We were on Norwegian Gem maiden voyage in October 2007 with Pauline's mam and dad. It was her dad's last cruise so after he died in July 2008 we took Pauline's mam back on the Norwegian Gem in remembrance a few months later. They had a lovely chocolate fountain in the buffet.

Please try not to stress. In my case it caused a minor heart attack. I now take a Beta blocker called Bisoprolol and it really takes away all stress and my heart rate is 60 beats per minute. Best wishes. Graham.

@Seasick Sailor Happy birthday to your sister.

Such sad news. Our condolences for all their loved ones. Graham.

+1.

Excellent view Terri. Best wishes for a fabulous cruise. Graham.

Thank you so much Sandi for your excellent work in posting the fleet reports,daily and the care lists during Roy and Rich's absence. We always send birthday, Christmas and sympathy cards. Wave fingers is something Sarah's dad does🤔. The only time I used a typewriter was briefly during my first job working at a travel agents. Today's food sounds interesting as my late grandmother was Italian. Prayers for all on our increasing care list. Take care friends. Graham.

Happy birthday to your Dear daughter.

Costa Maya.

A short walk from the ship brings you to a lovely shopping area with a pool and sunbeds in the centre. Swimming with the dolphins is next to the shopping area in a small pool area.

Take care and rest assured we are all thinking of you and wish you All the best. Regards Graham.

Excellent collection of photos Lenda. Graham

Prayers 🙏 your okay after your fall and your iPad turns up. Thank you for your report on the Disney ship. Graham.

I hope the weather is lovely for you on Friday/Saturday for your sail away Sandi. Extra wishes for you both to have a fantastic cruise. Graham.

Good luck Joy.

Looks amazing.

A tour to Brugge is well worth it but you get dropped off about 800 metres away from the centre. Our P&O and RCL ship shuttles drop us off at the lovely coastal town of Blankenburg. The train station is about 200 metres from the shuttle stop and you can get trains to Brugge etc. Graham.

It is delicious soup but I understand it will not be to everyone's taste and in Speciality it is only one of several starters to choose from. There have been cutbacks on P&O but they still offer a good product imo.

Thank you Sandi @StLouisCruisers for looking after the daily and posting all the lists in Roy and Rich's absence. Super photos of Brugge. We have been to Zeebrugge many times on cruises and often just get the ships shuttle to the nice town of Blankenburg. Interesting days and food today. Prayers 🙏 for everyone on the care list and condolences to those who have recently lost loved ones. Take care everyone. Graham x

Wild mushroom soup.

I'm sorry to hear of your dear Aunts passing. Condolences to all that loved her. Graham

Always top notch service in speciality restaurants on P&O and RCL Andy. Freedom and My time dining not so good.

Our prayers 🙏 for successful heart results and a return to cruising Kalos. Best wishes mate. Graham

Dinner last night.
