I bet you will catch an easier and better pic of the Lighthouse than I got! 😆 Sounds like a fun cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumps you near aft elevators I like the secret door on deck 6 to get in and out of 270. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am seeing $15.99 today on Odyssey for surf and stream. That seems very good to me. On Allure last April I'm pretty sure it was $24.99 for surf. BTW, there was no option to book only surf. Does that seem strange? I did not see surf only on any of my future bookings either. Yes, $15.99 is good! Onboard price is something like $25 or $26.99 for most ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am feeling like such a novice all of a sudden. I actually need to study deck plans for the first time in a very long time!😮 I liked The Book, go early and get a good seat, lots of areas have bad site lines. Might need to go more than once. Showgirls was good, but I dozed off for part of it. Long day of drinking. Didn't care much for Effectors, it was gimmicky. More dissjointed than CAT'S 🤣🤣 The show in Two70 with robot screens was ok Not sure if the tap dance show is still playing The tribute bands in Music Hall are worth seeing, but its always crowded. Go early and camp out You can re read this @Ocean Boy Edited November 20, 2022 by John&LaLa 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FromSea2ShiningSea Posted November 20, 2022 #78484 Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) Two70 is a great venue for many activities such as Bingo, lectures, dance parties and the show The Book which you need reservation for. Lecture series on spies Captain’s Corner 70’s Party Dancing With the Stripes The Effectors was in the Royal Theater. A very well done show with outstanding lighting, staging and special effects. Other than that, I did not care for the show. Edited November 20, 2022 by FromSea2ShiningSea 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The storm prolonged our trip and got us a few extra free 😁 days longer trip because it was unsafe to leave the resort. I was at college/university. I remember it too. They cancelled all classes. We used cafeteria trays as sleds at the New York Botanical Gardens. 🙂🛷❄️ 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is prepped. steaks marinated for 8 hours. Chocolate martini glasses chilling Twice baked potatoes ready to be be reheated Black Truffle Seafood Risotto prepped. Bacon wrapped asparagus ready to go into oven then drizzled with balsamic vinegar glaze reduction. Chocolate bomb cake ready to be dropped.

Rare brillohead Posted November 20, 2022 #78489 Share Posted November 20, 2022 I'm guessing that with Starlink going fleetwide, everyone's getting "Stream" from this point forward. Current pricing is Black Friday Sale, though, so it will be interesting to see what the "regular" price is going to be going forward. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FromSea2ShiningSea Posted November 20, 2022 #78491 Share Posted November 20, 2022 On this one particular morning, we were so far out in the ocean that a helicopter had to come take a passenger that needed more care than the ship can offer. It had to circle around twice. The Captain had to steer to the north a bit so to create the right condition for the helicopter to drop the basket. 16 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine's the same way. Too many Sea Dog Special Old Fashioneds? I also noticed the Weller and the Eagle Rare "hiding" behind the Knob Creek? If that's the Weller 12, I'll hop in my car and start driving to KC right now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our high school was in South Jersey............So I doubt really at that time we really would go that far to Upstate NY anyway. I see now it's actually between NYC and Albany, so you are correct that really wouldn't be upstate. Now the high school I went to now has Senior Class trips in Disney in Florida.........I was born to early I guess to go that far for a trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
