YAY!!

We saw planets, too. It was all very cool. Fun part was hearing all the kids cheering. We're across from an elementary school and can hear when they're outside. The kids cheering timed times w/the birds squawking.

Good there was nothing major and hope you're able to get into Hopkins soon.

Thank you!!😏 It is truly appreciated.

Eclips viewing update: Yesterday we had beautiful blue skies w/a few wispy clouds. This morning when I went to WM, completely overcast ☁️ Now as it gets closer to viewing time, the skies over my neighborhood are doing their part to try for us to have a good experience. This is a SW view from my back patio. This is a NE view from the WM parking lot 2 hours ago.

Correct.

Cannot use OBC prior to boarding. Can use HIA dining & shore exc credits prior to boarding. Be sure to ask at Shore Exc desk (not GS) to have pre-paid purchases move from CC to OBC; Guest Services cannot do it. Safe travels- enjoy your cruise!

Bon Voyage and Happy Birthday @Gran2011

Bon Voyage @Jacquee

That's great- thanks for sharing the link.

That's disappointing. I hope it improves for you.

I like your idea of "book club for 2 - the cruising version"

Makes sense - thank you.

Awe @StLouisCruisers what a cute picture - you and Linda look like very happy babies. She tried to get her own birthday, didn't she? If she'd have baked just 1 more minute...🤭 I hope you have a wonderful day today and enjoy the special present the Universe has sent your way - talk about a big party!!

Eclipse Day is here!! 🌕🌔🌓🌒🌑😎 Pass on the meal & drink, yes to the 🍷, not been to the port. Today is work, a trip to WM to drop off a return, eclipse watching and a visit from the plumber to install the new kitchen faucet. Finally no more washing dishes & meal prep in the bathroom! Rain has been taken out of our forecast for today, but still calls for clouds. So, Totality may not be spectacular, but I will be outside to witness it. I've read it could make the dogs anxious and that their eyes should be protected, so they'll be crated. DH took his eclipse glasses w/him to work so he can pop outside when the time is right; I'm sure it will align w/cigar break, lol. Currently 54° headed to cloudy 82°. Possible hail & tornadoes tonight. Prayers 🙏 and positive thoughts for all.

Happy Anniversary @Overhead Fred and Mitzi 🥂

Happy Anniversary @erewhon🥂

Happy Birthday @Norseh2o

Hope all goes well at cardiologist's and that your peek at the eclipse is a good one. Rain has been taken out of our forecast, but still calls for clouds here.

Having earned priority boarding, I will use it if it's shorter; if not, I'll go "regular." I use whichever is shorter. Maybe we'll see a time when 4*, 5*, suites & CO are not allowed in the regular line? 👀

Hmm - post #36 has it considerably later, unless I've got messages mixed up.

So excited for you. I think that would be amazing to witness on a ship at sea. I like there's a Plan A and a Plan B and a lot of creative flexibility involved to ensure passengers have the best experience. 😊

Well, not for free, anyway.😉 Welcome home!!

Wait, what @POA1 you and @Huskerchick like each other? 😏 So an important factor in the Bubble of Awesomeness & key to successfully traveling together is to have an afinity for your cabinmate?😉 Maybe you can host a class in exchange for a reduced cruise fare - I swear I've seen couples never speak or make eye contact and wondered what the heck they were doing on a ship together.🤷‍♀️
