Nice attendance for C&TD Kristen's talk on the first 3 sport Iron Man competition in HI. Then a stop in the library for some reading and pre-swell sea watching. My spot My view Yard to capture because the water moves quickly and, well honestly, I do not, lol, but the swells are starting to get larger.

Thanks for posting - that is the same we are receiving. CO is just slightly different. So 6-10am for pre-breakfast in-room coffee.

Thanks for the update. Prayers and positive thoughts the radiation does its job.

Very nice - your efforts paid off and were worth it. Happy Holidays!!

Great days and important day in history; pass on the quote; YES to the meal, drink and wine; not been to the port - it was canceled during my PC cruise. Today's weather bow cam view aft cam view Prayers and positive thoughts for all.

Feb 2023 cruise came close to being the "cruise to nowhere" when itinerary was changed multiple times: Aruba went from all day to just 5-10pm. So, we did port there, but would have missed any excursions.😪 I'd be hesitant to book w/someone who changed the terms after they received your deposit.🤔

White Christmas was yesterday's 3pm poolside movie. They showed Elf a couple days ago; they may work their way through most of them. I will cast a vote for Bruce Willis and Die Hard 😊

During his update yesterday, Captain said to use caution ⚠️ & prepare for rougher seas today as we could have swells up to 16'. Nice breeze yesterday; little ⛅. Current Bow Cam view Aft Cam view Current location Weather

NP - always room for our resident score keeper 😊

Hey Susan - you will receive a breakfast "hanger" each day to put out by 2am. I use mine for "pre-breakfast" so I can have coffee before heading to breakfast. You'll fill in your delivery time (I think the earliest available is 6am); they'll deliver w/in 15 min either way (before or after). It's a fairly limited menu, but you can write things in and they'll usually accommodate. I sometimes add 🥓 🥓 or oatmeal and have always gotten it. If you're a big coffee drinker, you might ask for 2 pots as they're kinda small. You are also able to order breakfast from room service. I will take a picture of the breakfast hanger tonight when I get one.

Yes tonight's is Miracle on 34th St

Hey @cruise101 I'm hoping first you're able to get the charges for juices credited back. And 2ndly that the $6 you paid was for 2 people not pp. This is from today's breakfast menu.

Christmas dinner as served on the Koningsdam. Chicken & wild rice soup was too salty to eat, but was served at a good temperature. My Santa was received broken; tablemates was not, but I didn't get a picture. Tablemate did not care for their plum pudding.

I have apparently used my thermal pass too much today - Samsung Health reports I'm behind. In fairness, the time is not correct- ship time is 2 hours earlier. It won't help; I will not make much progress as dinner we know will be minimum 2 hours. And I'm not walking the decks at midnight.

Since it's almost dinner, I guess I should fill you in on lunch. It was a dog w/o bun and small portion of naked fries. Poolside while waiting for the 3pm movie to start. Dessert came from Lido Roof was open during the football game; they closed it for the movie. 20231225_154840.mp4

Full house for the 6pm performance 🎭 of "Humanity" by the Step One Dancers. C&TD Kristen does the introduction

I don't know about the cold water bucket drop. 🤔What and where is it?

For sure 😊 when I post the remaining pictures of the ceramic lounger space, you will see where the hydropool is.

That is very close to mine. The layout, room size & shower size are great, closet space is good. And other than the first couple days when it was rough, the movement has not been an issue. Of course, we're still early into the trip...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

On Nieuw Statendam TA Rome->FLL Nov 26 - Dec 10. We were CO and had HIA. The only time fresh squeezed OJ was not covered were the last 3 days when we were told (no matter where we ordered it) that they were out. The other days, we got it at N/C in MDR via HIA, room service via CO and CO dining room via CO. So, some HAL crew that apply charges are aware of the FSOJ Inclusion policy. Eeks that doesn't read well...

@cruise101 which drink package did you have?

Not really - he mentioned they also got it in CO for breakfast. CO room service breakfast hanger is different - it includes fresh squeezed OJ at no cost. Nothing to do w/HIA.

Thank you! Merry Christmas to you and your family, too! I understand Santa 🎅 came early and brought us some rain - yay!!
