One thing at a time and once I reach my goal weight I can start in on the next challenge. I wish schools educated about the sins of our youth catching up with us as adults then seniors along with financial guidance, but too late for me for sure, dealing with what I've been dealt from my youth!

Rare jam19872016 Posted October 29, 2023 Author #2927 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Calling it an early night tonight. We lose another hour tonight putting us three hours between Spain and the US. Sad to think about how close I am to the end of this trip. But I will focus on the adventure I've had and not worry about what comes next! Good night everyone. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've enjoyed your adventure, and truthfully, not sure what I'm going to do with my time once you get home. I even forgot to check in for my cruise in two weeks, not sure how that happened! Enjoy the rest of the trip, it sure has been a trip of a lifetime. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly sounds more separatist than Cunard. Doesn't Cunard segregate their main dining rooms into four different classes? That is, Britannia, Britannia Club, Princess Grill, and Queens Grill?

Rare jam19872016 Posted October 30, 2023 Author #2931 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Good morning. I'm turning into an early bird with all these time changes. Going to get ready and meet my mom for brunch which starts in a half hour. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted October 30, 2023 Author #2935 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Checked in as soon it opened at 825. It's a zoo down there no wonder my mom complains about service in the morning there are way too many people showing up at opening time. Packing my patience this morning. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted October 30, 2023 Author #2936 Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) Table assigned at 839 but my mom has her own table in the morning (so she says) so we just came on in. The crowding at the entrance is silly when the app will tell you when to come down. Edited October 30, 2023 by jam19872016 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to use irony to convey this, and obviously failing. 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you have room? It was different than I'm used to. Supply differences I suppose, but still good. I should have room but I've been eyeing a slice of cheesecake from the coffee bar. I may splurge for it today and then I won't have room for both. The challenges and decisions I have to make on a daily basis are daunting. 3 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a heck of a bargain for the while cruise. Cunard rents by the night. I had to look into it on my cruise because I somehow forgot my tuxedo pants at home. The cost to rent just the pants was going to be $39. I ended up buying a new pair of pants in Naples for less than that. BTW, if you are looking to pick up an inexpensive tux for gala night I got mine just for the cruise for around $100 at AlainDupetit.com 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted October 30, 2023 Author #2948 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Weather getting yucky. Slightly misty but starting to turn into rain. I got 3 out of 4 miles in. Seas aren't bad so far just a slight rock to remind us we are at sea without knocking us around. Today's coffee is being enjoyed in Habana. The music is on but not unbearably loud like last cruise. I haven't figured out how to turn it off in this room, but as I said it's not too terribly loud. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
