We did it in St. Maarten but I believe they offer it at other ports as well.  It really is a lot of fun.

 

Stars and Stripes and true North  4 are actual retired Anericas Cup vessels in St. Maarten

We were on True North and won.....many moons ago ...

Is Simeon a comedian now?  He used to introduce the comedians.

Hiro is too much like the Harmony aqua show (ninja type) for me.  How did you like it?

What was your opinion of the slaw in Hooked? Unless they have changed it since the TA, it was the worst I ever tasted.😝

Here is something new. Symphony crew puts a key card in the slot for your cabin lights. So much for being green. 😱

They had cards in the slot on Harmony in Sept. when we were there.  I always take an extra expired card to use in the slot but didn't need it.....

We recently applied for some cruises and the statement sent was over 60 days old.  They replied that we must send a more up to date certificate--which we did and all were approved

No, sorry.  I was very disappointed to see her that way.  Don't know if she is soon to get some attention but I sure hope so.

Pretty sure your little block is lead crystal, so be sure you have it readily available in your carry on because it will look suspicious on X-ray.  Take it out as you go through security.

PS. Divulge the hack

We were in port with Enchantment whilst on Harmony a week or so ago and I was appalled at her condition.  Royal should be ashamed.  The exterior was in serious need of paint.   Very large rust spots on the upper parts of the ship--not just around the water line.   Hope the interior is in better shape.  I have never seen a Royal ship look so bad.

Genies can do anything, don’t you know?

Just off Harmony and Christopher from the US is AMgr.  You don't even have Harmony listed that I see?

So sorry to hear Nancy left. 

We were on and in the lounge with a glass of grape juice at 10:40. Because the ship was only half full before us, embarkation was super speedy. Absolutely no waiting

Wonder how low the winds at the port need to be for the port to be reopened, still 31 mph on Wednesday, much better only 17 mph on Thursday.  

That would delay the shorten cruise another day. I don't know how those people flying in can plan for the unknown, I would think only people on that sailing are going to be current people on the ship plus people that have ability to drive to the port.......

Those that may be driving long distances may find themselves in the position that we did two years ago this time of year with Irma:  all of Florida was driving north and it was nearly impossible to find gas or lodging.  For that reason, we made the decision to cancel.

And the ice lasted all day long. Could use one at home by the pool. 

Just for you....

Hope you have a great trip.  Take good care of Harmony;  we will be on for 2 wks in Sept.

A very popular private company on these boards when needing transportation from Heathrow to Southampton is

Smith's For Airports. When we have needed to just get into London from LHR it's BlackBerry. Both amazing companies but for your particular routing contact Smith's For Airports for a quote as there local for Southampton.

I second Smiths for Airports.  Have used them several times.  They are reasonable and dependable.

Since this was a Welcome Party, the entire ship was invited for free drinks.  This seems new. It still was not very well attended.  That's a shame, we had a little preview of the Dive show later in the week.  And free cocktails. 🍹

They did this on Allure in June and even with the entire ship invited the aqua theater was only about one quarter full!  I expect to see it discontinued before long....

it was pathetic

LOL.  But thanks for looking.  I really enjoyed Trainman's posts but haven't seen any recently.

 

Jack

Sorry to report that he passed away a few months ago.  He had a running yearly blog over in the float away Lounge.

I don't know what happened to tapatalk.  I used to use it all the time but it is not functioning well at all for me now!🤬

Or just select the text that you want to quote (like I did above) and click on the "quote selection" box that pops up.  Very fast and no need to delete anything.  Someone else mentioned this tip a few weeks ago.  Lesser known option that I don't think existed in the older version of CC.

Great tip!  Hope everyone will use it.  I must have missed it elsewhere....I’ve just been deleting the pictures.🙄

Just got an answer and they said it was Photobucket!🙄🙄

Oh, dear...

Don’t know if you followed Trainman or not but he used a site for all of his photos.  There are many years of his threads so I can't search, but I have asked there if anyone remembers.  Will let you know if I get an answer.

Lou won Best of the Best, his wife Cindy sent me this picture. I'm not sure where he signed it.
