Maybe there was an issue with the safe.

MDR and Windjammer are 2 separate places. Windjammer is the buffet , no menu, just grab a plate and choose what you want to eat. MDR is main dining room where you are served by a waiter from a menu,

We're booked on Adventure for 4 weeks starting on October 7th. That will include the 7th 14th 21st and 28th.

But think of all of the ads you get to see.

I posted my reply based on my experience while I lived in Ct , and had more than a dozen cruises out of Bayonne on Explorer in the winter time, some doing the 7 day cruise like Oasis is now doing. Also had 2 Trans Atlantic cruises that ended in Manhattan. BTW, when Explorer left for Fl, so did I.

It might be better to look at the ports. Oasis class does the 7 day trips to PC, Coco Cay, and Nassau. More Caribbean ports from PC. Other cruises from NJ do Bermuda. Just look for something you want to do.

When I moved to Ct from Pa in 1965, my route took me over the GW bridge into the city. It was easy to get into the city, but not out of the city. I decided the reason so many lived there was the gave up and stayed, rather than leave. But this farm boy from Pa just kept going east till I escaped. Afterward, I pulled out my trusty ESSO road maps, and found that the Tappan Zee bridge was my answer. And that's what I did for the next 11 years till I got transferred to FL. Years later, when I got moved back to Ct., and we started to cruise from Bayonne, DW found that Royal had a bus service from around the North east that served yo cruise port. My first ride on that bus, I sat close to the driver, and as he was inching across the GW bridge into NJ, I decided I had made the right decision , probably close to 40 years before. By the time I got transferred back to Ct in 1999, more interstates were completed and we could get most of the way home in Interstate highways, now over the Newburgh bridge. By the way , my final trip across the Tappan Zee, by 1976 , NY was only charging for east bound crossings, not west bound, so I gave the middle finger salute to NY, cause I wasn't coming back.

Was that on the Vision class? I wonder if they have as many of the two tops as the newer ships.

We are on a 7 day western on Adventure, who recently started sailings of FLL, This Captain seems to like the ship port calls to have ship time the same as port time, Night 1, clocks drop 1 hour, since no DST in the ports, second night another to get to CST, for Roatan and Belize. tonight , add one hour for EST in Cozumel, then a sea day to get back to EDT, for or final call at Coco Cay, for seventh day,

The problem I have run into not checking in for the second cruise is the account info not carrying over for the second cruise. I would get notified I was on a cash account and I need to go to GS with cash or a CC.

Taxes were my primary reason for wanting to leave Ct. Well , that and DW wanting to come back here.

desert vs dessert. One measly s

I talked to C&A about getting my Pinnacle pins and stuff. He said he would submit a request for them and they should arrive in 30 to 60 days. I told him that is what the LA said back in November. I guess we know how that works.

We'll have to see what happens when I get there.

I cannot imagine a video of the cars racing on a parking lot of a football stadium in Miami will qualify as a stunning location.

When we started cruising on a regular basis 20 years ago, we did a cruise on Celebrity to the Panama Canal, and other ports in the area. On the way back, we decided to do a TA We liked it so much , we did a yearly west bound crossing. DW found some of her fellow nurses took a winter cruise, on RCCL. As a result, she has more cruise points than I do. We turned Pin based on her points. And we just booked her free cruise in October with that voucher. Meanwhile, I am also getting close to 700 myself, and we will get another free cruise when I hit 700. I didn't expect that. We will get on a 7day casino comp on Adventure this Saturday.

I have experience with Port Everglades (FLL) and Miami. I would guess you are going to Bayonne, never been in the new terminal there. Prior to the cruise, I called Crown and Anchor , and requested wheelchair assistance. Anybody who answers the main number should be able to direct you call to the correct person. When arriving at the pier, let them know that you have requested assistance, and you get sent to the place the wheelchairs will be available. A port worker will push the chair and your party will accompany him (or her) They bypass all of the lines, usually going through the suite security and check in, and off to the ramp, at which point a crew member will come and you will all board the ship. At guest services , you can inquire about the debark process, which generally involves a location where all of the wheelchairs will be located and they will coordinate the process.

On another note, I just read that ElAl will begin service to Ft Lauderdale later this year.

That's the way it works. I was the only son. I left to become a mechanical engineer, my dad sold the farm and became a stock broker. Best move I could have made.

You have farm land, don't you. Owen must have been driving something out there. I grew up on a dairy farm in Pa. First time I drove, my dad picked me up, put me on the tractor seat, told me not to run over the hay bales, put the tractor into first gear, let go of the clutch. I still remember. Didn't run over hay bales. Couldn't stop because I wasn't big enough to push the clutch pedal down. By the time I was 16, I had been driving farm equipment on public highways for years. The biggest lesson was hauling a wagon load of hay down a hill, amid the load is more than the tractor can handle amid the tractor starts to slide, and you have to figure out how to stop it, without dumping the load of hay on the ground. which of course I would have to wools have to do by myself. Never had to do this.

It's like a deck of playing cards. King always beats a Queen. So if the Queen is the head, hubby cannot be a king.

Take it only if you want to lug it around the rest of your trip.

I have seen the same thing, also in Nassau.

We bought some in Barcelona years ago, and I know it was different than what we get here. Funny thing about medicine in Europe, everything is dispensed by a pharmacist. There are no OTC at all in stores. Even aspirin , you have to ask, and they did not give us much.

In 2019, we did our only east bound TA on Brilliance , Tampa to Amsterdam. Then , flew back from AMS to ATL to TPA. Took us a few days before we drove home to the east coast of Fl. Of course, we had to visit the grandkids.
