Bill, in April we were in C603 and had Roderick as our cabin steward. He was AWESOME! I nominated him for employee of the month...best steward we've had in years and years. Is he by chance your steward? If so, tell him "Mrs Debbie Vasa" says hi. I am off to get ready to go to the airport!

 

My 3rd try answering this, 3 Random shut downs already this AM for Me Alone:mad: (My # is up:( , they have been good to me b/4 today);) .

 

OK Ruben, our cabin stewart is Excellent! (I also, Addl pre-Tipped him on Day 3, To-Insure-Proper Sevice)(never the 1st 2 days, they got to get up to speed first:D )

Not a single issue in our Cabin C727 Yet;). He has given us all we have asked & More . cut............ Bill

Hi Bill:

Do they have the new setup for the digital media card readers in the internet cafe? If yes, can you use this to upload to website for storing photos? Saw on the email from Princess where they talked about emailing but don't remember if they wrote about if you can upload to a website.

 

Thanks

Julia

 

Julia,

Hi Bill. . .Not good news on the A/C issue. I'm with you, can't stand hot humid weather. I was born in the desert (hot but not humid) and lived in Southern Calif in the San Fernando Valley for many years (hot and sometimes humid) and now live on the coast in No Calif (humid, but don't notice it 'cause it's never really hot). I do miss the balmy evenings though.

Now that Tony has cranked up is Live From again, I feel like I'm playing Ping Pong going back and forth from your's to his. Good thing you are both cruising a lot to keep us entertained.:D

Went to the Auction 10 minutes late, not very crowded, found a seat right in Front;). Had A Guiness, Excellent!:D There were some that went between $1,350 & 1,950, & an Original Oil, by a New Artist for $2,450? I was thinking of aquirring another PINO, I love his work, & "LOVE"
caught my eye this trip.(The "Painting" that is:D ) so I had him put it out, along with four others of Pino & thought about it:confused: Well, I bid(Bought it),
asked if price was firm(Privately b/4, Yes, However, I am getting a Free Hardbound book of Pino's works, a nice bonus!;) Later [B][I][U]Live From the Coral[/U][/I][/B] Bill

Interesting. I worked in Kenosha a few years ago. But I'm not a native Wisconsinite.

Bill.. . . congratulations on your new Pino! His paintings are lovely. Those art auctions can be very dangerous but fun. If you think about it could you find out the name of the new artist?
