But I be darn if I can find anything about canceled cruises by Royal Caribbean. Anyone else here heard anything. I sure hope we all don't read about this tomorrow morning. It was reported on WDBJ7 Roanoke, VA. No idea where they got the info from. Roanoke 🤣🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I was driving around with my sun roof open on a couple of days, too. The sun was making the car too warm. Honestly don't care for sunroofs down here. Convertibles and NEV's are the way to go. Well, most of the time😉 Oh, and no sunroof in the Q5 Edited January 7, 2022 by John&LaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, most of the time😉 Oh, and no sunroof in the Q5 I've never cared for convertibles. Going down a highway at 70 mph I prefer being surrounded by metal. Besides, I don't even open the sun roof that often as I don't like noise interfering with the sound of my music. I pay a decent amount for upgraded sound systems. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in Missouri in the winter time, I call it MISERY!! I can tell you it’s misery up here in Canada too. The best way I can think of warming up is heading to Q39, in Midtown, and getting a heaping plate of BBQ. Heck BBQ from anywhere would help with the cold. Actually any day BBQ would help. 😋😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted January 7, 2022 #530 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) I guess Portside BBQ on Oasis is an even better option. 😂 Edited January 7, 2022 by A&L_Ont 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like an old MG or Spitfire. And the audio upgrade is too notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedIguana Posted January 7, 2022 #532 Share Posted January 7, 2022 11 hours ago, nocl said: Keep in mind that the air flow systems on cruise ships put a slight positive pressure inside. If you keep the outside door open then that cabin will not keep that slight positive pressure and the air conditioning system for the surrounding cabins will be impacted since more air will flow into the cabin with the door left open. In addition to the normal heating/AC impact it might also impact air flow from the hallways into that cabin. Might be why they did not want the door left open. I am sure it is not the case on all ships, but on most of them the A/C will automatically cut off if the balcony door is open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D4 Posted January 7, 2022 #539 Share Posted January 7, 2022 @Rosy Season Now that Royal cancelled a bunch of upcoming sailings out of Florida, a lot of people here owe you an apology. They discounted your posts and bullied you because you shared your quarantine experience and explained how Royal wouldn’t help with your post-cruise quarantine arrangements like they promised.

We have a ruby red Mustang convertible like yours and we love it. DH is a motor head and loves to drive it.

I refer to Laura's as 'Arrest Me Red' She had to special order it to get the white interior. I was fine with the red interior, but it's her car. I'll look into the windscreen, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently you’ve never been a supervisor, a big part of their job is to make sure the work gets done by the right person. You also must think that the chore in question was part of the captains job as you stated “What can I shove off to others what I do not want to do myself.” I think you want to continue to argue so keep doing it. I choose to ignore as I believe captains can help at anything they want to 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugs ❤️ Thank you. I take no pleasure in the conditions we were in or having to say what I said. It was a nightmare and Harmony was just one of the firsts. I truly think that the entire industry is about to pause for a bit. At the very least, I hope people realize I wasn't lying or making it up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
