Mostly, yes.  I don't remember much gin or whiskey but they gots the rum!  Numerous mojitos including strawberry, mango, peach.   

Also, cuban coffee is there.  

Can you get this on the Glory?  If so where?  Sorry to hijack your thread...lol

I get a pina colada with a shot of Chambord.  If you have the drink package this counts a 2 drinks so I order the pina colada than wait 5 minutes and order the shot.  This gives you time to drink some of the pina colada so you can top it off with the shot.

We had an Aft corner and loved it.  I don't remember it being that hot/sunny because we do not really like to just sit in the sun unless we are doing something.  I would do it again in a heartbeat.

sounds good to me as i like moscato white wine-can't get over how many rows of wines there are at Giant Eagle- from all over the world and all kinds of prices from the $3 a bottle to the $300+ a bottle that's under lock & key.

 

Gallo also makes a line of fruit wines.  You might want to check them out as well

I drink non alcoholic banana daquaris alot on the cruise-depends on the weather- can't drink alot of rum based drinks (like bahama mama's) also like my dom perignon but it's waaaaay too expensive- used to buy it when it was $40 a bottle (my friend and i would split it)- so now i settle for martini & rossi asti spumante - barefoot also makes a good asti spumante

You should try sparling Pink Moscato if you like these

(where if it hits in NY/NJ as a thunderstorm, it wil be called superstorm Lee)

Sorry but I lived through Sandy (about 100 yards from the bay) and it is nothing I'll ever forget.  Stuck in my house for days while I was surrounded by water.   House flooded...I remember someone saying great we have power again now everything can get back to normal...for me when the power went back on we still had months...years to deal with the destruction.

CBD can be purchased for a myriad of reasons, and that level of THC doesn’t give you a “mind freak.” OP may use it for sleep, to reduce inflammation, etc. 

I do actually use it to sleep..thanks

Hey @sydney dog if you have an opportunity to go to the 9th Ward while you're in NOLA, you'll likely still see an area not fully recovered even 18 years later. It's heartbreaking and frustrating at the same time. 

Seeing to learn why and how to do better is far different than going simply "to see." IMO

I completely understand this however it appeared the OP just wanted to go to Maui because of recent disaster and to "see" it  Ever since the devastation of NOLA I wanted to go not to see it but to eventually bring some money to the area and support local businesses.  I know it may be a little late for that aspect but I feel good about doing it.  I am aware of the people living in the 9th ward and have donated throughout the years to try to help out where I can.  This time since I'm flying Southwest and am allowed 2 bags per person I will be bringing down supplies for small animal rescues in the area. Maybe not helping the 9th ward but helping where I can.  In my opinion Maui...too soon.

OK so my question is HOW do you avoid them at dinner?  it seems that they just come to your table and it is almost easier to just comply with the pic than dissuade them from taking it.  Any tips would be very much appreciated.   Not only is it annoying but we talk about what we are doing during the day at breakfast and do a kind of wrap up at dinner.  

For the people who use the reusable straws that come in a little container to keep them in, do you have any issues with them leaking when stored?  I have an issue with being "sticky".  

I just bought a Gift Card at AARP using an electronic Visa card given to me as a gift.

I bought clear acrylic picture frames with magnetic backs and put pics of our pets in them.  They are pretty cheap and take up no room in luggage.

Some things that are kind of between Cuban Coffee Queen and the dock, that you might do in 1-2 hours:  

Mel Fisher Maritime Museum--artifacts from shipwrecks

Truman Little White House--history

KW Museum at Custom House--art and history of KW 

(More) drinks and music at Hogs Breath or Sloppy Joe's

 

Thank you for this info.  I was also thinking about the butterfly conservatory.  Anyone have any info on this.  DH and I are really into animals and I thought this might be a good choice.  We would have about 1.5 hours to spend here.  Would that be enough time.  Planning on going when they open at 9.

thank you

If I have the Cheers package can I order a can of beer on the room service menu?  Will I be charged or will it come off my cheers package?  Also, there are 2 of us, can I order 2 cans of beer?

WooHoo!!!

Just got the following message...

The U.S. Department of State approved your application for your passport book. We're now printing your passport book and preparing to give it to you.

You requested routine service when you applied. Routine service can take 10-13 weeks. Our processing times begin the day we receive your application at a passport agency or center, not the day you mail your application or apply at a local acceptance facility. You should receive your passport book on or around 08/28/2023.

Will check back and let everyone know when I receive it.

As someone who has suffered through a natural disaster (Sandy).  I wouldn't have a problem with tourists visiting after the area hit was recovered.  I was happy to see people visiting the shore towns after recovery and help get the local businesses up and running.  However, I wouldn't want people just coming in to the area to "see" the destruction, that would just anger me.  That said I am cruising out of NOLA in 2 months, but that happened in 2005...so in that case I think it is acceptable.  IMHO

Still waiting...Processing since 4/20. 🥵
