I wish I knew a way to be able to share it outside of CC. It’s cringeworthy and hilarious at the same time!

I'll give a call and let you know what they say.

Actually, with y’all being a contraction of you all, it is plural. 
All y’all, therefore, is “All of you all”.

You would think so, but not in Kentucky. 🤣

Sorry about my foul mouth. I guess next time I’ll have to use the words freezing, icy time of year. 😆

This still sounds a little too judgmental to my sensitive ears. I suggest instead calling it the time of year with non-summer like conditions.

Probably, CC was playing up and I couldn’t get the one photo to post. I am sure @sgmnunderstood. Sure beats pizza.

I remember visiting my relatives in Devon at summertime as a child and i loved the Cornish Pasties, Ploughman Lunches at the pubs and the ice blocks (had a different name I can’t recall)at the pebble beaches and the Devonshire cream teas.

Nobody knows if the players of the 20’s to the 50’s ever used substances to enable them to perform better.

Does anyone agree with this, only enhancement they had was liquor.

How would you know that they did not take drugs ?

Ok, so when I saw this post, I thought I may have missed a photo that would surely get banned here.

 

 

Where I am from, pasties have a totally different meaning than what was probably being referenced. 😳😏

 

 

 

 

In RI it means exactly what you are thinking.

The only ice I want to encounter is what goes in a drink.

I grew up in the North and moved to Arkansas in 1979.  I do not hear All y’all that often.  Y’all is rarely singular but sometimes.  Here is an example how you might hear both used.  You are on a cruise out of Galveston with a bunch from Arkansas……."Y’all, let’s go to Sorrentos."  …. Some, but not all start heading that way…… "No, no y’all.  All y’all, need to go."

 

 All, y’all makes sure all are included.  All y’all understand what I’m sayin?

Maybe they had coco cola with cocaine in it before every game😁

I phoned royal and after a lot of back and forth and noone really sure what the charge was for I was told it will be refunded.

First they were trying to say it may be a charge from my 8.28 sailing on Oasis but after review of that bill they were clueless.

Glad you got that taken care of, Debbie!😉

Maryann, good luck for negative results.  How long is your cruise and what ports will you be visiting?  Smooth sails to you and Jim.

I was thinking the same thing. Between late nights of over eating,  over drinking and for some, alleged womanizing,  any substances probably hurt their performance.  Making their statistics even more impressive in today's day & age.

We're leaving from Cape Liberty on Thursday.  With the hurricanes, tropical depressions, etc. we've decided not to park at the pier and instead have asked our daughter to drop us off there....we're just a little over an hour away.

I read a book by Joe Pepitone who shared a room with the great Mickey Mantle , he talked Mickey into smoking a joint , this was spring season, Pepitone had to tell  manager he was to sick to play , but Mickey played the whole game in the outfield,  I sure Mickey drinking caused him to have a shorten career. My wife bought me a Mickey Mantle’s signed baseball and plaque.

Yes, Royal announced last fall and construction started earlier this year there will be a Royal Club (I think is what Mr. Bayley called it) on Cococay for Adults only.

I couldn't get a peek when I where there earlier this month, probably people doing zipline or water slides have seen in.

This is from last October.   If I remember correctly it's the area behind the living quarters. 

 

This is from January.   Not as zoomed in. I am not sure what area it is.  Does the long narrow area in the back where it's supposed to be or to the right?

I just read an article that says it will be called Hideaway Beach with Royal Beach Club.  It will be located on the western end of the island where there is undeveloped land.

Looking at your photos maybe that is on the left side to the end of the island?

Do you have any plans to get on the waterside in the near future for an updated photo?😄

Sounds wonderful!  Smart move having your daughter drop you off.  I always wanted to visit Maine.  I'm looking forward to reading all about it.

No, Coco Cay is not on either itinerary but we all know itineraries can change.

[brillohead]

I'll be hitting Coco Cay six times in the next two months.... I'll see if I can get the story about the adults-only beach from the folks who live/work there and report back.
