  1. I've always had them in suites, but verandah has been hit/miss. My only inside cabin did not have one. They are available at the gangway, so you can pick one up as you scan out. Or if a smaller one will do, the compact ones are lightweight and take up little room.
  2. One in this location is a very good alternative IMO - there are so many places to hang out when do want to get the ocean experience
  3. Three great days to celebrate today - 529 accounts are a great help w/pricey education costs. Pass on the meal (chickpeas but sounds yummy w/chicken) and drink, would try the wine, been to Anchorage once (no pictures, frustrating experience) & look forward to seeing pictures. Yesterday was a bust - Mavs🏀 lost, so we go to game 5, trees 🌳branches and debris aplenty from the storm (dodging them added 15 min to the drive to eye Dr) and allergies again prevented the Dr from doing the procedure. So, I'm the proud recipient of a new Rx, a lecture about the evils of eye rubbing, and freshly inserted eye plugs. We'll try again in 2 weeks. 🤞the plugs help; she says she can pop them out if I don't like them. Thanks to everyone for their input during my research. Currently 70° headed to rainy 82°. Forecast estimates worst of the rains between 10-12, so I should just miss them returning from this morning's Dr appt. Prayers 🙏 and positive thoughts for all.
  4. This has been my experience, too - called in and HAL applied both GC and CC to a single transaction. Also done using a TA. Updated booking confirmation correctly reflected the split payment.
  5. No, you didn't miss it. No procedure again - allergies too bad. She gave me a new Rx w/a side lecture about rubbing my eyes. I did have the plugs put in and go back in 2 weeks.
  6. I have not booked yet hoping to get a clear answer from the surgeon on my shoulder. I am very interested pending his response.
  7. Hi - looks like you booked an Oceanview not an interior. There are a few interiors w/windows, but the windows are small, not full height like you will have Although it's classified as partially obstructed, you will have a clear view straight out your windows, unlike the cabin next to you that will have a lifeboat view. I always get a balcony but was very pleased with the Oceanview I had - the natural light and water view make a difference. Have you looked on halfacts.com to see if there are pictures of your cabin?
  8. RIP golf cart - sounds like golf cart had a good run at 31 years. I hope you find one that serves you as well as this one did.
  9. Yep - so you also know the value of the upgraded toolkit w/✏
  10. DH is far from a light sleeper, but deck 8 was a 1 & done for him. He asked where they housed the herd of elephants 🐘 that ran amuck bumping into chairs and tables🫣🙄 We were aft below Seaview Pool & Bar.
  11. @Nickelpenny got it - love it.❤️😎 Growing up in a 70's household w/a parent in the music business, a pencil was considered 1st line of music crisis management.
  12. Thank you for once again sharing such beautiful pictures with us. We enjoyed Corfu when we were there Nov '23 on NS - your pictures are far better! I love how you're dining w/crew - that would really make for a special cruise experience. Safe travels as you begin the final leg of your amazing journey.
  13. New alert came in while I was reading the FR&D updates; luckily it should expire in an hour and I don't leave for Dr until after 12. This weather is crazy - hope everyone stays safe.
  14. I like brisket and hamburgers and everyone definitely deserves basic rights, Good quote from Mr Byrne. Pass on the meal (tofu) and drink, would try the wine, no pictures of Norfolk as I've not gotten out when I've been there (work not cruise). I look forward to pictures. Hope @grapau27 and Pauline feel better soon. RIP Bill Walton. 🤞the eye doctor is able to do the procedure today - last visit she said my allergies were too bad and sent me home w/an Rx. They don't feel any better, so 🤷 Currently 79° which is the high for today (feels like 88°); temp should drop slightly as the rains move in. Supposed to rain all week. I can feel the 98% humidity- ugh. Just received a warning to take shelter due to poss 80mph winds and the severe weather watch is now a warning. The storm appears to be just north of us. Prayers 🙏 and positive thoughts for all.
  15. The storm is either taking a break or has moved on. It filled the backyard, of course, but I'm fairly certain we had no damage. Crazy weather right now. Stay safe. and YAY Stars! Final score 5-3; it was a tough game.
  16. Humbled by your story and beyond appreciative of all those who made the ultimate sacrifice so I may enjoy freedom. 🇺🇸
  17. A storm popped up a few minutes ago bringing wind💨, sideways rain 💦and pea size hail, as well as a very brief power outage. The dogs freaked out and I can't find the cat, but I'm sure he found refuge somewhere in the house. Silver lining is temps dropped, which is nice. When the power came back on, I was able to see the Stars🏒 are already behind 0-2. 🥴 Prayers🙏 everyone stays safe wherever you may be.
  18. Thanks @1ANGELCAT for yesterday's mention of last night's PBS Memorial Day concert. I watched it today and it was very moving.
