And you guys seem to have raised one of those. 🙂👍🏼

I agree. Lots of great kids out there still. I know some of their parents. 🙂 The best parents I know are present, take responsibility, and have raised some pretty great kids during a time when so many have abdicated parenting. Like every generation, all get lumped together and judged by the worst behaved. 🙂

I’m sorry this has happened. Try to maximize the benefits at the airport. When you check in, request wheelchair service. Shorter security lines, and a place for you to sit while there. I hope it feels better soon. I have a bum knee that acts up too, so can commiserate.

Southern Cajuns know the difference. We have crab traps/pots ourselves. Many of us would call the pot y’all cook them in a gumbo pot no matter what is cooking. 😁 As in, “Grab the gumbo pot, Boudreaux! We have a mess of crabs to boil!”

My first thought. 🙄

I'm sorry you had such a bad experience. I agree with those who have said that we can all have a 'not so great' cruise. I've experienced those before. It hasn't kept me from cruising because I've had some bad land vacations as well, and love cruising. I also tend to see the glass half full most of the time, and shrug off the poor experiences I am able to, deal with the rest. We personally won't sail anything less than 7 nights because a shorter cruise has a completely different feel to it. And we just aren't ready to exit after a few nights. Also, that was a whopping amount you were willing to pay for the cruise. There are bargains out there, and this wasn't one. I suggest planning further out if you want better pricing. Hope your next vacation is a better experience, and you both feel better soon.

No more than a week out when we have sailed. Usually 6-7 days out.

Just think, your liver is well rested for the St Patrick's Day festivities ahead! You will be leading the pack tonight! 😁

I don't like the gravy either, and I get mine every time without it. So, yes, you can order without. 🙂 Great to see you here @firefly333. Hope you are doing well.

I don't know why the ships have wifi systems if they aren't going to periodically reboot them. All wifi systems have issues, and yet RCI seems to only do a reboot (or reset as they call it 🙄) when they have to start refunding money. Sigh.

Sure it was. 🙃

You could zipline that!

Smart decision. 😁 Sounds similar to the Skylab Fallout drink I had at Pat O'Brien's back when I was in my 20s and out with friends. 🙂 It had Blue Curacao, Everclear, Gin, 151 Rum, Tequila, Vodka and a spray of Pineapple juice. I drank three and let's just say that I didn't consume alcohol again until months later. Not sick, but closest thing to blackout drunk I've ever been. Anyone want the recipe to try, I have it. I save it for the 'memories'. 🤣

We will email John after the cruise is over for the 'mutual friend' info. 🙂 Hoping we all get to meet in 2025....hopefully we will run into some of you sooner on a cruise. We have several booked next year.

That’s very possible. 🙂 Some people aren’t very good with social cues, and this could be his first contract. Some lessons are learned over time. If the situation makes you feel uncomfortable and you don’t want to speak up, there is nothing wrong with moving to a different server.

Thanks, John. I was getting concerned about her too.

That looks like liquid cotton candy. 😁 I betcha that is good and sweet.

I knew you couldn't stay silent forever on the topic! 🤣

OB wants a kiddie sand-pail sized cup. 😁

Everyone has bad days, and can have bad attitudes, but this dude owes you an apology. I avoid confrontation like the plague, but I personally would have asked to be moved to another server after that meal. I think it is an excellent idea to mention him in the survey. If he treated you that way, he has probably treated others the same. I'm really sorry this happened to you.

My blood sugar spiked just reading that recipe. 😂

When the cruise is over, I suggest emailing John. He has his email in his siggy, if you expand that to see it. He can provide the details that way without playing Monopoly on CC. 🙂

It can be made with pistachio liqueur, but that is not necessary if they use the alternate recipe. Some bartenders don't know all the recipes for all the drinks. I carry my phone so I can whip it out if someone looks confused when asking for a particular drink. 😁

You snooze you lose. 🙂 Going to have to spend more time at Schooner Bar in May on Harmony. We were the "first shift" at the Martini Bar on Celebrity when we last sailed Celebrity. Second shift took over when we headed off to dinner. lol

My favorite at sea! 😁 Glad you like it.
