Dec Jan on K'dam, the "art fest" was set up during the day in Billboard Onboard and Rolling Stone Rock Room.

+1 @kazu I am more than a teeny jelly seeing your PG breakfast pictures - especially wonderful after a poor dinner experience. Best wishes for successful Bingo.

Dec 30, 2023 found us in Kona on the K'dam. Here are a few pictures from that day. Weather started a bit cloudy & iffy, but it turned out to be very nice. We passed this Christmas tree on our walk to the post office. This tree is much larger than this picture shows it to be; I cropped out quite a bit when I cropped out the people & shopping bags. Water sports are available right at the tender. View from the tender Bye bye Kona

I'll celebrate English - language and muffins! But no to Dr Who. The quote really speaks to me. The meal and wine sound good, but the price is not w/in my budget, so I'll pass on it along w/the drink. Was in Kona for New Year's on the K'dam; hopefully I select different pictures to post than when we last enjoyed this port. Big day in history for Britain. The eye drops I got after last week's procedure are already getting low - the bottle gurgles when I squeeze it. I use them 3x day, but shouldn't they last more than a week for $85🤷‍♀️ At that price, who can afford 12 weeks of treatments on top of the $1200 cost of the procedures? Insurance really should cover this - it's not cosmetic 🤔🫣 Dr gave me a coupon for the drops, which brought them down to $85 - holey moley! It was 57° headed to sunny 81° when I checked 4 hours ago; rains still forecast for the weekend. Prayers 🙏 and positive thoughts for all.

Happy Birthday @cunnorl

Happy Birthday @marshhawk

Yes @Johnny60 she will just need to use your log in. She cannot; however, share in your drink package. Welcome to HAL - safe travels, enjoy your cruise!

As @M&L-Colorado said, excursion tips are cash at the end. You'll want to notice if driver and guide are collecting separately or splitting them; I've seen there's no standard way.

Watching WOF - the lady solved the puzzle after she landed on the HAL wedge and won a $10k+ cruise to Alaska!!

Wait - what - you've not met yourself? 😳 Or you're hoping to pick up new glasses & parts on a cruise? 🤔That has never worked for me, I tend to come back needing something. 🤷‍♀️

Hugs @Cruzin Terri

We can always try for more, lol 😆

Very impressive!

Oh, please, no - I hope this is not the direction HAL is moving. NOT having a bidding process is one of the things that, for me, differentiates HAL and keeps them as my preferred line. I firmly believe showing only 2 capacity cabins as available during the booking process (to those booking for 2) eliminates the majority of the "bait & switch" dilemma being discussed. And is a reasonable business plan.

Hugs @1ANGELCAT

Some people take the confirmation just in case, but I've not had an issue w/OBC not being on my account when it's on the booking confirmation. Once onboard, you will see it on your statement in the app & on the stateroom TV. Safe travels - enjoy your cruise!

Same - not seen pictures at bars or shops, do see them at gangway. The shops will collect signatures at checkout so fairly easy to validate purchases if necessary.

@rafinmd hope all goes well at your oncology appointment today.

Grrrr - my post disappeared!! I'll gladly celebrate Earth Day 🌎 and Girl Scout Leaders; I have many fond memories of my time in the Scouts and still buy their cookies. Barbara Walters was a ground breaker - I'm sure that wasn't easy. I like some coleslaws so we'll see what recipes come our way. No idea what the drink is, would try the wine, been to Mykonos once (June 2017) but no pictures as they're on my computer. Thanks @Quartzsite Cruiser for your beautiful pictures. Thanks @aliaschief for another round of fabulous pictures. Prayers 🙏 @JazzyV for a successful surgery and speedy recovery. Yesterday was a great day w/the grand. Bubbles were a huge success - DH has not lost his touch w/the ladies, lol. DGD had her face painted at the art festival - soooo cute. Today is full of phone calls to confirm records were sent to PCP so she can complete LOA papers. Feels strange to not check messages and not set alarms for conf calls. I'm sure I'll get used to that fairly quickly though. Currently cool 45° headed to sunny 72°. Maybe the yard will dry before rains return on Friday. Prayers 🙏 and positive thoughts for all.

Bon Voyage @summer slope

Happy Birthday @Rowsby

Happy Heavenly Birthday to your Mam @grapau27

About half the time is massage the other half being seaweed and shower. This has been my favorite until they removed the waterbath tables, so I no longer do them. But the massages really are the best as typically the best masseuse do these treatments.

Dec 2023 no good way really to avoid the mob, but there was a line specifically for 4*, 5*, suites & CO. You have to be diligent about showing that & the Priority on the boarding pass as they will try to just put you in the lines.

I love chocolate covered cashews and fondly remember kindergarten led by Mrs Kunkle. Yes to the meal (ham & cornbread also sound like a winner - what time is dinner @Seasick Sailor?), would try the drink, pass on the wine, not been to the port. Elvis certainly helped change the music world. The northern lights volcano picture is beautiful @0106. So thrilled Tana was able to enjoy family dinner @smitty34877. Today is visiting w/grand - we'll be gone for her birthday (the adorable but trying 2 yo) so we're delivering books & bubbles to her today. Rains finally stopped & not due to return until Thurs night, currently 52° headed to 66°. Prayers 🙏 and positive thoughts for all.
