I was inspired to watch today also. I hadn’t completed Season 10, so I am setting that as a goal as I hand quilt a 90” X 90” quilt. (If you don’t know, that is a really, really big quilt). I saw the controversial Mexican themed show. Oh, my.

Kinda makes you want to watch a cake baking show! 🤣

@david63 I’m wondering along with @NE John about how the tax is applied for the Drinks Package. @rakkor did you do a drinks package on your recent Med cruise?

We did the Empress Tea many years ago and it was very good. Not sure I’d pay for it now. I didn’t mention it since we’re on Cunard and there’s tea almost every day on QE.

@NE John Grandson and I did the Bear Fortress excursion in Sitka and really enjoyed it. Folks who walked around town expressed a little unhappiness. Victoria is a hard one because it isn’t a short walk into town. Hopefully Cunard has a shuttle you can hop on. It’s a pretty city and it you like flowers Butchart Gardens is beautiful. Sounds like you’ve got the other ports covered! Are you flying direct to Vancouver or going through Seattle?

I would go to London before Christmas every year if I could and then take the TA that departs on the 15th of December back to the states. We ordered baskets from F&M for Christmas delivery as presents and it was SO much fun to watch people open them. The windows on Oxford and all of the lights hanging across the streets, the people bicycle Santas across from Saint Martin’s in the Fields. Tea at Claridges and watching football in a pub. Asking my DH now, “When can we go back?”

YIKES! That is a really bad shade of green.

@D&N Tears in my eyes for both of you. I hope Ursel handles it as best as possible.

@exlondoner I think you should just google upside down pineapple on a cruise ship door. You might want to open up a private new tab first. 🤭 I had to look it up after reading about it on the Celebrity forums.

@jam19872016 Was there really a stuffed mushroom underneath all of that?

I’m on my way @NE John and we can have a lasagna bake-off, but I’m sure your wife would win. Cunard really did a miss on my Paella in December. I too wanted to go back and show them how do it!

That chili looks disgusting @jam19872016. I think this may be another example of a Cunard difference. 😙

@jam19872016 Thanks for taking us along on your adventures and letting us enjoy your mom’s shopping. I have enjoyed your sense of adventure and humor. Next time I hope you pack a jacket so you can enjoy a Gala Night.

The library on QV is one of the things I’m most looking forward to seeing. The pictures are beautiful, more beautiful I think than QM2. I don’t know about other library on other Carnival brands, but the Regatta had a well stocked and beautiful library. Darn, the pic. Is on my phone…

Oooo you get to go to Haines. I’ve never been there.

@NE John I was so glad to read you booked Alaska, but disappointed in your date since we won’t be able to cruise together down to San Fran. What is the cruise number so I can see where you’ll be going?

Wow! You’re getting frost and snow already? Get out your sweaters, err jumpers, and put another blanket on the bed and stay warm. Grandson #2 arrived in boots yesterday as rain is in the forecast. Time for popcorn, hot chocolate, a throw blanket and a good movie. Everyone have a good week.

I finished reading the thread from @jam19872016 and hopped over to Crystal to read the thread from @rafinmd. They are such a contrast in style. Both are great!

@rafinmd It has been a joy to follow you in your travels. I’m so glad you were able to make all of this work for you. Take Care Of Yourself! That’s not shouting, just emphasizing. I look forward to your next journey. Susan

Great posts on your blog @rakkor. Love Jane’s red dress.

I would love to see them slide the cabins into place!

I just read the posts to DH, who hasn’t been to Santorini, and we’ve decided if we should visit we will spend the day in the Spa and enjoy the sunset.

@Host Hattie Thanks very much for the link. It’s a great read.

@jam19872016 Hello from another Cunarder! It has taken several cups of coffee to read your wonderful postings. We’re doing this cruise in June of 2025 and I really appreciated your posts re. Barcelona. As @NE John pointed out, we are generally a pretty nice group, just avoid the conversations around dress. Now that a link has been provided, thank you @Host Hattie, you’ll probably see more people joining you on your adventures. Thanks again!
