Have you made your zenith debut yet on X?

We have cruised on Celebrity before, but our Zenith debut won’t be until Nov. 2025.

In 2018 I bought a Water-Pik.I dropped it last night and it broke.We bought a replacement but it is not the same quality.The reviews are awful.My fault,I should have researched it first .

 

Does anyone use a water pik brand that they would recommend ?

It's been oppressively hot here, also.  We've pretty much been staying inside.

How great that you've booked an OV w/large balcony with your casino rep for Eric's birthday.

Jim and I did a repo from NYC to New Orleans back in 2012.  Our hotel was just off of Bourbon Street.  We had a great time there, and thought it would be a "great adventure" to take the Amtrak train home from there.  😁  If you will have a few days in NO prior to the cruise, the World War II Museum is a must see!

We were also in New Orleans in 2012 .It was for our 45th.anniversary.I agree that the WWII Museum is something not to be missed.

No, that is at a hotel.  Lazy river, slides, and all those nice things the kids like. 

 


Funny you should mention, but I think it was the bottom, about 100 yards away.  No picture, because it was in a ball, but it was a matching color. 

Maybe someone lost from hang drying laundry on a cruise ship balcony🤣🤣

@harryfat1  Beautiful pictures of NYC, Harry!

Your pictures never disappoint!

Thanks for the compliments although taking credit for the pictures is like the rooster taking credit for sunrise through his crowing. 

 

Nothing special was done to my photos.  Just a classic case of "Dummy See, Dummy takes out phone and Dummy pushes the big white round button on the Phone..."

 

Voila - we now have thousands of photos and then add in a few nonsensical YouTube videos, and you have a making of another trip report on CC...🤪

 

Nothing in the class of professional photographers like these folks or @bobmacliberty

We are at the Homewood Suites.  We have stayed here before, but not in this suite.  There are only two this size in the hotel, so both are the only rooms on the floor.  
 

I think I could see us downsizing to something this size.

Was this on NCL? During Sandy? We did a repo from NYC to NOLA at that time.

YES!!!  OMG!! 2012.. It was also our first time doing a CC Meet and Greet.  We had such a great time on that cruise with the group.  It was also frightening to see Sandy reeking havoc at home while we were safe at Sea  On the tv in our cabin, we saw our daughter's flooded street in N.J., and a ship that ran aground near my brother's street on Staten Island.  We tried calling our daughter's from the ship phone, with no luck.  

 

It was a really great cruise, Arzeena!  I believe it was also Halloween while on the ship.  Was it the NCL Star??

Thanks for the compliment Harry but I'm nothing compared to the real pros like @twangster or CLR @CruiseLifeRick from back in the day.  Haven't seen much from Rick lately on any social media platform.  Hope he's doing well.

Beryl missed the Dallas area.  We got a little rain, no wind.  Some of the pictures out of south Texas make you sad with homes flooded and damage from trees falling on homes. It doesn’t sound like Galveston is open yet, Mariner is out to sea, she will come in the morning if the port opens. Harmony left just before it hit.
