Yes, the stock performs very well. It's almost doubled since I bought it just a few years ago. I hope it keeps it's upward climb! Most people (posting here, at least) seem to buy solely for the OBC benefit. You are one of the few that appear to have purchased for the sake of the stock itself.

I'm near SF so we have cruised on the Grand 3-4 times also. In fact, we sail soon for Hawaii!(y)

 

At any rate, We've always had a good cruise on her also. It would just be nice for us to get one of the newer ships with different venues, interactive tv's and how about some seats that people can actually sit in and enjoy the show in the Explorer's Lounge? lol ( those seats really gripe me. You fall down into them because they're so low, you can't see anything on stage and then you have a tuff time getting out of them in the end):)

 

No biggie, we're still gonna cruise on her... just saying.

Mine was credited about 15 minutes after I sent it via FaxZero. For next month as well as April 2018. I'm happy!

Not if you bring it in a wine glass

"Room Temperature" from the old world back when was less than we think today. Mid to upper 60's F. You don't want to be going over 70F. Unfortunately many restaurants and such don't have coolers so you get the wine at the room temp and it isn't best. If too warm, the wine can be "flabby" - can't think of another word. So, a light chilling of a red that is kept at room temp is a good idea.

 

Whites are sometimes taken and served from a refrigeration unit that stores soda and beer and is too cold. Again, without a proper cooler, many whites can be at an inappropriate temp. The OP is looking for too cold a temp IMO. But again, different folks have different preferences, or what they have become used to. So, some whites at 45 perhaps but more full bodied up in the 50 - 55 range.

 

As for the OP's dream request, well Thurston needs to lower his expectations.

^ this even the Thurston catch is spot on.

some of these posts are entertaining as hell, I'm picturing some of these events in my mind and saying to myself "what the hell!"

Automatic flushers and water controls don't prevent urine from spraying all over the place on a man if they aren't controlling where the urine is going.

princess has automatic flushers & water control systems.

No touching involved.

My tux and shirt are very comfortable. I leave it on unless it gets hot.

sorry I hijacked ur thread King

thank gawd 4 air conditioning

mmmmmm meatloaf :p with a nice chianti. This is coming from a green eggs and ham generation kinda guy...

Or, at the very least, a shirt, tie and slacks are still appropriate on formal nights.

especially after three days of hittin the buffet line and one cannot fit into their sport coat ;)

This is why I don't eat people's potluck meals if I'm not sure about their hygiene. I see way too many women at work take the express route from the stall and bypass the sink. Ewwww. If they do it at work, I can guarantee you they are nasty at home too.

great advice o p and many should (?) pay heed to it.

id ask the offenders if they are OK that you dont wash you hands then reach out to shake their hands. wonder what they would do.

what the hell is happening here :confused:

I so dub thee ..."The Shenanigans thread" bwaaaa haaa haaaa

Thanks all. Especially for the info on where to hang out. I'm going to miss a balcony, but this is a save money year. :rolleyes:

I bought new luggage 3 years ago, a 3 piece set from Samsonite. It has been on 4 cruises now with no damage at all.

And so do I.

The man who speaks well does well, the man who dresses well does even better.

I have PSTD whenever I see that Volkswagen Jetta commercial.

My wife and I were on our second cruise to the Mexican Riviera. Seated at a table of eight. With my beautiful wife on my right and our table guest to my left who was twenty years older than myself and her spouse whom was twenty years older then her. She got up to use the ladies room, when she returned I stood and pulled her chair out and seated her. During the main coarse service this was repeated as well as desert. Second night my wife and I were the last to arrive at our table, I seated my wife and then myself, I took hold of the napkin and a card fell out onto my lap, I thought "Hmmm this is a cabin pass...what is it doing in a napkin" I turned to show my wife my find and I felt a tug on my left pant leg. I looked down to see my table mate to the left was on her knees under the table looking up at me "Oh there it is, I've been looking for that" she quickly swiped it from my hand and returned to a standing position beside her seat while looking at me with a what are you waiting for. My wife stopped her conversation in time to tell me " I think she wants you to seat her" so I did. My wife went back to telling her story of the days events to the nice couple to her right when I felt a hand on my left thigh. I calmly looked over to my left to see a gleeful look in an sixty somethings eyes. Bwuhahaa .....SOMMELIER! I shouted. I ordered wine lotsa wine. My alcohol tab was the most expensive excursion of the cruise.
