Beautiful photos @Jimbo.  Definitely would be too cold for the WJ patio on your sailing.  The colors in your iceberg and sunset photos are gorgeous.

 

@sgmn  I think tonight and tomorrow are going to be a bit rocky.  Should sleep like babies.

Happy Anniversary!!

 

We are hoping our flight from Boston to Philly goes as planned.  I have to be back at work Monday morning.

 

Do you want to meet somewhere tomorrow?  Maybe diamond lounge in the morning?

That would be fab, how about 10am in DL or if that's crowded the VCL ? Just getting early morning coffee and Seas are quite big. It was really rocking last night, thought I would sleep better but I didn't 

I only have Internet till around 9.30. I've got a red tee shirt on and navy trousers

@sgmn. Did you hear about the medical emergency yesterday on CocoCay?  A woman was evacuated by a sea plane near the jet ski area near Chill Island.

I saw the plane and said to Eric that must be an expensive excursion.  I had no idea it was a medical evacuation.

Oh no how awful

 No I didn't hear about it or see the plane. Hope everyone is OK

Last night was the second to last of the hockey tryout games. One more tonight at 8, hours from home.

 

Football season begins today. It probably won't be a strong season, but it is what it is. Owen is game day dressed. 
 

 

 

Has anyone ever told Owen that he resembles the Mets baseball player Bret Baty ?

We're back in town, and I see that I am 25 pages behind.  Jim and I had a nice time visiting my oldest sister in Scottsdale for 5 days.  Our flights both going to and coming from were good.  It helps that we sit on opposite aisle seats instead of being scrunched in middle seats like I was in last year🤨

Sue and I finally met this morning in lounge.   Our guys were both sleeping due rough seas last night.   

She is a lovely person🥰  Wish we has met sooner but was really nice to meet today.  We chatted for a while.

I just googled Bret Baty and I do see the resemblance.

I hope you find relief soon.  It is hard to find a good Dentist.  Sending  best wishes for success with your extractions.

 

 I was sad to hear our Dentist is retiring end of this year.

Ours also.  Not looking forward to his retirement, they always say come right in, we'll fit you in in emergencies.  Once he retires, I'll be looking into dentists in our area in NJ

Happy Anniversary, Sue and Gary!!💕🥂🎉💕

Please tell me about the underwater park in Bonaire?  Was this a cruise excursion, or privately booked?  I'll be there in March on the Beyond,

Thank you, Debbie.  It was good to see everyone.  We were able to see 3 of my nieces and a nephew while there.  It's been an extremely long time since seeing everyone.

Say it ain’t so!!   @Sunshine3601 or @sgmn or @Jimbo, or anyone else sailing now.  Has Royal completely done away with the Apple blossom desert?   After they switched from that raisin filled apple pie to the Apple blossom, that was one of Susan’s favorite deserts.  She can’t eat anything with raisins in, because she is highly allergic to them.

 

Her sister and BIL are on Liberty this week, and she told her that was one of her favorites.  They haven’t seen it on their menu (not even the kid menu).  Sure enough, I pulled up their sailing on the app, and I don’t see it any night.  I also looked at our December Symphony sailing, and I don’t see it there either, although the menu wouldn’t be correct this far out.

 

 I may have to sweet talk our waiters to bring some pie from JRs.  They have done that before when their pies had raisins, and JRs didn’t.

Food options on this ship aren't that great,we may not going back to the MDR the rest of the cruise.

 

Drinks are good though.

Apple Blossom has been available at lunch in the MDR.  It has also been seen in CK on most nights when we sailed Oasis.

Ordered Chicken Wings on Room Service which were very good but what is up with the celery sticks Royal Caribbean?

Part of the cost saving plan?
