@Cruising-along. Happy birthday to your DH Henry.

Good afternoon. It is raining here and 6°C. We had a lovely church service today. Thank you for today's daily reports Rich @richwmn and excellent list collection Vanessa @JazzyV. 3 good days and quite today. Today's food sounds delicious. I hope everyone is safe and well and prayers 🙏 for those who are not well. Best wishes for a nice day for everyone.

Some thoughts on the Second Sunday of Advent. Hope you have a lovely day today. God bless, David 😀 https://youtu.be/X5f9yAJ7DkQ?si=dbwk2MP5H7DAUSn_

Nice photos Ann. Madeira is known as the Garden Island and flowers bloom all year around. It also has many Top Class hotels.

I agree it should be first come first served. Previously after dinner we had gone to the theatre 15-30 minutes before the show started. On Royal Caribbean there are sections of the theatre cordoned off for Suite passengers and high loyalty members. Crew keep a watch on this area and 5 minutes before the show starts they might let other passengers in this area if there are spare seats.

Thank you Vanessa @JazzyV. Pleased to hear you got more sleep last night.

Nice photos.

Thank you for an Interesting collection of photos of the island.

Nice collection of photos Lenda.

Wishing you all the best Dave and hopefully the tests are good news for you. It might be worth asking your TA or P&O if they could transfer your booking to a later date.

Thank you Nancy. I'm pleased to hear John's shingles is being controlled. Pauline and I both at different times had shingles and the early viral medication really helped us both.

Thank you Terri. I have had arthritis for 15+ years and used to control pain effectively with high dose Ibuprofen or Naproxen. Since my heart attack 4 years ago I am not allowed antiinflammatory medication because it will affect my heart medication so exercise and paracetamol or joint replacements are my only options now.

Good luck with your medical appointments Terri. I hope you get good results from all of your tests and check ups. Best wishes. Graham.

Dave. Can your travel insurance cover you for everything else but not for the issue you are waiting for an answer to. Surely if we are covered and paid big premiums for our medical issues the insurance companies need to be a little flexible. I wonder how many people don't get things checked at their doctor's for fear of what you are experiencing. Good luck Dave.

Thank you Rich for today's daily reports and Vanessa for your superb list keeping. Pauline writes all of our Christmas cards out and I post them. I will be interested in today's food from Debbie. We have been to Madeira many times and were there on November 19th on P&O Iona and saw the old Rotterdam in her new name Fred Olsen Borealis. I hope everyone is safe and well.

Sounds amazing Pat. I will be following along. I hope you both have an amazing cruise.

Yes. My Aunt received our Christmas parcel at 7.30pm last night from Royal mail. I posted it 2nd class on Wednesday at my local post office.

Good morning. It is 7°C and raining here. Yesterday we got Christmas wreaths and flowers and took them to the cemetery where Pauline put them on her grandparents grave and also on her baby brothers grave. Hopefully today we will have a pyjama day. Currently watching Judge Judy on TV. I hope everyone is well especially some of our regulars @SarahHben @emam who have not posted for a while. Nice to see some nice cruise photos from@Purdey16 and @9265359. Nice Christmas decorations @kalos.

Good morning. It is 7°C and raining here at 09.56am. We took Christmas wreaths and flowers to the cemetery yesterday and Pauline tidied up her grandparents grave and also her baby brothers grave. Today hopefully we will have a pyjama day. Prayers 🙏 for the safety of everyone on here especially Dani @dani negreanu. I hope everyone has a wonderful day.
