The colour of the paint.

What are the colours?

A ship is a ship.  

I see they have wine now from the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada

No more free alcohol.

Has anybody booked a cruise on CruiseCritic?  Thank you

What's the main difference between Curnard's ships Elizabeth and Victoria.  Thank you

I think the cruise contract is the 15 or so pages of gobbledy gook that no one ever fully reads. When I do our express pass there is a box which needs to be ticked saying you have read all this.  As has been said, no one ever asks you to show this.  All you need is the Express pass, passport, and the credit card you designated to pay for expenses on the cruise.

Nice photo of a Beagle.  I love Beagles.

Celestyal is a new one for us, we've sailed loads with Royal Caribbean, a few on NCL, a few on Fred Olsen, and we love Cunard, but we're looking for a specific date and the only one that looks remotely okay is a nice suite on a five day Greek cruise on the Celestyal Crystal.

Has anyone been on this one?  What did you think of it?  The service?  Dining?  Entertainment?  Hoping you're all going to say it's brilliant because the dates work perfectly!

 

Many thanks to anyone who can recommend, or otherwise.

Hey I sailed on Celestyal, sailed around Cuba, I found it excellent, small ship, lovely crew and excellent food.

Looking for others booked on the June 13 sailing of the Celestyal Crystal to start a Roll Call.

How was your cruise?

Most of the landings were by zodiac boats.  We were required to wear our life jackets except for hikes longer than 5k.

We probably won't do any more expedition cruises.

Hey Tom47, I can understand where you are coming from.  Thank you for the response.

Just bring gravol in the event you don't get your sea legs.

The cruise line was Paquet, not Piquet.  

Darn spell check. thanks Essiesmom for the correction.  I appreciate that. I sailed on the Rhapsody.  Quite interesting actually.

If you haven’t already discovered it, there is an awesome forum called ...

Whatever happened to..., and these are a lot of stories re:this.  You should repost this subject there for information.

Thanks Cruseforme, I will do exactly that.  Fair winds and following seas.

I was on the Apollo, Epirotiki Line and the cruise ship subsequently sank.

Yep.  I couldn't do it all.  There were those really high steps that my fear of heights was never going to consider 🙂  I think their staff did a super job looking out for every body.  The trekking poles helped me.

 

I understand, nice photos.

We were on a Hurtiigruten Antarctica cruise in February 2016 and recommend it.  It was strenuous.

Why was it strenuous?

Has anybody sailed on the MS Italia with Costa Cruise Line.  I would love to hear your experience back in the early 80's.  Thank you

I am sure they have had some customers, most likely the majority of them being the Greeks and the French, rspectively.

Actually the majority were not Greek nor French when they sailed in the Caribbean, the passengers were mainly American and Canadian.

PopBabies travel smoothie maker is one of the best small blenders for protein shakes and is receiving great reviews.

Lightweight, easy to take off the bottle and drink directly from there or carry with you, PopBabies mini travel blender features built-in lithium batteries and can be recharged with USB. This is why it’s easy to use anywhere.

Running at 22000 rpm, it’s fast and powerful enough to blend ice and frozen fruits as well as veggies, beans and nuts. The package includes also a small ice cube tray. Made with safe materials, this portable blender battery operated is BPA-free and FDA, CE and RoHS approved. The blades are seized up in a cup and you don’t risk to hurt your fingers.

You can either put the blender in your backpack when you are going out on a sightseeing day and make your smoothie or juice any time of the day or you can make your juice while in your room and carry only the smoothie travel cup in your bag as the lid doesn’t leak. Obviously, you can make also sauces, dips, salad dressings, milkshakes and whatever you can think of.

You can blend also hot food but not over 100°C and can’t be used in the microwave. It’s easy to clean as it can be put in the dishwasher or you can fill it with water and then press the start button. Using it often, the battery can last up to 4 or 5 days.

Did anybody cruise on the Greek Epirotiki Line and the French Piquet Line.  Thank you

Aw, shoot.  I like bologna sandwiches.  Mrs Ldubs chides me about the processed food, but what the heck I figure every once in a while is OK.  

 

PS: Don't like muesli much.  I like oatmeal but hated cream of wheat for some reason.   

I love oatmeal.  Chopped apples make a key addition to apple cinnamon oatmeal. Fresh sliced peaches go well with a peaches and cream style. Chopped mango and kiwi can work well in a tropical themed bowl. Mashed banana adds a nice sweetness that pairs well with peanut butter and chocolate chips (Elvis style oatmeal!)

We also.  Take care.  As I'm sure you do.

PS:  We both learned to make bread a few months ago.  And we're in our 70s!

Late bloomer are you clo.

Hey Idubs, it's 2019.

 

I don't know.  I'm not much of a cook and it seems like a lot of work.  Besides, it is just so 60's.  😀😀😀

Maybe it is an outdated photo.
