Covepointcruiser Posted September 10, 2021 #902 Share Posted September 10, 2021 A private excursion on other lines would just include your party whether 1 or 20. These are people of your choosing and personal distancing is not needed as you are not traveling with strangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was told that they have to contact the operator with specifics of what we want to do, hours, etc and would have to get back to us with details. They have to be contacted at least 48 hours before and that the price would not be anything less than $250 or so pp. Ummm Ok thanks. The blonde lady from shorex would not budge to give this info, she avoided me since I asked a lot of questions on bus seating and cleaning and others were getting interested to hear. But the nice Mexican lady and her male colleague at the desk on deck 3 waved us back and gave us this little price tid bit. Which port(s) are u thinking about for this?

I took a course on iPhone photography and how to adjust exposure, contrast, saturation, depth of field etc. the course was on the social media site. Really learned incredible thing like framing and using reflections. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is one if the few items I like to keep in my cruise file. I get the idea of saving paper but these are VIPs that make the cruise the experience excellent. Do they still have paper ads for all the buy and spend more items? Or is it all on tv, app or ? Just one extra sheet in the daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmoe38 Posted September 10, 2021 #913 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Jim Great news on your move to the PH for your next leg. So pleased to hear this. In case you have checked out the gym facilities, and you have a minimal concern about your calorie intake on this itinerary, you can ask to have a Peleton placed in your Penthouse for the next sailing (assuming, of course, that there are Peletons in the gym.). Just a thought. Enjoy. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to increase my walking but never considered 10 miles. I do. I did it by building up to it. After retirement I found I was putting on wait just sitting on my butt. I bought a Fitbit and with the 100 steps an hour reminder. I use to just get up walk back and forth in the living room. I next started to walk down to the end of the block and back which was 1 mile. I then started a challenge with a fried. I just kept stretching the walk and built up to 25,000 steps. My ultimate destination is one of 2 Starbucks where I stop for a cappuccino. At first I thought that a mile was an incredible achievement. I bought Iain one and he does 10,000 steps a day 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeeeKr Posted September 10, 2021 #924 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Hi Jim... been enjoying your posts, as always. We were happy to see that Andrea is back on board as Hotel Director for your trip. If you happen to see her again during your adventures, can you pass along greetings from the Kerrs from Orlando (Kerr as in the jar, not the car). We'll start our b2b Summit next week out of Miami and your posts have amped up our anticipation several notches! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
