She doesn't work out, have any tone, etc. and didn't even want to do it. Said she had been having bad dreams about it for weeks. Then, she was picked first, was calm, collected and aired balanced, beautiful and long. 🙁 I did awful. Too tense. Bounced around in there like an popcorn in an air popper. 🤕 Got better as we did it over and over as there were no lines at all. That's the cool thing about trying different things, especially out of your comfort zone. Making a fool of yourself or the blunders makes for better memories, IMO. Even if it is at your own expenses. 🤣If I can make others laugh, cool. Ya gotta be able to laugh at yourself along with others. Speaking from many experiences. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time we took it we had the results about 15 minutes later. Nice! Who did you used for the test? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed Alan finally told me they are sending them to you now. What fun...they are on back order and are taking 5-6 months! 😮 Apparently gone are the days when you got your block on board. 😞 I was overlooked in May 2109 and so while on Anthem in Nov, I went to the C&A desk and they sent an email to Miami. Within 6 weeks I got my Ovation crystal so that makes me the proud owner of my first. I will monitor my points so that I can aim for a specific ship. Yes ALL crystals are being mailed from Miami which is good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindyscruise Posted January 30, 2022 #304 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Lattelove, there are places that will return your results in hours, or you could get a home test. At least that would be one less thing to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindyscruise Posted January 30, 2022 #305 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Even though we don't cruise until November, I am so looking forward to the bumper cars. It has been years since I have been on one. IFly now that scares me. John have your done the Northstar yet? Is it a solid floor or glass? I do have a fear of heights but really really want to do it.

But no traffic jams. On board just after 11:30, nice lunch in CK. 🙂 Got all my dining reservations made, now need to make show reservations...can't seem to do it on the frustrating "app". 😣 Nice JS (4) forward cabin on the aft hump, great view down the sides of the ship. No full suite this time, when I booked...the full suites had been sold out for months. The "Royal UP" was a failure, and I am happy to keep this for both legs...not going to ask for upgrade at GS. We have a JS 9640 on the Odyssey TA in April. As we are only Diamond, curious what JS experience is in obtaining CK dinner reservations at 8 pm or so. First time Suite.

I haven't been on North Star yet, but from the photos I see online, it appears the floor is solid, and some of the lower sides of the pod is not glass either. Maybe try to do it in port, as the pod only goes up and down then, not over the side of the ship like it does on sea days? (I got that info from twangster on CC, and he's done it several times.)

Totally awesome experience. I think you would enjoy it. It has solid floors. We have done this on Quantum and Anthem several years back. To me the best time to do it it's at sea. So cool looking at the open sea. Edited January 30, 2022 by LATTELOVE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see a little bit of the floor in this picture, taken while in port in Bermuda in April 2019. It’s definitely solid. I have more pictures from our Quantum sailing in 2014, but there were just to many people in them to post. We sailed on Anthem this past November (2021), but didn’t get a chance to ride it. It’s very smooth, going up, down and side to side. Stand in the center until you feel comfortable, then move to the windows. It really is a unique experience. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what got me nervous with CVS PCR test, It says it could take up to 3 days for results back. But we found a local clinic that can do it with the 24 hours results back, I would have to wait 4 days before the cruise to book the appointment. Fingers crossed for this one. Was there a cost associated with it? CVS says $139 per person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously need to be at least Diamond in C&A to use DL This one was very nice. JS and higher have a Lavazo espresso machine in room. Made a decent lungo yesterday Loved the one in our suite on Oasis. I was able to have a cup before dressing. I am not as brave as CLR, so can’t casually saunter around the ship in the robe. 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare vacationlover_mn Posted January 30, 2022 #317 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I just saw a wonderland video from Odyssey, and saw they added back a mad hatter- our very favorite cruise member ever! If any of you onboard go, and catch his name, can you tell me? While he always remembers us, and where we are from (he literally greatest us last time “hello my friends from Mn”), we ALWAYS forget his name… which i feel bad about it, but alas, I’m bad with names 😞 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted January 30, 2022 #318 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Wow!!! We had fun watching the I-Fly groups waiting until John and Laura's turn. Then...here they come up the stairs. Laura had no fear at all...she was a natural! John liked to do stunt tricks...all the while with &#@% eating smile on his face. We were their cheering squad! 😄 Tossing off lines now, had to wait on a 30 some group to board late (tour?). Enjoying wine on the balcony, Giovanni's for dinner tonight! 9 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
