I have to take look & see it in action. Seems like it might eliminate on of my pet elevator peeves, where the first person in presses the button and then just stands there, blocking both entry to elevator & the buttons. However, it could be replaced by another potential pet peeve whereby I'm on one side of the elevator bank & my elevator arrives on the other side, will I have time to fight the crowds to get to it? Like I said, I need to see it in Matts place as well as real life action before speculating too much.

They look good to me! 👍

For my New England friends, hopefully not to edgy.😉

I still see it. Screen shot from your quote.

That is so exciting. Thank you for all the great iceberg pictures.

Awesome colors in the icebergs. How did you get the close-ups? Were you on a tender or excursion? Or just a great camera with fantastic zoom lens?

I had to chuckle at the end of the video when I heard someone excitingly squeal there was snow! Usually it's said with a resigned sigh or groan. 🙂

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe that's where Santa and his elves live when on summer vacation?

Well, we are the 'ultimate' WC Makes sense. Ultimate World Cruise is deserving of Ultimate Drama, both here on CC as well as TikTok😉😇

This describes me. Normal home life I usually don't snack at night except for occasional sharing of popcorn while watching a movie. But on a cruise, I stay up later & burn more calories doing all the various night time activities such as shows, dance parties, casino, etc. Hence the late night hunger.

Welcome to the gutter. It's getting crowded down here 😉

Thank you for editing & clarifying. I thought there might have been some over-sharing going on. 🤣😇

Well, fiction is often times more exciting than real life. 😀

Exactly. Closing time of the buffet might be very low on my priority list of things I look for in a cruise, but all things being equal (price, itinerary, etc), it could tip the balance if I'm having a hard tip deciding between 2 cruises.

Fun! Thank you.

Bummer that the video won't post but the picture does capture the essence of what your experiencing, even if it can't do it justice.

Totally agree. Getting to sail in a part of the world few cruise ships & passengers get to venture is exciting. The weather, waves & rock-n-rolling ship is all part of the once-in-a-life time experience. If it could be captured on video, that would be great.

I'm going with outdoor portion of WJ. Or from the outside promenade deck. "Dirty, moldy & wet" so I doubt is was from inside. The real clue is on post# 2022, "dragged in".

I pity the posters who is unaware of her past history & tries to engage in a serious debate. But eventually, they get the idea. It's like watching your children grow up. 🙃

I think this is a point that can not be emphasized enough. First, disclaimer: Yes, I know Royal is a billion dollar corporation who is in the business to make as much money as possible. But not every little item is a profit center. How much money is made on a 70's dance party? Think of the man-hours spent on rehearsing, lighting, sound, costumes, etc, in addition to the actual singing & dancing. Who is paying to maintain/operate/staff the rock walls & flow riders? All of us, via higher cruise fares, whether we use them or not. But, as highlighted above, if it encourages someone to come back, there is a link to profit. Sure, Royal maybe has already decided that keeping the WJ open late gives them no competitive edge. But that doesn't mean the idea can't be suggested from time to time, especially as the demographics of cruising continue to evolve.

Different people have different senses of humor. We all can't like vanilla, right? 😉

"The Dominator", one of the best goaltenders, is a legend in Buffalo. Although the Sabres never won a championship, he helped a good but not great team be very competitive & dangerous. It seemed like he won the Vezina Trophy (given to the best goaltender) every year during the 1990's. Holds the record for most saves in a game without allowing a goal. The guy was fun to watch, flip flopping like a fish out of water. His body must've been made out of rubber. Although he spend the majority of his career in Buffalo, he eventually ended up on the Detroit Red Wings where he won a few Stanley Cups. He was known for his charity work & visiting hospitals. You & your SIL were in the presence of hockey greatness.

2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse? Sinister looking car with a sinister name. Just think of how intimidated the players on the other team will be when he pulls up to his games in this car.

It's a combination of old timers that have followed the team for 65 years & have had their hearts broken 64 of those years & some that have very high expectations, such as winning 9 out of every 10 games with every other win being a shut-out, etc. Any less is a disappointed LOL. They probably only make up 20% of the members but seem to account for 80% of the postings. They are a very loud group. I just view for the entertainment, kinda like Bee's threads. 😆 BTW, I miss JT Miller. Rangers never should have traded him away. Too soon to tell. I'd be satisfied with a deep playoff run.

After watching the highlights of last nights game, looks like Vancouver put on a show! Beautiful looking goals & some of the passing made the Rangers look down right silly. I also post on a Rangers forum & many of the "fans" there are already calling the season a disaster and the team needs to be dismantled. Typical "jaded" old time Ranger fans, despite the fact that they are still in first place in their division & more than half a season remains.
