taznremmy Posted November 15, 2022 #78103 Share Posted November 15, 2022 @Jimbo I am once again playing catch up, but want to say how very sorry I am that Graycie passed. I can definitely empathize. A feral cat and I adopted each other during the pandemic. He (Mr. Kitty) was such a blessing to me, but after about 1 1/2 years, he had a stroke and died. It was all so sudden. I was with him when he took his last breath. Pat 17 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What next for additional charges? Prime Rib? I agree! I understand they are experiencing rising food costs like everyone but $16.99 per tail is way too much. Hopefully their trial run on Symphony is a fail😁 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure he enjoyed being with you as much as you enjoyed his companionship during the pandemic. He looks very content in above photos. May he Rest in Peace. 💕 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we were looking for another home for her, but after taking her to the vet and found out she had FIV, there was no way we could give her someone else in fear that, that person would just put her down because she comes with complications. Through the years we spent a lot of money on her, every penny was worth it. 🙂 She turned out to be one of the most caring cats we have ever had. My Wife used to talk to her and swears when talking to her she would talk back to her just like a real person. She was an amazing cat and sure are glad we got to spend 4 wonderful years with her. So sorry about(Mr. Kitty) He looked like our Lucy. 🙂 Edited November 15, 2022 by Jimbo 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems you lobster tail lovers will have to pay $16.99 + tip for every lobster tail if you consume more than one on Symphony on lobster night. It is an experiment RCI will be trying out along with a pared down menu with fewer selections. We ate at Hooked and tried the Taste of Royal on the Navigator and do recommend both. I had not heard this before. Seems very bogus to me to have to pay extra for those tails with a tip on top of it. Your waiter is already being tipped. I'm glad I dislike the MDR as much as I do. I have no plans to ever eat in there again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of reminds be of a virus how it spreads. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use to have a cat, China, that Eric had trained to say "Hello" she was in meow version but truly did sound like Hello. Our cat Sparky knows how to tell time. Eric never believes me until lately I have showed him on the weekends how I tell the cat to be home by a certain time and sure enough Sparky comes home on the time I mention. Not just food time. I showed him on various times of the day. You may not realize it right away but your other cats are going to be grieving the loss too! It took my previous cats anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks to get back into their normal routine after a death of one of their buddies. Lots of hugs and kisses will make everyone feel better. 😃 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare brillohead Posted November 15, 2022 #78114 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Clarification on the dining room changes, since the info here wasn't quite accurate. TRIAL RUN of new menu on Symphony only at this point. Hopefully this will go the same direction as Dynamic Dining and No More Crystal Blocks. The smaller menu is an attempt to increase speed/efficiency through streamlining. Lobster night will include one MAINE lobster tail for free. ADDITIONAL MAINE lobster tails will be at an additional cost. No tiny Caribbean lobster tails served at all, they're not charging for the tiny tails at all. And you still get one LARGER Maine tail for free. I now return you to your previous gnashing of teeth. 8 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was news to me too, since I have been out of the cruising loop for a couple months. I looked at some of those menus, and it looks like they have pared down the number of choices, not only on entrees, but on deserts. Susan would get the apple blossom for desert almost every night, and now it looks like it is only offered one night. That is disappointing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debated whether or not for our other 3 cats to give their regards before taking her away to the crematory but didn't want to put them through it and give them bad thoughts. The 3 cats look curious sniffing around, my wife has cleaned all blankets and such. Hopefully the 3 cat's are doing well. They seem to being doing fine so far. My Wife is really taking it hard, said she heard a cat crying behind a closed door but all 3 cats are in the room with us. It's sad sometimes. She keeps telling me no more animals, like I haven't heard that before. 🙂 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian and I are taking EmergenC and all of the vitamins and trying to avoid it. Hoping Andrew is feeling better and stronger today, and that you and Brian dodge the bullet and stay healthy.

I'm looking forward to a glass or two of Moscato and laughing non-stop at our previous antics. Going to a previous favorite Italian joint of ours and hope the food is as good as I remember. Eye is totally healed. Amazing how much clearer I can now see out of that eye. Second one to be done in 2 weeks, Hopefully, I won't develop a scratch since a contact lens will be placed to prevent it from happening this time. The scratch happened after the surgery, not during. Hey Bonnie...I'm sure by now you are still with your dear friends and enjoying your time together. Mozel tov! Great to hear that your eye is totally healed. You will be fine after the second one, and you will be so happy once they both have been done and you can get rid of your glasses.😉 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never talked at all when Gray Kitty was alive. I guess he doesn't have anyone else to talk to. And he has tantrums when he doesn't get to do what he wants, like go in the back bedroom. He has a noise that sounds like no, and he throws himself down on the carpet and sulks. ☺️ 6 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
