maggieq Posted September 2, 2023 #102276 Share Posted September 2, 2023 With all the amazing pictures posted, we jumped booked a cabin today on the 5/30/2024 Norway and arctic circle cruise on the jewel. So very excited. Would love to hear any recommendations for hotels and tours in Amsterdam and of course any tour recommendations for the stops in Norway. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How fortunate that his fiance is there for your son. I do hope that your son and his fiance will be very happy living in Florida. Will they be living anywhere near you, Karen? I said Rabbit Rabbit early this morning, Graham. I've been saying it for well over 50 years now😊. I've never said White Rabbit, though. Should I be saying that, also? If so, big question for me...will I remember to say White Rabbit?🤔😁 Hope you and Pauline are safe and well, also! My son lives about an hour from me and will continue to live in the same area. I love getting to see them often. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no interest in the Q class ships but booked Odyssey only because the date, price, and itinerary all fell in line. I absolutely love that ship and have her booked again this coming February. And I think she has the best Windjammer that I have been in. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaniDanielle Posted September 2, 2023 #102281 Share Posted September 2, 2023 (edited) I am assuming Odyssey has a similar Windjammer to Anthem. We love Anthems Windjammer. Edited September 2, 2023 by DaniDanielle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that has stopped me from booking is the fact we always go to our shore house for a couple weeks in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really a Parrothead and I've never seen him in concert, but I've been spending a lot of time lately listening to Radio Margaritaville by the pool while sipping on a tiki drink. I like the fantasy of living life one day at a time, looking for joy in board shorts and flip flops. 76 is way too young. I wonder what will happen with his multi-billion dollar empire. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love his music , went to several of his concerts and spent lots of time in his restaurant/bars been to a half dozen or so . Remember reading a story that some people escaping Cuba landed on his beach front home and he fed them margaritas until customs showed up. Also way too close to his age . 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve also stayed at a couple of his Margaritaville Resorts and loved them. He really portrayed that island lifestyle vibe. I’m not a parrothead, but my middle DD and her husband are, so they decided this morning that their cookout tomorrow will be dedicated to Jimmy and Cheeseburgers In Paradise will be served.

He article said he had been under hospice care the past while. I think I posted this before but what the heck, I've been known to tell the same story over and over.... Jones Beach State Park on Long Island is about 6 miles long with 6 humongous parking lots spread out. One of the beach parking lots (Parking Field #5) is also shared with the outdoor Amphitheater where concerts are held. As luck would have it, we were parked in that lot for a day at the beach & when we returned to our car, found the lot was taken over by Parrot heads for that evenings Jimmy Buffet concert. Every other tail gate party had some sort of elaborate tiki bar setup, decorations galore not to mention all of the island-type costumes. As we trudged back to our car, people kept offering us drinks. Not having anything to trade other than stale chips, warm soda & half-melted candy bars, I tried to offer money but nobody would take it. We ended up staying for a couple more hours & while we couldn't see the concert, we could hear it loud and clear. Funny thing is, there were probably just as many people hanging out in the parking lot as there was in the concert. I always say Jimmy Buffet gave the best concert I never went to. 😅 Edited September 2, 2023 by HBE4 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
