Now there's a topic I've never seen discussed on CC. I've seen napkin folding. And scarf tying. I did scarf tying once. I thought I was clumsy until I saw the trouble the lady next to me was having. And she had announced several times that she was a Gold Level Competitive Dancer, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is shuffleboard. ”Art tour” walking around the ship looking at all the beautiful and interesting works of art everywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a book available for sale for those so interested in more detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favorite sea day activities on HAL ships was the audio art tours onboard. You just picked up the device and could wander the ship listening to description of the art works on the different decks.

The problem, however, seems to be the fact that, while bacon and honey are generally available at the breakfast buffet (and even in the MDR), too often peanut butter is not out until lunchtime. In our household, of course, all such essential nutrients are ALWAYS on hand. I've asked for peanut butter for breakfast in the MDR many times. They've always been happy to give it to me.

Releasing helium filled balloons out doors is considered an environmental hazard. But balloon art? Indoors? Yes but. I'm guessing a lot of the balloon material winds up in the water.

Once it's open that preferable but since you drive you could keep it in a bag with ice or one of those frozen gel things and it will be fine. We've traveled with things like that many times with no problem. If I had a strong preference like you do, I'd probably do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they taste fine to me 😂 and I have yet to get sick 😋. Besides macadamias grow in the tropics so they should be use to the heat also aren't all the nut spreads pasteurized anyway🤔? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
