@grapau27 Happy Birthday Pauline 🎂🎉🥂

Yikes, wish I had half the luck you do. Congrats!!

Will just have to catch up next year

Yes that is Clinton, we were there 26 years over by Round Valley and 5 years in High Bridge before that. Great place to live and raise kids, not at all what most think NJ is like.

Looks like a beautiful day to begin a cruise. To all our gang onboard today Bon Voyage. Wish we were with you, seriously thought about it when it was first mentioned, but our nephew is getting married Saturday in NJ and that took priority. Headed up north this weekend to our PA house to get some thungs done befire the wedding. Not the weather I was looking for. Our view this morning A picture someone had posted from the town in NJ where we used to live Yes it's pretty but I am so done with snow. It is supposed to warm up in the next few days, sure hoping it does, ready to go back south.

Thank you so much for all the contributions you made to this thread. Enjoy every moment of the next part of your adventure. Hoping someone else will step up and keep us all up on the current happenings on Serenade. I am sure it's a big job but definitely appreciated by many here.

Happy Mothers Day to all celebrating today. Thanks for the explanation.

Graham adding my condolences for you, Sarah and Pauline. Regardless of past events it's always hard to lose someone in your family. Thinking of you all.

We have been in SC for a little over 7 years. Took a bit to find a primary but not as long as those moving here now, close to a year wait if you can find one taking new patients. Having said that I am on my 3rd "primary" in the practice, the others left. Not thrilled with almost starting over every time I go but at least have a place to go. Too many old people moving south. You are definitely a dying breed, be proud of yourself for all you do. I wish there were doctors like you here.

How sad but I do see it coming .

Safe travels, enjoy your cruise, bon voyage

We should get our first block on the Bella cruise as well, just make it. So nice of your friends to give you the block. Happy Birthday to all those celebrating, what a great day for all!

Sad news but not unexpected. Prayers for his family and friends 💔

It also brought memories back for me as well. We realized pretty quickly a night with Singapore slings never ended well. Haven't had one in years. @sgmn hope you are enjoying your cruise and no more fainting episodes.

Oh my, hope he recovers quickly and the drive home is uneventful.

This, especially if you are looking at March, typically Spring Break meaning lots of people especially kids. Better to book with 4 now even if the name is TBD and not worry about if space will be available when you decide who that will be.

💔

To add another wrinkle, if you do a Royal Up you only get points for the cabin originally booked.

I watched that when it was on originally, started off great, kind of silly but fun, and got stupid towards the end. Enjoyed it though.

Happy Anniversary, safe travels.

Congratulations 🍼💖🎉

It is 4 drinks a day so be careful if you want to use them only on alcoholic drinks if you get something else. The bartenders tend to use the vouchers first so specify you would like to or not like to use a voucher when ordering.

I think they start releasing them around the 1st of the month the month prior to your cruise. So, if you are sailing in April start looking around March 1. Have heard of some a day or so before and some a week or so after so no official this is the day.

Sad to see the end to a happy day in KC, so senseless and disheartening to hear children are among the wounded. Adding my birthday and anniversary wishes to all who are celebrating, along with a happy valentines day to all.

Hope both will be better soon. My son fell snowboarding while in high school. He complained to us how bad his hand hurt but nothing seemed broken. It was our last day in Vermont so he rode home complaining the whole time. After a few days of hearing him complain took him to the Dr, they took x-rays and yep one of the bones in the back of his hand was broken, Dr called it a fighters break, common when knuckles hit something. We felt bad and still hear about from time to time.
