Feeling your pain with your dad. My mum suffered for almost 10 years. A very proud independent lady who I think of every day. I won't go into the struggles she overcome but she is my role modal for living a positive happy and healthy life. Loving your blog as usual. Your warmth shines through. We're off to Singapore in February, my first visit back after living there as a forces brat in the 60s. I better get a move on, I'm only on page 14 😊

No snow here in the South Graham, just frost. Loved seeing all the frosted webs in the woods yesterday, so beautiful. Today is a little warmer but rainy 🌧. I prefer cold and frosty/snowy over cold and rainy. Going to get the Christmas lights down today to check they're still working and start decorating. Will get our tree on Wednesday

Thanks for doing the report, and Happy 20th anniversary ❤️ We were on Symphony at the beginning of the European season. Was October a pleasant month to travel ? Not too hot not too chilly? -
Denied Boarding at Port, with PITIFUL Compensation
sgmn replied to SG65CB's topic in Royal Caribbean International
As someone who worked for large international airlines for over 40 years and had to deal with denied boarding at the sharp end, this is not true at least not for large international airlines. Anyone on a free mileage ticket is a valued frequent flyer. Why would they upset their most valued customers. Nonrevs are staff, and even they get looked after if they are confirmed and away from their base station. We would offer a sweet deal to pax who would still make their onward connections if they travelled on the next flight. We always got volunteers -

Yesterday was our weekly babysitting day with our 2yr 8mth grandson. He has a cold and cough but initially looked pretty much OK as just had his baby medicine and inhaler. But we decided to miss out on our normal music class and play ground visit due to the cold. But we did feed the ducks, probably a mistake as he was running around for a few minutes in the cold air. Things went downhill as the day progressed and it ended up in A@E and overnight stay in hospital as his wheezing had started again and the Dr's need to monitor his oxygen when he is sleeping.

Denied Boarding at Port, with PITIFUL Compensation
sgmn replied to SG65CB's topic in Royal Caribbean International
In my opinion that's rubbish and a huge generalisation. My next guarantee cruise I've bought ship tours for each port and specialised dinner reservations already. Always prepay gratuities and tip on top. I guess I just assumed that guarantee meant guarantee, not maybe you'll get a cabin, maybe you won't .
