HBE4

Also, as a solo cruiser, what have you been doing for dining? Going solo or do you meet people and dine with them or just go to MTD and asking to be placed at a table with people?

See what you can discover about Project Discovery. 😉 Lot's of speculations and hints but very little solid knowledge yet, other than it''' be "smaller" than the current crop of mega-ships & looking to replace the aging Vision & Radiance class of ships. Although it'll have to be bigger than 90,000 ton Radiance if they want to pack in just a few of the newer amenities such as specialty restaurants, karaoke bars, bigger solarium, Star-class suites, etc, even if they skip the roller coasters, water slides, Central Park, etc. So 130,000 ton Voyager-size sounds about right.

That's not just any old octopus, that's the legendary, often talked about but rarely seen Kraken.

Is anyone else having weird issues with CC? I had problems trying to get on for a few hours yesterday, kept getting a message the site is unavailable. Finally when I was able to get on, the site was slow and I was not receiving any notifications of new posts for threads that I follow. Now I'm being bombarded with multiple notifications for same posts I've already read. Does CC really want me to read the same posts 4 or 5 times! 😒😬

That is a shame. Last time I was in Falmouth, we did a Margaritaville Catamaran excursion. Snorkel first with snacks and drinks (in little cups) provided, followed by a beach party with food & drinks (in little cups) provided and ended up at Margaritaville, food and drinks NOT provided. I remember hanging out at the swim-up bar buying a beer & looking up at Liberty OTS and thinking I could be have a free beer there as I had the drink package. Of course, I love swim-up bars so I had 2 more beers before heading back to the ship.

You must be in my brain. I was literally just thinking about her & JC as I haven't seen them post in a long time. I just assumed I missed their posts as lately I've been spending more time on LIVE review threads than here, which is actually very uncharacteristic of me.

I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

Wow. There is a LIVE review thread with some pic & and videos of the wind and waves. EDIT: Not sure why CC decided to display the post with F-Bomb in it. That was NOT what was showing when I copied the link. Is CC trying to tempt me into a game of monopoly? 😄

I always have my eyes and ears open for alternatives and as VV is the new kid on the block, please post pics & your thoughts of the ship. That is, if it's okay with the rest of the gang. The impression I've gotten from others so far is to go with an open mind & forget everything about your previous cruises. People expecting it to be like Royal but slightly different seem to be disappointed. Just my gut observations. If you do a live over on VV, please post a link here. Thanks!

My DW was a country music fan and introduced me to Toby Keith's music with this song. Said it reminded her of us. 😃 I was hooked & became a big fan. I have fond memories of the 5 or 6 TK concerts I've gone to so this news hits a little close to the heart. Always wanted to take Little HBE4 to one of his concerts so she could experience what her mom did. I guess I'll need to take her to a Garth Brooks show, which was DW true country music love. 🙂

Yikes!

Every day. Good for endurance & breathing! 🙂 Or if that's too aggressive, how about taking the stairs on port days & skip the jogging so you can enjoy the port. On sea days, jog to your hearts content and take the elevator if you are going more than 3 or 4 floors. Or vice versa, on sea days, do stairs & gym and on port days jog in port & take the elevators. Just to change things up a bit It should be noted I'm a couch potato but I have friends that run. Not jog, don't ever call them joggers! I did that once & got a very stern lecture. LOL.

You have a good memory. It was originally Seafood Shack but then replaced with Sabor, the other Mexican restaurant. Rita's was on Allure. I think.

Congratulations on whatever it was that you may or may not have accomplished, participated in or for just showing up. 😀😉

Adding in my thank you to all who contributed to this most enjoyable thread @Ozark_Kid @FromSea2ShiningSea @ReneeFLL and @Ourusualbeach And a special shout out to @cruisinghawg for starting this thread & the amazing videos he shared. It gave a nice feel to being in the ship. Now I have to brush-up on my new neighborhood & pool names.

Maybe he just returned to his cabin from a night out! 🍻🥳 Or he's using the empty can as an ashtray 😱🤢

@dani negreanu Just to repeat what others have said, you are not a "party pooper" so please, please, please do not limit your speaking of your "tale". We care and are concerned for you and want to know what it going on in your life, the good, the bad and the ugly. So share as much as you'd like. I'm always glad to see a post from you, no matter the subject.

Is the Atrium suite overlooking the indoor pool area? Does it still turn into a night club at night? Good luck, enjoy dinner.

Not even a towel reserving a chair. EDIT: Just realized that you guys are at CoCo Cay

Now that I've gone down The Rabbit Hole with the Holderness family, I figured this my be of interest to our Swifties loving football fans. 🙂 Proof that Taylor Swift will win the Super Bowl. It's in the numbers.

Your January is a lot different from mine. This is more like it.

Glad it was a happy ending & when in a funk, this is the place to be to help unload the burden, even if it's just a little bit.

That has to be record time for a movie to go from theater to streaming! It's actually still in some theaters.

Me too. I couldn't figure out which island in the middle of the Atlantic brews Grolsch. Lol

It's currently in the movie theaters. I saw it last week. Pure over-the-top action, which I enjoy. The kind of movie where you just want to have fun & not think too much, Not everybody's cup of tea but it is mine.
