I’m hoping for that as well. Once I switch to Medicare, it will not be covered.

Yes, it is expensive. I’m lucky as my insurance covers it. However, I understand that there are coupons available through the manufacturers.

We really enjoyed Dora the Explorer. There is one area near the fort where the vendors are on the aggressive side just so you’re aware.

Trying to get caught up on this thread. You guys are quick! So sorry to those who have recently lost their pets. It really is like they are family. @jagsfan So cool about your friend Ginny. Happiest of birthdays to her. @brillohead Debbie, have you thought about looking into some of the new drugs that are on the market for weight loss? I've been able to drop about 40lbs in about 6 months. Still a long way to go, but I feel like I've gotten a jump start. @Arzeena Have a wonderful cruise. It was a year ago this week that we met you on Anthem. Looking forward to seeing you again on the Bella cruise if not sooner. @Sea Dog So glad your knee is improving. Sounds like you're doing great with it. Good luck to the Chiefs tonight. Here in Detroit, we are all beside ourselves with our 8 - 2 record. I don't think Doug was even born yet the last time we were 8-2. 😄 To those who I may have missed on this post, I hope you are all safe and well.

I think mine was the same one. It plugged into the cigarette lighter in the car.

Will we be able to use our D+ BOGO?

She is adorable.

Verry cool! Congrats to your team. Where are you staying in Detroit?

So sorry. 😢

Busy day volunteering here. Just got home from spending most of the day at our local Fraternal Order of Eagles. Every year they do a big Thanksgiving luncheon for the local seniors in our community. I think we did about 150 lunches today. Bonus: I got to bring home some leftovers for dinner tonight. Yay! No Cooking today!

So sorry to read this.

That sounds very cool!

Have a wonderful time! (52 days until our next one).

Looks like there are still some rumors floating around about the "Discovery Class" of ships. Royal Caribbean Captain talks about new smaller cruise ship plans | Royal Caribbean Blog

Hope all is well with you. I have my check up on Thursday. How the heck did we end up on page 2? 😄

Sending prayers for your grand dog. It’s amazing how attached we become to them.

Went out this morning to head over to the local Lands' End store. Trying to find shorts in Michigan in November is pretty much impossible. I need some new shorts for our January cruise, and I ended up finding some on clearance on the Lands' End website. If you order at the store, there are no shipping charges. Went in and placed my order. I came out to go to my car, and for some reason I can't get the door unlocked or to open. (It's a keyless entry door). A lady then comes up behind me and says, "I think that's my car". Sure enough, she had the same exact car as mine. I was parked two spaces down. At least we both laughed about it. I need to pay closer attention. 😄

@dani negreanu My heart breaks for all of you there. Praying you all stay safe. @taznremmy Pat, Sorry this happened. Hopefully you are doing better.

Thanks for the video. The ship looks beautiful. Splendour of the Seas was our first cruise.

Yes, lunch sale price was good on our cruise. We typically don't do specialty lunch either but decided to buy lunch at Giovani's one day.

Hi Bonnie, The machines do have Caffeine Free Diet Coke. I don't believe you both have to buy the soda package. As far as the dining packages, we don't typically buy them. We do however use our Diamond Plus BOGO benefit for specialty dining. We mostly eat in the MDR however, we do occasionally have dinner in the Windjammer, which can be a bit more relaxed.

Was planning to buy dinner at Chops and Giovani's for our upcoming cruise in January. Thought I would wait for the big Black Friday sale. Yesterday the price for Chops was $49.99 per person. With the Black Friday sale, the price is $49.99 per person. Giovani's was $39.99 per person. With the sale, the price is $39.99 per person. Hmmm...

Had my gall bladder removed several years ago. (Before the days of laparoscopy). Nowadays it's a fairly easy procedure. She will feel so much better once it's done. I've never had any issues in all these years. Hope you're both feel better soon. Good Luck to Owen!

Pat, Hope you have a wonderful cruise and a great time with your family.

Enjoy your cruise. We're doing 13 day Southern on Vision the beginning of January. Would love to hear any updates on the ship and who the cruise director might be then.
