My server said it was Mascarpone but it did not taste like that to me.

I followed all your posts about the Allure and enjoyed reading  them. I think you have an amazing family.

Thank you so much! We had a fantastic time on Allure.

How does that work?Once she gets a certain age does she lose the Pinnacle status?

It’s been a really lovely day so far today.  Had an orthodontist appointment and they got this birthday balloon for me.  It was very nice of them.

 

Got my free scoop of ice cream for my birthday.  That’s Coconut Pineapple flavor.

 

 

My nephew from New York drove out here on a road trip with his two daughters.  We will meet up with them, my mom and all our families for dinner tonight.  They will drive to Seattle this weekend and meet up with his DW (who will fly out from NY) and all their families to go on an Alaskan cruise.  After the cruise, he will drive back to New York with his girls.  So, it will be nice to see them tonight and hear about their road adventure.

Look like they are holding on & possibly swaying.

 

Rough seas or did they start the celebrations early? 😁

Sounds like a lovely day so far & will only get better.

 

Enjoy, Happy Birthday!

Lol!

They were doing a photo shoot. The photo team was directing them.

This ship is super smooth and we have been blessed with calm seas.

I just finally caught up, I totally respect Jason for how he handled everything.  Aesha has been awesome in the way she handled everything too.

I think she's Pinnacle for life.  I'm pretty sure that you keep your existing status when you reach that age (18?, 21?) but you also separately have the actual number of points that you've earned from sailings that you were on.  If you want to get to the next level, you need to earn all of those points on your own.  As an example, our daughters are both Diamond through us, but have fewer than Diamond level points.  They'd need to earn enough points on their own now just to get to Diamond, and then more to get to D+.  Since there's nothing above Pinnacle, that little girl is already maxed out, no matter how many points she actually earned from sailing.

I read about weather event. Hope all is good with you, lucky Nanna, Marietta, and others in the area.

Thank you, Arzeena!  We were expecting quite the storm, after our grandson's father called from Pa. telling us this awful storm he was experiencing was headed our way.  We had lots of lightening, thunder, heavy rain for a little while, and were prepared with lanterns for when we lost electric.  We lucked out, once again.  My daughter keeps saying we are in a weather bubble, and she just may be right.

If she's actually Pinnacle she is there because she has 700+ points on her own.  The only person you can share Pinnacle status with is your partner, your kids can only share up to D+

Pinnacle status can only be shared with your partner and not your kids so if she is Pinnacle she is there because she has 700 points on her own. Kids only can go as high as D+ on shared status.
