Hi everyone, I just signed up for this nice long cruise and can't wait to get back to Australia and visiting Japan. I will be sailing by myself and hope to meet everyone on board. Take care and stay safe, Bob

My Brother, his wife, and possibly my Nephew maybe joining me on this cruise.

Hi, Bob!  I will get your custom door sign made up and emailed to you. I'll be traveling to see family this and next week so it probably won't get done until closer to the end of May if that's ok (I need to do a couple test prints on my home printer before sending). 

No problem take your time, there's no rush.  Thanks

Bob, our next cruise is the Apr 2025 Transpacific sailing on Solstice (Sydney to Honolulu).  How about you?  Oh, and how is your wife's recovery coming along?

Sharon is doing fine, actually tomorrow we'll find out if she can start putting weight on her right foot. I just booked a Carnival casino offer for a 29 day cruise from Brisbane to Seattle with 5 stops in Japan and a couple in Alaska on April 3. So we'll be around at least the same ocean? LOL

I hope you and Marcie have safe travels and hope to run into you both again. If possible can you send me another door sign with just Bob on it? Thanks and take care, Bob

Marcia and I got off the ship healthy and remain that way.  I am sorry to hear about your norovirus.  

 

Maybe we would have all gotten infected if there was a slot pull!

Thinking about it I think we may have caught it on a food excursion in Mexico. Where's your next adventure?

Here is our stateroom attendant, Gede (pronounced like “good day”). He is from Indonesia and fairly experienced. He last worked aboard Millennium. 
 

Gede was pretty efficient and generally we were pleased with his efforts. It took a couple of days early in our cruise for him to understand our schedule so that he could get our cabins made up while we were out.  Also our cabin was missing a few things at the beginning of the sailing like the room service breakfast cards and laundry form that we had to chase him down to get for us.  On the other hand, when we pointed out a few things with our cabin that needed repair, he saw to it that it was addressed by maintenance fairly quickly. 

 

Gede was responsible for the aft cabins (including ours and @julieawill) and a few cabins on the port side of the ship.  Because our aft cabin door was on the starboard side hallway, we didn’t see him that much as we went about our day. 
 

We did run into Oana from Romania quite a lot as she had 17 cabins on the starboard side of the ship including @Bob29321. She seemed to be always out there cleaning. We would say hi to her at least 5-6 times a day as we were going or returning from our cabin. We asked her why she seemed to be always working. She explained that in addition to performing the daily tasks that go into servicing a cabin, she likes to devote extra time to performing a deep clean in a portion of the cabin (she would rotate the portion of the cabin that needed to be deep cleaned). She said that is how her mother raised her. Pretty impressive. 
 

It is always amazing to me how cheerful these stateroom attendants were every minute of every day.  Telling us with a smile to have a nice day and then turning around to clean a bathroom.

Yeah Oana, was great, friendly and did an excellent job taking care of my cabin and she got high marks on my review which I hope helps her get a promotion. 

Just curious did anyone else catch a case of Norovirus. My brother, sister-in-law and I ended up with cases the night before disembarkation?

Also sorry for not getting a slot pull going but I guess the best way to get a hold of people is before sailing. DUH
