Not having Jack Hughes in the lineup definitely hurts the Devils.

Wotta day yesterday. I got it! Now I just have to figure out all the computerized aspects of it. I'm used to a CR-V made 15 years ago!

Do you think Whitney Houston was exaggerating when she sang I'm Every Woman? 

Nope. We all think we are every woman! Damn right we are, too.

Beautiful 

Megan's Bay ... a long time ago, I had never been on a cruise. I booked one (on Carnival) and went solo. What did I know about cruising? NOTHING. Had such a good time, the addiction started. I went to Megan's Bay and there was a shop there--bought such a cute sun dress, wore it for years. That was such a nice beach.

By the way, if you ever want people to leave you alone while you're drinking, just get yourself a Charles Manson T-shirt... Or, maybe it's just me...

It's probably just you and that scowl on yer face.lol

Here's the mask from San Juan yesterday... It's really fragile, and why I went through so much trouble to find that box...

 

 

 

 

Oh, I love it! Ignore my previous question about the masks...sorry.

 I'm just going to play things by ear, and see what happens next...

That's a favorite of mine while on a cruise. I do not like the "pressure" of too many plans. Enjoy!

And ... can we see the masks? Or did I miss them?

Long-time lurker, first-time poster to the Tribe, so if I'm out place, reprimand me appropriately! 🙂 All great points raised by everyone on the advice, the cost of flights and hotels surely is an added expense that merits considering. And I spreadsheet the heck out of everything and track and compare every nitty gritty detail down to the penny; that said, something about this "feels" like the Horizon ABC is the choice to go with. We booked one very similar for Sept 2024, except we have La Romana and Amber Cover instead of Bonaire. One of things in doing that, was that Aruba and Curacao, as well as La Romana, are all new ports for us, so wanting to experience something different was high on the list, cost be damned (how irresponsible!). And Horizon is new to us as well, though, so that helps sell it. But it just seems like even in your posts and responses...you may be leaning that way. Why not try a new port, and take the extra day? Close ones in Galveston and the Jubilee will "always" be there, right? Go for Horizon, and the 8th day, I say! Now...back to the lurky depths...

Welcome! No reprimands. 🙂

Cruised on the Epic once in 2016, and it's indeed quirky...

 

 

 

Yeah, that's the only NCL ship I did not love.

Getting a lot of this when trying to catch up on the Tribe cruise reports....

All that 80's music out there in OSJ today should have you prepped for the Celebration's 80's Rock & Glow party tonight onboard. Do you have enough Aqua Net for your hair?

I had a few "perm years" back then Surprised no one ever just put me out of my misery...or sat left theirs. For some reason I liked my perm. Ew. Shudder. Trying to edit the "sat left theirs"... but have no idea what that meant...never mind!

🎶 My girl wants to potty all the time
Potty all the time

She potties all the time, ooh hoo

Potty all the time
She likes to potty all the time, potty all the time, ooh hoo
Potty all the time, she likes to potty all the time
Potty all the time 🎶

Hmmm. This gives new (possible) meaning to the name a couple of Hispanic friends in NYC used to call me ."Pahtay Pattie".Maybe they were actually dissing me the whole time...

Same. I know the right words/vocabulary but then I get tongue-tied when it comes to speaking it aloud!

When I went to the DR to stay at an AI, I learned "thank you" and "please". Thery liked me. That's all they needed, apparently, an effort and politeness! ha ha

I laugh at the periwinkle. My daughter is getting married and her colors are placid blue and sage. I said so blue & green? She said NO!! PLACID BLUE AND SAGE!! 🤣

I understand the Sage part. Definitely lots of greens, some ugly as heck. Sage is a favorite, though. But "placid blue"? Calm blue? lol

The Barrachina line is ridiculous

So bizarre! Every time I am in SJ I go there--never a line! That stinks.

Easy peasy. Join the Tribe thread, don't be snippy or judgmental, join in the fun! You will be loved.

Hmmm no pics how do we know this is not one of your vivid dreams?

@HogladyriderLet's face it, we don't have pictures of ANY of the most interesting (to us) parts of Sid's life, Like...well, puking in the sink. Hollering at a coffee lady...that stuff. We just hafta imagine (as scary as that sometimes may be).

I am a selfish person. I don't deserve the martini I am sipping. My first thought was envy--all those "young" people with bods that are not yet an embarrassment! Those were the days, by God. lol

I would guess that that may have been the norm but I was on a roll call on the other site. They arranged a meet and greet with officers and bartenders. I believe the organizer was a long time NCL cruiser and knew many officers on board. I assume that’s why it happened but it does happen. 

That is interesting--I guess NCL caved to social media. My experience was 4 years ago, so clearly it has changed. At the time, NCL would only schedule one with a CC group. I'll still stick with CC on that though--call me old-fashioned! lol Too many crazies on social media.

We've all witnessed the drying-up of the CC roll-call activity.  I'm not clear, however, on the other site how with so many people you can organize, say, a reasonably-sized M&G, slot-pull, or bar crawl without creating a massive mob.

 

(I do get it, however, regarding information sharing....the more the better...)

I was on a roll-call for the Sistah's Cruise here and joined the other one just to try and herd people over to the CC one. The CC roll-call can get a meet and greet with NCL, the other can't. And I personally LIKE the roll-call on CC. Boy were the heads of the other one nasty to me! Just for trying to answer Qs and explain the "real" M&G would be via CC. Ended up being blocked and I was GLAD they did not join here--what a bunch if clueless nasty people.

They do have a few pieces of decent art, but unfortunately I don't exactly have an "art budget"... All my money goes towards bills and cruising...

 

 

 

 

And tequila, and food, and shirts. And hangover meds. Not that I am keeping track or anything.
