Rare h20skibum Posted August 2, 2022 #66602 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Thank you for the anniversary wishes @grapau27 Graham, @dani negreanu Dani, @Sunshine3601 Debbie, @Lionesss Sue, and @A&L_Ont Andrew. It will not be the anniversary celebration we had planned. We have all 3 grandkids today, because our daughter is in for a medical procedure. Our celebration will have to wait. Out for breakfast with the grands, then will see what this day holds for us and the kids. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was headed to Pittsburgh for an overnight stay, then flying out in the morning for a same day flight for my first ever cruise. It is a good thing airlines were more reliable then. Susan and I were sailing on the eighth sailing of the SS Norway, which was the largest cruise ship at the time. We sailed to St. Thomas and Little San Salvador. Now those were lifeboats We couldn’t fly down the day before, because August 2nd we were too busy getting married. I guess I have never done that since, either. 😏 Many congratulations Mark and Susan. Best wishes for a lovely anniversary. Wow 42 years, a great achievement 👍 💕💐 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He feels his breathing is not back to normal yet if he were to exercise but overall I think he was fortunate to have mild symptoms. He certainly didn’t experience the fatigue, head fog or racking cough that many unfortunately experience. I hope your cough is starting to go away now as well as any other symptoms you were suffering. I'm glad he is feeling better I'm so glad his symptoms were not severe. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Sea Dog Posted August 2, 2022 #66605 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Up early this morning because Lizzy and Charlie wanted to do their business at 5:30am and could not go back to sleep. Too many things on my mind. Last night I was playing around more with the Midjourney Art AI program creating some interesting new art. I was thinking of @Ocean Boy and his new fondness like mine of Kraken dark spiced rum. I came up with a special glass that we should have made to drink this delectable nectar from the Caribbean.

Rare h20skibum Posted August 2, 2022 #66606 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Thank you for the anniversary wishes @sgmnSue, and @Sea DogGreg. That sailing was memorable in more than one way. We sailed into the first hurricane of the season, and it was the longest sustained, Cat 5 of the century. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arzeena Posted August 2, 2022 #66613 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Does anyone know where to look for the price of a drink package on Royal? (before actually booking the cruise and looking at cruise planner?). TYIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually, you can't - you can ask in the Roll Call thread of the sailing you want for someone to tell you what the current price is. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helen haywood Posted August 2, 2022 #66620 Share Posted August 2, 2022 We sailed on the SS Norway, formerly the SS France. I remember it extremely well!! When we set out the first evening I could tell the difference between modern cruise ships with stabilizers versus ocean liners. My, my! The pitching and rolling! I tried to hang up my clothes but kept nearly crashing into walls. Finally hung them up in the air and staggered off to bed. The next morning we saw a whole rail in the hallway had been wrenched off! It was a Big Band cruise and I was amazed how well the dancers could adjust themselves to a non self leveling dance floor! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonTexasNY Posted August 2, 2022 #66624 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I group text 4 of my friends every single morning. They're friends I met at our 1st apt. we moved to after selling our house. Then 2 1/2 years ago, for various reasons we all moved and vowed never to lose touch. These morning texts let us know what's happening, pictures included, sometimes even food porn. I wanted to share one text I received this morning. It might not pertain to all of you, but I love the sentiment: "We all are a little broken but last time I checked, broken crayons still color the same". - Trent Shelton 19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
