And the famous Kümmelweck sandwich for lunch and now a nap 💤

Good Morning from Roatan, Today we are enjoying a day on a mostly empty ship. Not a lot to update and I apologize for that I'm just. Last week the group split into four. DW stayed not ship with DD. SIL and GD#3 went horseback riding and beach break, GD#1 and GS did an ATV and beach break and I went to Maya Key. Maya Key is a great, great beach day. It is very uncrowded, offers a nice lunch and drinks are reasonably priced.

Thanks Helen, you folks are treasures

Oh my word! What a story. Hank’s for sharing. You’ll make my daughter feel better when I retell that story.

I’m on Harmony right now. Embarkation was a breeze. We’re on the second half of a back to back. I’ll let you know what debarkation is like on Sunday. Anything like embarkation I’m expecting it to be a piece of cake.

Great post @HBE4 I have more stuff than I know what to do with. I cherish the memories of family and friends. There’s no comparison.

when I was on oasis they replenished them every day.

back in the solarium it is 3:45 in the afternoon. It’s a beautiful sunny day and this place is weirdly deserted.

6600 people and at 345 in the afternoon tones of seating available in the solarium

I’m currently on Harmony. 6600 people aboard. Only 2500 have gold status or above. That means 4100 first time cruisers on this ship. Maybe take away a little for first timers from other lines. Still lots of noobs driving the prices

Good lunch at Jaimie’s. Sorry I forgot take a pic of the dessert. Of course I stupidly booked our lunch at Jamie’s when it’s Italian night in the MDR. Nobody has ever accused me of being smart or organized.

No problem on multiple devices.

I appreciate you doing that for me. 😀 I don’t think anymore icon are in the cards for a few years though… I booked icon the day she came out and got a D4 balcony for 2650 for two since then I have decent prices on 3 oasis of the seas. One immediately after I get off icon and another 2 B2B a year later. I know prices on some things seem high right now, but I really think if people are flexible. There are still some decent deals to be found out there.

Yeah me continuing on the ship was a bit of a spoiler. 🤣

Thanks, sorry about Jim’s emergency. My daughter has also had that gall bladder surgery as well. She asked her doctor yesterday how many more surgeries until the next one is free.

Thank you

Thanks it’ll be great meeting you.

I will only make pin if Royal allows me to forward my points to my reincarnated self.

I think everyone should quit booking so I can book more for less. I appreciate the sacrifice you will make on my behalf. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

Lots of seating in the Solarium and the bartenders are great. This will be my home this week I suspect. Miami Vice

So today is day three. Last week day 3 began with with DD going for a follow up at medical. They wanted to give her another dose of antibiotics. So DD and SIL went down to medical again while everyone else foraged for breakfast. While eating breakfast, the captain comes on the tanoy and announces we are diverting to Cozumel for an emergency medical evacuation. Of course we are all panicking. We’re texting and calling them trying to find out what’s happening. Of course for some strange reason our texts and calls go unresponded. I try to reassure my wife if something had gone wrong we’d have heard something but she is inconsolable. About a half hour later we finally get a response. Ship being diverted had nothing to do with DD all is fine. They removed the pic line and going forward all meds are being given orally. To put an end to the story of DD health. She remained ok through out the cruise taking the pain meds they gave. She moved around slowly and was uncomfortable but was able to enjoy the rest of the cruise. As final note on this. She phone her physician on Monday morning and they said to just go to emergency. At emergency they did a bunch of tests… CT scans, ultrasounds etc. and have determined something called torsion to do with a cyst on one of her ovary. Surgery is scheduled for Thursday GD #1’s wedding is a week and two days after that. I have been told that the day after we get back I have no life and going to do everything I’m told to pull this event off. 🤪 Top Tier events was today and confirmed my suspicions. There are a lot few higher tier passenger this week than last. Last week This week last week I had the privilege of hanging out several times with @FromSea2ShiningSea and @bmblob Marty and Helen are a great couple and were treat to spend time with. My whole family commented on what great folks they are. I just wish this had been a bit more of a normal week and we could have spent more time together. We’ve got Jamie’s scheduled for lunch. I hope I’ll still fit into my new custom tailored suit for the wedding. 😫

No idea. I’m assuming they have different shift times. Or perhaps he was dealing with a different medical emergency. There were a few happening simultaneously apparently.

Current state of affairs. Pub guitarist is just setting up. This’ll be my home for the next hour.

Just had my best session in the casino. Laid down $500 stake (my max loss for a cruise.) and walked after an hour of black jack up $510. That’ll put a down payment on last weeks medical bills. 😂
