I guess the differences in the day it is celebrated in various countries impacts what is done. There is no concept of Mother’s Day in Japan so guess that is telling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Norwaylady Posted May 12 Author #182 Share Posted May 12 I had some coffee in Al Bacio with the Queen after arriving back onboard. She was a bit tired, so I followed her upstairs to our cabin. I changed into swimsuits and continued upstairs. The Queen decided to have a Power Nap on the bed😴. It’s slowly getting more people upstairs on pool deck as it gets closer to sail away. It’s a bit windy and on the edge of cold for me in the sun☀️ ( I know, this Viking prefer hot hot weather😎😝) The captain announced just a little after 17.30 that we were preparing the last details for departure. Perhaps it time to go downstairs to check on the Queen and prepare for the evening? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare KKB Posted May 12 #183 Share Posted May 12 6 hours ago, Norwaylady said: My biggest concern is that she will pass away, way to early as my grandparents (her parents)🙄 The king will be old (the entire family is 100+ before they die😅) Never assume...either way. DM passed 2 years ago & we were CERTAIN she would live another active 20 years (uncle lived into 100s; her sis is 97; DM was 77). She was the active healthy one. DF has been a walking heart attack for 30 years. We were certain he would go long before DM. While he has some mobility & health issues, he is still plugging along...pretty sure he has lived longer than any of his relatives. He's the swarthy one! You NEVER know. My advice--TAKE THE TRIPS. SPEND TIME TOGETHER. Oh, WAIT--you clearly already adhere to that!! DM & I took one last cruise on the Edge in 2021 a few months after her cancer diagnosis. It was magical.❤️🩹 Definitely missing her this Mother's Day. Give The Queen an extra hug for me. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Norwaylady Posted May 12 Author #185 Share Posted May 12 Tonight’s show is Leslie Mcdonel, “Women of Rock” She really has the voice to make it a fabulous show🎶 The Queen was SO impressed🤩 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Norwaylady Posted May 12 Author #186 Share Posted May 12 The Martini Bar is really in their zone. IMG_4161.mov Compared to EQ/easter they are very alive and into making a show every evening🤩🥳🤩 We usually see the flair show and then continue onwards to Cellar Master. The music in grand foyer from the house band are really good. But a bit too loudly for us. In cellar master it’s either the classic guitar player or string duo🎶 The crew in Cellar Master is excellent and very friendly❤️ They are running over the “usual” club soda and sprite free😂❤️ Tonight’s menu: Lots of delicious options today! I went for salad and flank steak. The Queen had gumbo (YES, she really enjoyed it! The bowl was wiped😂) and chicken. We had a plate of gnocchi for sharing. All tasted great❤️😋😋 Dessert menu Our waiter was so clear…. Tonight your having ice cream again😂🤩😇 I promise, it’s a winner! Of course the ladies was ready for ice cream 🍨🥰😋😂 The Queen asked for sorbet and received the raspberry flavour. I was given vanilla. This was as it should be…. Creamy, rich velvet texture and delicious full body taste of vanilla or raspberry❤️❤️🍨 After dinner it was bedtime🥰 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is one of the best dishes on the menu. I always ask for 5-gallons but usually get a large bowl (think salad bowl vs soup bowl). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Norwaylady Posted May 13 Author #188 Share Posted May 13 As I mentioned earlier, we reported a tiny bug in our stateroom…. The night light on our bathroom is all out. So it’s either full daylight or black out. This is what happens when you have the light on during the night…. If you are a person that won’t sleep well in just a few tones of light, you need completely dark mode…. Bring a sleeping mask😝 Because the bathroom light is bright and shiny, same goes for the door to the hallway😉 The electrician has visited according to guest relations. But it wasn’t a quick fix. Aka just not a broken lightbulb🙄 They needed to change something else… so they are on it😇 fingers crossed for the future😁 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Norwaylady Posted May 13 Author #193 Share Posted May 13 The Queens friend, Anki is on Rhodes this week😆 What a timing😂 (this is one of the entourage that will be onboard AZ next year) So the plan for today was meet up and have lunch together. We had a walk in old town for some sightseeing and shopping 🛍️ The Queen (again) shopped a new linen shirt and shorts…. And a new silk scarf 🧣 Ice cream was obligatory for the girls today🍨 We had a lunch down by the oceanfront. Sardines and Greek salad I was considering getting a new pair of slippers😁 it was just like petting Miss & Hannah🐾🐾🐈⬛🐈 After the day together in town we returned to the ship a little after 15.00. The Queen wanted coffee, so a stop in Al Bacio it is😅 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Norwaylady Posted May 13 Author #196 Share Posted May 13 Tonight’s show was iBroadway. It’s a great show, feel good🥳 We have had a change of musicians onboard today.

On our last HAL cruise I “borrowed” a tea light from the dining room for the length of the cruise. The nightlight I brought had a plug that did not fit into the outlet in the bathroom and the night light in the bathroom did not work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauimary Posted May 13 #199 Share Posted May 13 So very nice your Mom had a friend on Rhodes so you could meet up together. I think I would have bought a pr of those slippers! They look so fun. Glad you and your Mother can do this trip together. So special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted May 13 #200 Share Posted May 13 loved all your pics of Rhodes. Glad the Queen is shopping well. Good for her! We think Rhodes is one of the nicest ports. Beautiful location and buildings, and it offers history, great food/ coffee, shopping .Hope to return again some day! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
