" I didn't want a Tea Time thread to be Hijacked " Gelato is now served at tea? Wonderful news 🙂

Thank you for acknowledging the thread went sideways. I appreciate it.

Unless Carnival has corrected a long term problem with these forms you may not be out of the woods just yet, OP. The form you completed today sometimes doesn't "take" in Carnival's system. You may receive email reminders to fill it out even after you have properly submitted the form. Then a day later another email may come saying ' since you didn't complete the form online you will have to do so at check in. ' Don't worry about those messages. You will be asked to read the same health related questions again anyway at check in. Have a fun time and relax and enjoy yourself.

I was a manager with that company. Before the current owner bought it in 1980 The Warwick was part of the Lowes chain of hotels which was a division of MGM Studios. You may recognize this fellow who stayed there.

Well said. Your advice brought this to mind:

Pack lots of patience and there's ice available on lido for the ice bag you'll need for your head. Be sure to use a Carnival cup next to the ice dispenser to refill your ice bag. 🙂

Thanks for the reply.

If you should happen to see a blue cap with a marlin on the front and says Catalina Island would you please tell me the name of the shop you saw it. I thank you very kindly.

Some think it's a caddy for shoes 🙂

Seattle: The Emerald City.

You're to be congratulated for your perseverance. Most of us have to wait to be retired, like me, to have the time to play forensic accountant. No wonder your business is a success. Good for you.

You can see two Seattle neighborhoods in this photo. That's Magnolia on the left and Queen Anne on the right.

Would you like fries with that?

I first learned this in 1991. This is nothing new. Yes, some people choose to work for temp agencies for years because they work different positions and shifts and enjoy the change of pace. Many of these agents you will see time and again but they still don't work as contract employees of the cruise lines.

You should hear my tale contacting the Long Beach Port Authority in 2014 about insufficient parking cashier staffing causing long back ups in the dome garage. The Port Authority bounced me to the Queen Mary Hotel who leased the garage from the Port. The Queen Mary bounced me to the Port Facilities Director of Carnival Cruise Lines because Carnival was sub-leasing the garage from the Queen Mary Hotel. Before I was done all three became involved in the matter. My persistence paid off. I have sailed the Panorama 9 times and the Miracle once from Long Beach since January this year and not once did I endure the long waits to pay and exit the garage as I did 8 years ago. Good luck to you, Tom.

All of the check in agents are casual part time workers from local manpower staffing agencies. In major ports agents can be assigned to RCCL one day, CCL or NCL another, and are required to wear the insignia of the company they are representing that day on their uniform. Regardless, port authority officials are the ones to direct your question to regarding the TV stations being aired in their facilities.

The type of steak was not indicated on the menu before or after the recent change from filet mignon to strip loin. I'd be grateful if you could ask a supervisor what type of steak is being served now at brunch. Thank you!

Thank you but that doesn't answer my question.

I answered a question asked of me.

Life is like a box of ping pong ball chocolates.

I'd have to know more. For now, I wouldn't want to fly on a plane with Port Valet bags in the hold.

Like Seinfeld said: limited editions are limited to the number they can sell. The same applies to the "art" auctions 😉

I wasn't suggesting you order one, someone else did yesterday.

The comedy isn't my concern. It's his taking tips on the piano that's questionable. When he takes the mic from a paid contract employee (and possibly direct their tips his way ) there's breach of contract and it's not polite to hog another's limelight unless asked to do so.

Clamato? 🙂
