Nope, not checked in at all yet. The 14-nights are all under one reservation, so we only check in once. I guess I'll be on that tomorrow!

Today is check-in day for our 9/21 sailing.

I guess I should check us in too!

isn't your DH the one that makes the cars?  If so, maybe he can use a driver…. EM

I shall share this with him and see if he finds it feasible enough to incorporate in a future gen of cars! 🙂

I'll do my best to let my natural NYer come out and not be "too nice." 😈

Wonderful! Perhaps our paths will cross as that is the first week of our B2B. 😁

Was disappointed recently when I got a hot dog at Costco and discovered no onions any more and yellow vs deli mustard.

BCD has lunch at Costco once or twice every week. He says they only have chopped onions occasionally and he's always had yellow mustard -- this is for the past ~15 years. He would LOVE deli mustard instead!

Wow! You were able to get an Owner's Suite on such short notice? Excellent!

WE USED ONE OF THE KIDS WHILE WE WERE OUT

Your kids must be skinny to fit in that slot! 😆

Sounds like a good drink for a fuzzy brain. 

Try having 5 rounds after dinner!

Aurea is worth it to me because I value anytime dining and the ability to dine alone.

We wholeheartedly agree! When we first cruised, we chose NCL because of their "anytime dining." We go on holiday to spend time together, not to eat with strangers. And we usually dine leisurely, so why be subject to others in a hurry?

When I traveled for business, my best dining companion was my reading material. I had no desire to converse with others, just to recharge and get ready to face the next day.

Thanks for the image of the cabin. We've been on Seaside but this will be our first sailing on Seascape. We were wondering if the YC1s had the same open shelving next to the bed. Nice to have a bit of a separator but still be able to see the moonlight on the water. 🙂

Hennessy, lemon juice and Cointreau are shaken with ice and then served in a martini glass with a sugar rim (that last part is my preference). Yummy! 🙂

Although we could use a cruise right about now

Ouch! You really do need one now. 😞

You might want to keep in mind the European way of recording dates vs. US style 🙂

I just booked out of NY 01.05.25.   ...   Will it be too cold until they go South?

Usually May 1st is temperate, though you can get some colder days. My very first time flying out of Logan/Boston on May 1st had snow flurries.

Please tell me they have good bacon at the YC buffet. Not Canadian bacon...not English bacon but BACON!

The best part is that you're in YC so if it's not crispy enough or not floppy enough or not 'whatever' enough, they'll make it to order for you!

So excited that you're on board now -- so much so, that you'd think we were on board as well. Thanks for helping us get through the next 4 weeks until we board! 🙂

lunch on the pool deck was simple but nice

You skipped the grilled tournedos in the YC restaurant? We love those on day 1 for lunch. And I love the octopus soup. (I think the hamachi and avocado carpaccio has a cult-type following on CC as well.)

You can have the prosecco but not the Champagne! 😳

If they run out of Champagne, they move up the brand. It's a wonderful thing!

I meant throwing a few pairs of shorts and tshirts in the bag.

I forgot that you were traveling with minors. Never mind... 😈

Just don't drink all the Stella's or the XO or the Gray Goose!

Champagne, Oberon cabernet sauvignon, Hennessy, Cointreau or a "real" bourbon are the ones where we might clean them out, otherwise you're fine. 😁

This one especially made me laugh. It's a holiday, no? 😁

Friday is almost here! Looking forward to traveling along...

Can I get a cappuccino made with almond milk in the YC?

As long as almond milk is somewhere on the ship, I'd say yes. Or, if not, use amaretto. 😁

Looking forward to having some type of Old Fashioned and Sidecar with both of you

And so are we!
