually surprised their realtor was under pricing the home, most are pushing for the max and most sell for higher than list price. Homes in the complex I live in are selling for an all time high and people are buying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it took was one visit to The Tube (subway) to understand the wind tunnel effect that made any hairstyles other than shiny-bald completely temporary! I have known many people in my lifetime who did not care what their hair looked like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tell them I didn’t use all my voucher drinks last cruise, and maybe they will give you one of those. 🤣 On second thought, maybe I will try that when I get back onboard next month. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank God they were with the same insurance carrier for over 45 years, so we contacted them and an appraiser came out. There was stored tractors old train parts, and some clutter and the two cars that were in there were sold.. So on the Thursday before the house was to go on the market we get a dear John letter from the Insurance carrier that there would be no reimbursement for the collapsed "shed". So my husband borrows my broom and calls the insurance carrier and said insurance was paid on a garage for 45 years and now your not covering it and you call it a shed!!!!!!!! Oh it gets better they dropped coverage on the house effective in 2 business days. Because of a downspout being off the house. They go Get this.............................. In the 45 years they owned the property and were insured by us they never took the time to have re-appraisals. My DH goes WHAT!!!!! The agent goes did you not know as a home owner you have to have a reappraisal at defined intervals. My husband now more frustrated ended the call and started a drink. I get on the phone and call a different location for our insurance carrier and told them I had a question. I go do you have to have interval appraisals for your home owners insurance. He goes no. There is routine depreciation, and as long as you do not do another addition or major change your policy is good. So now on an un-insured house no one can enter the property, because if they get hurt we have no liability. Delay in showing. We were able to obtain short term coverage, cheap on an unoccupied empty house. So after jumping through many hoops and many frustrating calls we are *hit out of luck. No financial reimbursement on the garage, or tractor. It is not over. I will not mention the insurance carrier, but, all I can say is check your policy, and try not to be screwed like we were. OK Thats all folks. OY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the MDR, I ordered for my dessert one night a banana split off the kids menu. not as good as the Volcano on Princess’s kids menu, but good enough that our table mates ordered them the next night.

I know which neighbors want cucumbers or zucchini, which ones want eggplant, etc. etc. My hopes of going outside to do garden clean-up / prep were stopped when I walked outside and felt how cold the wind is today. Was nice and sunny this morning and now looks like we will have a quick shower. Oh well, I'll get out there another day. We seem to be about 1 to 2 days behind whatever weather you get. I am making a big pot of beef stew and while cutting carrots and celery I took a bite of celery and swallowed then took a bite of some carrot and quickly spit it out as I remembered I am not allowed to eat today. Prep day. Just starting drinking my mixture of miralax and gatorade and took 4 ducolax. Let the fun begin! Your gastro people use the same prep mine does. So very much better and easier to drink than anything else over the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love St Thomas and St Maarten, also sea days , my last three cruises had same ports . We normally do NYC for Memorial Day but we will be in Buffalo area for a memorial for my wife’s cousin who died of Covid last year , this will be second year in a row that we are going to Buffalo for a memorial for someone who passed because of Covid , hopefully the last for that reason . Might move our nyc trip to Labor Day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in the MDR when we sailed so saw zilch. Did you see the two rather old domes before Jetty Park? At one one was used for check in for a casino boat. 38 years ago, There was only one of them, surrounded by dirt. The parking lot was dirt, but no charge. The dome was check in for the first cruise ship to home port in Pt Canaveral. It was very nice inside, with a circular check in desk with excited people on both sides of it. We were on the 4th sailing of the new cruise line and its only ship, the Starship Royale. It was wildly popular, with good food and entertainment that was mostly older acts like the Commodores and the Platters. That cruise sure changed our lives! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonTexasNY Posted April 11, 2022 #53771 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I was not going to post this 2 weeks ago when my 15 year old niece in Israel had a spinal stroke leaving her totally paralyzed. This thread is full of the most sympathetic and compassionate folks, but I still hesitated bringing this into our thread . BUT now I can mention it because Hila (pronounced Heela) has movement in her legs and arms. She can now finally stay sitting up with help and the therapists are working with her to get her to slowly walk. We were sent a video of her lifting up both her legs high and twirling them around. Yayyy! Doctors are optimistic she'll be able to walk again after lots of therapy. This is a very rare stroke for a 15 year old. So please keep sweet Hila in your prayers for a complete recovery. Note to @dani negreanu: Dani, Hila is Jack's twin sister's granddaughter who lives in Modi'in in a high rise. All 3 married children of Jack's sister live in Modi'in. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
