Lets hope we all will be healthy enough to make this cruise. Been waiting too long for this.

If we get there by the 14th, we'll be there for 3 weeks, so yes.

I can see much more clearly now.

I did get confused for a bit, had to call time out. but all is well now, definitely not sailing on 10/07. Just had to be sure. Thanks for your help. Please cancel.

Apparently it is too soon to tell for sure.

My cancer treatments are now complete. Currently still not eating since my throat is still swollen shut, but that seems to going down quickly, I actually had some pudding by mouth this morning. And I actually able to talk a little. My goal now to is to eat a complete meal by mouth. And get rid of the feeding tube in my stomach. Sailing on 10/14 now is looking doable. Which is also my 80th birthday.

Funny you should say that. My first RC cruise was on Navigator, and I loved the size, having experienced a number of smaller ships. At the time, it was the largest. And I said , nothing smaller. We went on a quick Radiance cruise, and I really didn't care for it, and I said never again. And we have been on most of the newer ships. Then we started looking at some longer sailings, on Radiance class ships, and we went and had a great time. Best was a TPA to AMS on Brilliance . Eastbound TA was a great trip. Vision class was still not on our radar. Then DW went to the casino, and came back with a voucher for a free cruise on Grandeur. What the hell, lets give it a try. Graet time. We will be back, have it booked next year. We are paying for this one.

i Have never ever heard an elevator from any stateroom on any RC ship. And yes, 7311 is a promenade view room, and there is a hallway separating you from the elevator bank. I would call that a good spot.

Yesterday marked the last Chemo treatment that was scheduled. The radiation treatment is 35 treatments, 5 days a week. The first 25 are full treatments, based on a cat scan of the affected area, Those 25 have been completed, along with a new cat scan to determine how the last 10 treatments will be handled. The tumor has pretty much disappeared, but I am having considerable difficulty swallowing, so primary nutrition is by feeding tube. I have had minimal weight loss, so the feeding tube is working. Still shooting for a sail date of Oct 7. I have never mentioned this before, but my favorite Pinnacle benefit is breakfast in Chops. Don't usually eat breakfast at home, but just to walk in, have a waiter at your table to bring some French Toast, sausage, potatoes , some bacon. And a glass of iced tea. Yumm. did not have to fix it, or clean up after

You should get a good wifi signal there also,

weren't you just in Marrakech? Nasty little earthquake they had.

Deck 8, aft elevators. Good Wifi spot also.

Unless it is a military ship, or a private yacht, I would say never.

Better than having the emergency alarm go off BY MISTAKE in the middle of the night.

I used to read a lot. Leon Uris and James Michener have written some very interesting historical novels. Trinity and Chesapeake are two that come to mind.

There is one that advertises a lot on TV, and I am sure there are many more, but you never heard any thing about them around the 1980's when I was thinking about them. And being an engineer, I would probably want my own to tinker with it.

The forecast I looked at was NWS. I just looked at the local forecast the show the spaghetti plots, and all models predict a turn to the North well off the Fl coast. They seem very certain of the turn.

The forecasts are getting better , but not that much better.

Obviously, we will keep an eye on Lee. Normally, we would go to the Gkids on the west coast if we are in the target. (and they come here if they are), but with the cancer treatment schedule, we should rethink that.

When I was between wives , I got the bug to buy a boat, but I didn't have a place to store, nor a vehicle to tow it. Yhere was the option to use a storage facility that offered in/out service, but I didn't find that attractive. Never got one, but it looked like it might be fun.

In part, I imagine to the value they added to the initial $155000 the paid for the wreck.

I am subscribed, and watch the last few chapters, I was impressed with the rigging inspection , where the inspector point to a component, so he postponed the sailing to fix it, Like the philosophy,

I have watched this channel, pretty much bing-watched the first year , till the put the boat in dry dock to complete the restoration. As an engineer I was impressed with his approach to the project down to spread sheets detailingwhat we need to do, and like to do but cannot afford. They got to a point where they needed more money, and were going to stop working on the boat to go do work the get paid for doing. At that point, the joind the Patreon program, which allows people to become patrons of the channel. I then skipped forward to the segment where the boat took a lightening strike. As he analyzed what needed to be replaced, When Colin said he was going to put his Amazon order. That set the tone where financially they had come.

I wonder if, out of curiosity, you went back and looked closer to sailing date, if you could get an earlier time.
