Can't believe the main boards are so caught up in bedtime and dance classes that stuff like this is barely mentioned.

 

From an obscure Live thread

 

Seems newsworthy to me

I don't recall ever seeing a ship that far off the pier with gangways set.

New thread… what time do you swim in the ocean and how do you get in.

 

Edit, hope no one was injured.

Headed to Iguaza Falls on the Serenade cruise. Hope we don't go over, its a 250' drop

 

 

In Disney World their is a ride called SOARIN that is in front of a 3D screen that takes you traveling around the world and I believe these falls are in part of the experience.  Well it does look like these and it is an awesome ride.

That wasn't apparent while you were sitting in your car?

It was quite apparent to me, but was the same excuse they gave at the ports.

I mentioned looking at the Harmony Jan 7th cruise with stops in Aruba & Curaçao.  Looking around, I also found an 8 night on Jewel of the Seas, stopping at Aruba, Curaçao and Bonaire, departs on Jan 6th from Pt Canaveral.  PC isn’t the easiest as far as transportation to/from Orlando airport but in the other hand, there are more flight options there from Providence.  Price is quite a bit lower than Harmony too. Anyone here ever sailed on the Jewel? Radiance class seems to get a lot of love in review searches. 

Yes. We have sailed on the Jewel. I found it same as the Serenade.

We will be there in January, we can check out and confirm. It's one of our favorite rides in Epcot.

Thanks, that looks interesting.

 

Speaking of Sosa. This is him and I in 1998 at the airport in Santo Domingo when Hurricane Georges went thru the DR. It was a charity event.

 

 

That is so cool. I shot a interview with him. A very nice guy. Great picture of you!!

Today is my daughter’s 15 year anniversary, so we will have all our grandkids starting around lunchtime.  Bigger trips planned for tomorrow and the weekend with them, so this may be a day to stay local.

 

 

 

Hope you have a great celebration of your daughter's 15th. Tell her congrats from Sea Dog, she will say "who"?

Wow! Amazing someone was not seriously hurt. Looks like the mooring lines were not tight and the ship drifted away from the pier.

Had another visitor for my dinner last night, Charlie.

Those are the Iguaza Falls you see on SOARIN.  I did not connect the two until you pointed it out. SOARIN IS one of our favorite rides.  We like that you see Fiji too.

Another favorite is Flight of Passage.   I explain it as SOARIN on steroids.

FOP is the best ride in AK for sure.

Many years ago,before I joined CC I was a regular on another cruise message board.I became friendly with a guy who posted there and we made plans to meet for lunch with our wives.He lived 5 hours away from us but we met and became instant friends with him and his wife.

Over the years we drove to where he lived and he drove to our area to meet for lunch .In 2016 they moved to Florida but we still kept in touch by phone and e-mail.
This morning I found out that my good friends wife passed away.I was shocked to hear this.She was a very nice person .

We had a visitor yesterday.   

 

I took this pick and loved it.

 

I told Kenzie it's so good I will have to share it on Dani's thread.  She looked at Shashey and said, he's kidding right?

 

She said nope then she gave me the look.

 

Then she said, post it and I will hide your flip flop.

 

I said, that, that's not mine.  Kenzie,  several love seeing you.   They will love the pic.

 

She said,  OK Gpa but it will cost ya a peanut butter cracker..

 

 

If Kenzie ever gets together with  Felix  @John&LaLa when they grow up, not only would they make a fine looking couple but they would make fine looking babies.

There's a scene in You Only Live Twice set there. JB gets away in a hang glider. Jaws goes over🤣

Kenzie's a bit older than Felix. 

 

But I married an older woman😇

Serenade had them when we sailed. They were pretty cool. I don't remember anything else very outstanding in the Centrum. That was back in the days when the Seaview Cafe still existed.

Some of the class had them removed. Likely around same time Seaview got the boot

 

R Bar and Vintages are in the centrum

My sister-in-law did Soarin’ years ago when it was just showing California.
She knew we were about to take the grandkids to Epcot and warned me not to take them on it because it was too dangerous. 
You’re never more than a very few feet off the ground, but my sister-in-law actually thought she was 30-40 feet up. 
I’d love to see the new one.

When they pumped in the orange smell when going through the orange orchards was always neat too. 🙂

It think it was the Greek orzo salad. His whiffers were really going. The salad has only feta cheese crumbles. It was really good. I posted the recipe in an earlier post.
