I didn't know either.

 

I posted a link on Bell thread. Thought someone else was linking it here

I saw you posted the link on the Bella thread, hence I thought I mentioned it here. I'm sure someone would have linked it eventually.

 

But honestly, I expect the Live Bella thread to be on the top of page 1 for the next few weeks so it won't be hard to find. 🙂

I can only imagine what it'll be like when the cruise actually begins.  I guess the only "good" thing is that this thread and Bella thread might be slow next week, otherwise it'll be tough to keep up.

Greg and Andrew have done some great videos.    This is definitely going to be an Epic sailing.    😃

Never thought about how many towels have to be cleaned on a cruise. This is a pic from our Disney cruise as we were leaving their private island.

It's only been up for a few hours and I'm already falling behind on the Bella Live thread. LOL.

Thanks for posting this.  Not on the main board so hadnt seen the Bella Live had started.  Can’t do both so will take a break from Dani thread (not been able to keep up with it much lately anyways ) whilst I try to keep up with Bella Live….

I was quite shocked to see 4 ships there a couple of months ago.  I walked to that bar with the swings, had one beer and got back onboard.  Never seen it that crowded.

I had a couple drinks at a walk up little in the town center.

I have been busy  today.  It was posted 7 hours before I found it!  So a lot to catch up on!  It will be great.

If anyone is looking for a good price on a OVB in May, The 9 day Hawaii cruise on Ovation has great prices.

We are on this same cruise to Hawaii with you.  They cancelled the one last year that we had booked so we booked this year's.  Really looking forward to it.  We really like Ovation & Odyssey, too.

Wow cool.  We got cancelled on it last year too.  We ended up replacing it with an Alaska cruise on Ovation  last May.  When we booked this time OVB were high so we booked guarantee balconies.   OVB has dropped to what we paid for guarantee.   Checking to see if we can switch.  

I have noticed a few are canceling do to RC going back to requiring vacs on this cruise.  Considering how long it's been since most have gotten it, what difference will it make. Oh well.  As of now I only see 3 Jr suites available so likely a RoyalUp will not work.

@Tree_skier  Welcome back!  Been thinking about you and your family with all of the flood warnings they are talking about,.  Are you guys on high ground?  Pat

Beautiful weather continues in Sydney.  DH took this photo after work today at sunset.

I found really cheap airfare for that as well.

 

$580 Canadian (just over $400 usd)  for a 1 stop to HNL and a direct flight back to YYZ.  If I went I have a feeling that the locks might be changed when I return home.

We’ve done the Hawaii to Vancouver twice and loved it, but this time there’s less ports in Hawaii, so we passed on it.
Our last time was in 2019 was 12 nights on Radiance -  2 days in Honolulu, 2 days in Maui, 2 days in Hawaii and 1 in Kauai. If we see that again I’m jumping on it.

I saw that I was tagged in a couple of posts by @LionesssSue and @dani negreanu Dani.  Once again, I am far behind, and Susan and I have been running on about 3 hours sleep. 

 

I will keep this short.  Monday was my worst birthday ever.  That’s when we found out that our daughter’s cancer has spread to one of her lymph nodes.  So more treatments to come, but this time it will be daily radiation. 

 

To add more excitement to the mix, I had an appointment with a cardiologist, had an EKG, at the hospital for an echocardiogram, and now I am wearing this fancy heart monitor for the next month. 
 

 

More tests and appointments to come for our daughter, me, and Susan, so we have to make sure only one of us has something on any one day.  

 

Finally settling in to our newest crazy routine.  

 

Meanwhile, Ricky gives me one of those looks every day.

Hang in there. Sometimes there are setbacks but they can be overcome.

And speaking about that whole ancestry thing, look what showed up in my email yesterday. 
 

 

I guess that makes sense.  He did have blue eyes. 👀😁

I am so sorry about all the challenges that you and your family are having to overcome.  Like OB said hang in there.  Ricky has a very handsome face.

@h20skibum

 

Thank you for the update.

We will continue to keep your daughter as well as you  in our prayers.

 

Also, just remember I am just a hop, skip and jump from you.

I can hobble over and we can walk and chill (literally).

 

Just let me know.

 

For now, I wish for better days ahead and health for all.

Good morning!  I just got my 24 hour internet last night and we're heading out to breakfast in a few minutes.  Having a lovely time.  Embarkation was a breeze, once Jim and Andy parked the car in the lot.  Weather has been awesome.  Ship was rocking and rolling a little last night, other than that, it's been smooth sailing.🛳️
