Dithering is such an excellent word! On a different note, I have often enjoyed reading your postings and am deeply sorry for your loss. I'm glad you are planning a trip. Living is a beautiful way to honor those we love.

I just started packing for a 10 day cruise this Thursday. The first go-round I have: 3 pairs of jeans, 3 pairs of shorts, 1 long black dress, 2 pairs of black pants, 2 pair of white, 9 various tops for daytime 473 tops for the evening Seems reasonable!

There are times I would love to have the 😲 option when I can't believe someone responds so rudely.

They look like hats from Harry Potter, perhaps the the sorting hat?

I am so deeply sorry. Sending prayers for comfort and for strength in navigating the season that awaits.

I can but I don’t see a breakdown between TA obc and CC obc. Because there are three of us, it’s a bit muddled. I’ll have copies of everything and I’m sure it will be sorted out on board.

Thank you @Jim_Iain What’s odd that I was able to find it before some additional obc was added..unless I was a having a very vivid and strangely specific dream! 🤷‍♀️

Thank you...there are three different passenger accounts in the same cabin which makes it a bit confusing. I know the amount we were given by our TA. To clarify my question, is there a place online where we can view the breakdown rather than the total amount?

Hello! My mother, sister, and I are sailing on 5/25. Our TA gave us a generous amount of room credit. In addition, we each have some individual obc from our credit cards. At one point, I was able to see the breakdown but now it is no where to be be found. Captain's club was unable to help me. Does anyone have any idea where this info is located? It's something I would like to have a copy of prior to boarding. Thank you for any help you can give!

Next month, 5/25.

So excited to hear about it...we are in the same!. Wishing you a fabulous voyage!

"Next rule you could not feed your dog for 2 days prior to class so they were anxious for the reward and would not fill up before the class was over." @Jim_Iain I am curious... typo? What I have learned from my anxious 13 year old dog (who is on *****), is that what humans might mistake for aggression is actually anxiety from animals that don't have the language skills to express what makes them fearful. Yours was a very blessed pup. And you had the honor to be there for the crossing over... how loved Luke must have felt to the very last.

Please excuse me if you've already shared this, but sort of cabin will you be sailing in? I adore the Summit... Can't wait to board her in a month's time!

While we’re asking, does anyone know who the Luminae Maître d is? Thanks!

Following because I will be next month.

Any suggestions, please pass on! We will be foregoing Danali and hope for another opportunity.

Perhaps they are also reading your blog.

That is the plan. We’ve booked a southbound sailing and will fly out a week prior to do our own thing. The folks on this board have been so helpful. Thank you!

A knocked over glass is, most likely, accidental. Neglectful service is, most likely, not. Whether or not you are heartless is not something I would surmise by an interaction on a forum such as this, any more than it should be surmised that, just because I believe in tipping those who serve passengers, I think they are subsisting on bread and water. We have choices. You do you and I wish you well as you do it. Life is hard enough without kindness.

Certainly, one does have a choice and can choose not to tip those who make their living providing services to others. Personally, it's not one I would make but, again, it is a choice.

I'm a bit confused...why should the hard working crew be penalized? They do not make the policy.

It sounds like you made so many precious memories. As a boy mom (and both are quite grown now) it is the absolute best. Thank you for sharing your cruise!

My sympathy is for us because we have to wait MONTHS before we can read about a next adventure with Charla!

The necklace is absolutely fabulous and concerning the prosciutto, it's practically a diet food! Proof: "One serving of prosciutto is 1 ounce (about two slices). Calories : 60 Total fat : 3.5 g Saturated fat : 1.5 g Cholesterol : 19.9 mg Sodium : 520 mg Total carbs : 0 g Dietary fiber : 0 g Sugar : 0 g Protein : 7 g" Enjoy that salty, healthy goodness with the knowledge that, calorically, it's practically a carrot stick.

Between you and @GenerationX you are allowing me to live vicariously until I board the Summit next month! Wishing you and Iain a fabulous voyage.
