Even if salt water they use heavy chlorine. I once went in with a Kelly Green Swimsuit and got out with a beige swimsuit with green threads. Worst is on the E-Class when too windy for the high price dinner on the Magic Carpet they move it into to Solarium. Not as strong of a smell but not what I would pay for an upscale meal ambiance.

Maya - surprised your agent isn't on top of this. All they need to do is press a couple keys. If you own at least 100 share of RCL you can also add on the Stockholders Credit $1,000 Onboard Credit per Stateroom on a World Cruise $250 Onboard Credit per Stateroom on Sailings of 14 or more nights. $100 Onboard Credit per Stateroom on Sailings of 6-13 nights. $50 Onboard Credit per Stateroom on Sailings of 5 nights or less.

Believe me that's not the norm. Especially since October they have cut down substantiall the OBC offers . Even Booking while aboard - Current Promotion is Max of $500 for a Suite and as low as $50 for a short inside cruise. And current Promotion is Max of

Good night. really unusual seats. The back of the seat folds down and already made with egg crate mattress, sheets, 2 full size pillows and a duvet also bulkhead have a huge foot area instead of just an angled hole.

Actually 2nd. That was him incognito coming doe the escalator. You reminded. I have one the flight attendant insisted on taking when she set up my bed and tucked me in

Hubbba hubba .... 😗

Huge can mean different to many. Also Huge may be related to accumulation of OBC's from a number of different sources. I can't remember our record but on one cruise right after cruising resumed we had a 1,800 NR OBC Plus $200-300 Stockholders plus we had a problem with TA that stiffed us - the executive office covered her OBC and gave us another $1800 and that was in addition to the RF Credit from our agent. Then to top it off the price of our Suite Dropped $3,500 after final payment (they would match prices up until sailing but as an OBC. I was lucky and was able to pull it off on the Slots at the time. I would come back to the room and do a money dance. On top of that there was a problem with out room and they gave us an OBC as a goodwill gesture.

Ok life’s a Bit€H and then you die. If that isn’t incredible enough - we had the option of pre-ordering in advance by selecting a Chef. After take off we had Dinner around 1o:30 pm California time about 2am Singapore We we chose the specially prepared lobster Started with cocktails (Coffee for me) and a nice selection of warm nuts. Started with a Scallop Salad followed by an incredible Lobster dinner with fingerling potatoes roasted yellow tomato and asparagus For some reason underlie got stuck on. It was incredible. Cooked to perfection. The potato’s and asparagus was so hot you had to let it cool. Desert was a selection of ice cream, cheese, fruit or cake. I got the ice cream

LOL. Now that’s too much of a visual.

Getting there. The service is impeccable and we are addressed by name by every crew member. This may be overkill but first up is a menu like I have ever experienced

I am also. Forgot to say I opened my sealed wish list 10 years later. Iain hit it 100%

Ahh yea. Are you on the corner. We use to walk our dog through that business park at nights. Watched them set that beautiful gym. I often say we are perfect hits for a sniper. I leave every day at 10:30 so cross Central on the opposite side of Mary. Then walk to Maude and turn left. Easy to spot in my bright yellow puffer. If you see me just yell.

Yikes. I was expecting you to say he was a gentleman, stopped your bus and presented it back to you.

Darn. I loved them. Glad you had a wonderful trip. For those that don’t know Henrietta is my girlfriend. In between reunions she serves Dianne and travels the world with her.

We are frequent visitors to Australia but New Zealand is rather new. I’ve only been in the airport. Before the 747 could make it non-stop you had to refuel in HNL or Auckland. I love the itinerary.

Boarding to begin at 9:10. Right on time. Unlike many boarding this was very civilized. The have agents with had signs directing Business Class to one Jetway and the rest to the other. Bye. You can see how how organized the boarding is.

We decided to start adjusting so had an early lunch

Next stop the Lounge. Singapore doesn't have a dedicated lounge so use United Polaris Lounge. Really been enhanced since last time we were there.

LOL. I’m not going to post visual of @Ipeeinthepools I use to have the Moniker of Troy. - a nickname in college. Actually Troy was my evil Twin. Some still believe he existed.

So much for the crowds. We were checked in quickly. The friendliness and efficiency of Singapore Staff in incredible.

We usually have a light breakfast of toast and tea or coffee At 8:00 it was time to head out. We were a little concerned as the news was warning of delays at SFO due to Thanksgiving travelers. I did my regular comparison of Uber and Lyft. Lyft won out. I chose the 4:00 minute option and the car was there in 2 minutes. You can see by the cluster that plenty of cars were available. I prefer to give Lyft and up the tip that goes directly to the driver.

I'f I missed anyone, I apologize, but If I don't get started on 11/20 I may never get there. I really do read every comment and really feel a need to acknowledge each. So here we go - Our flight today is a 9:40 AM. We set our Alarms for 6:00am. All the packing was done and siting by the front door.

Hotels- Booking a hotel was quick and easy. Last time we cruised out of Singapore, we stated at Pan Pacific Executive Suites – Beach Road. We loved it so much that I just waited until their booking window opened and then booked. All of their units are like an Apartment, including a kitchen, washer and dryer etc, but they also have a free breakfast each morning. Beach Road is on the outskirts of Singapore and out of the hustle and bustle of Orchard District. There is a MRT Station about 750 feet away. Beach Road is also right on the edge of the Arab and Indian Districts. I’m sure that many love being at the big Hotel Chains in the middle of the shopping district but we prefer something more relaxed. We found that the MRT is one of the best transit systems in the world and getting around is rally easy, inexpensive and safe.

I am - I got carried away on that last post. It still hits me hard on the anniversary of JR's death. I'm eventually going to get up and start posting the update. I definitely should have started this a couple days ago. Progress report - We are somewhere out over the Pacific - Due to some storms we are rally taking a southerly route but will be getting in an hour early.
