  1. When we started cruising o a regular basis, we were on Celebrity and did several TA's. Then we switched to Royal, Navigator, and I was blown away. The Royal Promenade is awesome, and I loved it. WJ showed how much larger that the Millennium class since you could actually how wide the ship was. Then DW booked us on Carnival cruise Perfect way to compare. Brand new ship , the Dream. TA from Rome to NY. My first thought was this is the best Carnival can come up with. Most forgettable ship I had ever been on. Only thing I really remember is not liking the balcony door, it was hinged rather than a slider and I thought that you could lose fingers. Never considered Carnival after that.
  2. I thought all ships doing Alaska go to Vancouver, either as a port call or departure port,
  3. She didn't say if she even had a headache. When she gets back to the DR, she will probably try to get him to adjust her BP meds. She is an RN and knowing her, she might just do it herself.
  4. On YouTube Chris Wong , a casino host on Ovation, did a bunch of videos in the ports while he was working there. Gives you an idea of the weather and activities that the crew does, along with the weather variables you might encounter.
  5. We now have a new electric range. About a week ago, DW was in the kitchen preparing dinner, when I heard a boom. Ran into the kitchen. and she was laying on the floor unconscious, and there was what looked like ice all around. as I got closer, that isn't ice, it is glass. her head had hit the front of the range and the tempered glass on the oven door exploded, glass everywhere. I was calling 911 just she started to wake up. Best guess was that her BP had been a bit low, which our PCP did not think was bad. They took her to the ER, since she had a cut on the back of her head. They wanted to keep her over night, she did not want to stay, so she came home. She is OK now. I guess we needed a new range. You probably don't remember, but a couple of years ago, our dishwasher started leaking. She wanted a white dishwasher, so that is what we ordered. That was around Thanksgiving. Come Easter it had still not been able to get one, so in frustration, she said we get whatever. they had a stainless steel in stock, so that is what we got. Here we go again, Not this time. What do you have in stock. Took a picture and showed DW. She said looks good. Mostly black with stainless steel trim. Bought it on Friday, it will delivered om Monday, and it was. WE have heard a lot of people rave about an air fryer. That got her interest. Now we have one. .
  6. You don't actually believe they are actually making a profit now?
  7. here you go. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2741933-to-add-some-humour/
  8. We got to 700 C&A points in November. Today FedEx delivered a plain black envelope with our Pinnacle pins.
  9. There was a recent thread on CC about a young fellow who turned Pinnacle based on his on sailing. I don't recall his age, but I'm sure someone else will recall.
  10. Think of the money Allure will make. Short trip, 2 calls a week at Coco Cay. Cannot imagine much market for a B2B , PC, Nassau, Coco Cay, and for the 4 day, a sea day.
  11. which means 2 calls a week at Coco Cay. $$$$
  12. But they add a lot of capacity and command big bucks when they start sailing. And they will have to go back and address the market that Radiance and Vision classes serve.
  13. My phone flags spam calls. Out of area calls do not get answered. If it is legit, they will leave a message. I still have a Ct area code, I get a lot of calls showing that area code, and I have a lot of those blocked.
  14. I just got an email saying I bought something and was charged on my Paypal account. I tried to call to cancel, and got suspicious and hung up when I was told to goto a website that presented a .exe file they wanted me to execute. Called Paypal and when I described the email, they knew the phone number as a fraud, and there was no charge on my card.
  15. Odyssey is a derivative of the Quantum class with some differences. Anthem is the only one sailing in the Atlantic, and the big differences, as I understand since I have never been on Anthem, are changes for warm weather cruising. including more pool spaces outdoor. I believe the MDR was originally designed for the dynamic dining concept , which never really worked out. That has been discarded to have a similar layout to other ships. I understand other ships like the Anthem. are Ovation and the original Quantum are sailing Alaska now.
