Here is a picture my wife took from the Burj Khalifa in Dubai last December. I count at least 3 cruise ships docked in the harbour, but Can't make out which ones. dp

Especially if that's a cooler under the seat... 🤔 Everyone will have one now. 😉 dp

I think it is generally recommended to fill cooking pots from cold water to reduce chances of contaminants, minerals and off flavours that might come from the hot water tank. It might be different if hot water supply is "On Demand" rather than from a hot water tank. dp

@Sea Dog, had you been on the Nicko World Cruise ship... your knees would have been OK I'm guessing 😁. But stomach... perhaps not 😲! In all seriousness, I'm glad you are feeling better. dp

Same here. No Uber in our parts. Used it for first time in several stops during our Baltic cruise. Easy to use and EXTREMELY practical. MCO is only about 45 minutes from PC so cost of Uber should be reasonable. Last time we sailed out of PC, We took the kids on a Disney cruise after a spending a week in Orlando. So I just extended the car rental and made the easy drive over to PC. I can still remember the reaction of the kids in the back seat when we crested the overpass on the A1A approaching the Port, and the ships in port became visible... it all of a sudden became very real for them that we were going on a Disney Cruise... Priceless! That was worth the price of admission right there. dp

uummmm, yeah. You are right. That is what was reported. 🤥 dp

Thank-you @Tree_skier for taking the time to write up, and very skilfully I might add, a great review. I appreciate your insights. I'm taking notes 😉. dp

Sure... but just don't let him steer the ship! 😲 dp

😉

Right there with you... His & hers nightcap for tonight. Cheers

Well. I would argue that having both ☕ 🥃 beats just one 😉 dp

For Bella II... dp

Oh.... and I possibly may have just booked this... But I have not told my wife yet... 🤫🤐 dp

I really hope the RCI bean counters don't read this thread, or else the Beverage package prices are going to be sky high for Bella II. 😲 dp

Duplicate

Well, They are Michelin's... That's top shelf product right there!!! Real pretty 😉 dp

John, after almost a hundred pages of great stories and pictures, I'm sorry to read about your sour misfortune so close to the finish line. In the grand scheme of things, I know it is just a hicup, but I'm sure it feels pretty crappy. (No pun intended) I do hope things feel better soon. dp

🤣 I admit, in the summer, it also keeps the mosquitoes at bay. I think ones palate has to be well worn like the inside of a carpenters hand to enjoy a Negroni 😉

You actually made me look that up. With all the drinking I do, I did not even know this was a thing. Sorry I can't help you though. Then again... that huge list of cocktails that the Bella Cruise had to work with, they did not even have a Negroni on the list 🙃, But that's OK... I got you all covered 😉 Sorry, no orange peel. Apparently, we are out of oranges. 😐 dp

Enjoying all the comments of your wonderful group cruise. I'm out in the trails collecting sap. At least I'm joining you in "spirits" 😜

I think, an alternate name for this cruise could have been: The Drinking Everything Everywhere All at Once Cruise. You even could have had your official Cocktail dp

Has anyone asked John @John&LaLa to unplug his shiny new router? It might be sucking the whole ships wifi 😁. On a more serious note, John, have you had a chance to play around with it? Did you get it working? Sorry if it was already mentioned and I missed it. dp

Fhew!!! Finally made it and caught up. Felt like I was going up the down escalator, but more fun. Will keep following. As a, how did @Sea Dog put it... Functioning Cocktail Enthusiast, I'm taking notes from all your great suggestions and pictures. dp

How can this happen? I don't log on for a few days... come back and this was started and is already at page 43? 😲 Man... Ok. Back to page 1 I go and try to catch up. damn... the pages are adding up faster than I can read! dp

I always consider the DBP basically an investment 🍷
