Hello from the deep blue sea--Glad I'm on it--not in it! Cool weather as we sail north. Icy straight tomorrow. Maybe rain. No rain last cruise was nice. Sorry for your hot weather wish a little warmer here, suppose to the last two ports. Izena. jo and everyone have a good week.

Hello "girls" we are "girls' at heart and not women who are getting older! Izena thanks for starting thread. Having fun in casino, so far loss's beating the wins! Think snacking is all of our faults. Jazzper is a male right--So thinking like a male! Just tell him your walking by yourself. Show him! Jan yes you come in but just be comfortable with your weight at this time. Just eat healthy and just do what you have to. Hope everything will be over soon. Susan any loss is a good loss but I know what you mean by slow loss when cruising soo n. Just be happy your losing. Enjoy babysitting. Ombud on her cruise now? Try to come in again but internet acting up here in Alaska. But Alaska is just Beautiful. Loving it. Take care all.

In case I don't make it on by Sat. just a reminder I'm leaving Sat. the 9th for 60 days. I will have internet some of the time and if it's working when I want to use it will try to keep in touch. Even maybe try to start a post, not a sure thing. So, will someone please start Thursday weigh-ins for me. Want you all to keep posting and do good. Lose weight is the goal but if not at least stay the same during the summer months. Take care, will be thinking of you.

Are the numbers 7-7 lucky for you today Did the scale go your way Did you get through the three-day holiday alright Or did you just relax and sit tight Would be nice to have the scale numbers go down You would have a smile instead of a frown Summer is here to stay so food will be around Eat a little then hit the ground (walking, running, push-ups, anything)😊 Enjoy the week but remember coming up is another Thursday

Anyone out there? Anyone out there? Echo--This place is empty!

Two adults in a cabin------ Each person gets one bottle per cruise. So, 4 free bottles without corkage. Have to show proof of 2nd cruise.

Some ships had the free laundry because they hadn't fixed the machine on the wall to take the medallion yet. So Free Laundry could change to charge at some time.

If people feel sick and go to medical and are tested there, if positive then they are put in quarantine.

Good Morning-☀️- up late as usual. Just wanted to say hope you all have a good day in everything especially, you're eating. That will help your scale weight on Thursday. S---Sleep C---Cut up vegetables or lean meat A---Always drink water L---Low carbs or low calories (how you're doing it) E---Exercise a little

You can do it every day if you want. Put the clothes you want done in a bag that's in the room. Can ask for more if needed. Room Steward will take. Of course, you have to figure when you can send the last one to get before leaving the ship. Usually takes three days (could be shorter) if lots of Elites could take longer. (Sometimes say seven)

Jan--Glad you're still negative, sorry husband is still positive. His he sick or just has it. How are all the others who caught it at the party? You take care. Stay safe. Izena--So sorry your cruise was such a disappointment, Hope you write them a letter telling about the crew. You paid good money for a cruise and should get what is expected. Sorry about your son, Hope he's feeling all right. You take care too, stay safe. Hello to all.

Jo glad you had a nice Canada Day doing what you wanted. Quiet day here, got my lawns cut. Some clothes washing, watched the fireworks on the TV. Didn't have them in my town this year, fire danger and water drought. Hope everyone else had a good weekend. Can you believe Tuesday already?

I've always gotten my change and receipt without asking in all Princess casinos.

Suppose to be 8 alcohol bottles and 12 cans, bottles of water. coke, beer, tonic, sprite, ect. Whatever they are doing at the moment now it should be 20 total items. This was still the way on March cruise, and I change them for what I wanted. No problem. Guess depends on supply what brand you get on things. But still should be 20. Guess I'll find out in a week.

Izena when you posted yesterday, I thought you were home all ready. Hope your home now or almost. Hope son and Gd are feeling better. You stay safe. Sorry your cruise wasn't as good as you wanted but glad you and Jan had a good visit. Susan sorry you got covid on your last cruise. Wasn't it safer/nicer when ships were less full and everyone wore masks, everyone still had a good time and less chance to catch covid. You and I sailed a lot then--no covid. Hope Ombud doing good on her cruise. Jo did you enjoy your Canada day? Jan how are you? Still negative? Hope the family is feeling better. Take care

Welcome back Izena--Think you enjoyed your cruise. Not sure was it a small ship, a river cruise? Can't remember. Least you enjoyed the food. Glad you haven't tested positive. Did you wear your mask at all times? Hope it stays that way. Sorry the family has it. Hope everyone feels better soon. I think the cruise lines had the people stop wearing their masks to soon. When everyone was wearing masks there was less covid. The 1st cruise on each ship when they said no more wearing of the masks if you don't want to. Then it started--- more Covid cases Another thing less people on the ships then, now their booking more people on the ships. Instead of 50% or less, now 80 to 90%--soon 100%. My opinion only. It won' t stop me from cruising but I will wear my mask at all times. Will help some. Covid is here to stay I'm afraid. With the vaccine and boosters most people don't get really sick and go to the hospital, like you it seems like a cold. But don't even want that on a cruise. Can still be sick with a cold especially the 1st day or 2 Jan--So sorry your family has covid. Too bad the GF didn't stay away with not feeling well. Said they flew down, guess didn't have another place to stay and sure didn't think he had covid. Everyone got it so fast. Guess everyone hugging and kissing hello, eating. Wonder why 7 got it and 6 of you didn't and hope you/they don't. You stay away from your husband. No kissing, ect. Stay well. Been a lazy day today. Need to do get things ready for the cruises and just didn't do anything. Trouble is I'm the only one to do it but for some reason didn't want to do it today! Will do some things tomorrow plus want to leave house a little clean. Don't have to overdo it! It will just get dusty while I'm gone!😄 Hope you all enjoy your Sunday and Monday of the Three Day Holiday.

Sorry I've been busy forgot to post. Sounds like everyone had a good week. Susan--Good Loss! Just think no plans might mean less food, so a loss! This weekend just getting thing ready for my cruises. Jo--You had a loss to. Good! Hope you had a good Canada Day. Did you do the neighborhood party this year? Jan--I'm with you stayed the same, really not what I wanted either but at least we didn't gain. Always a plus. Hope you're having a good day. So, hope, everyone enjoys the weekend being busy or just relaxing. Whatever you decide.

July 1st Canada Day-------July 4th Independence Day Three-day holiday for all. Catches us both on the same weekend. Canada has Friday--USA has Monday Will your food intake increase because of the 3 days-- BBQ's parties, dinners out, more drinking and more desserts? Do you have plans? Or is it like any other weekend? Sadly, to say mine is boring. In the "olden days" use to go to the river and rent a cabin, did it with the kids and later just my husband and me. Had friends that went to. Was so much fun and there was more food and drinking. Now I can be good but sometimes being human I eat to much because I'm not doing anything. Make sense? Have you been there? Whatever you're doing hope you enjoy yourself if at home or going out. Just try to have less calories, carbs, sugar, drinks---- But have fun, yeah right!😁😊 Take care and be safe--Covid still out there. (Especially in groups)

Casinos are open on sea days and are closed when in port but about 30 to 60 minutes after ship leaves port. Whenever the next day is a sea day the slots are open 24 hours. As far as I know this applies to all cruises except Hawaii. Casino closed while in Hawaii day and night. Opens when leave last Hawaii port. Hawaii doesn't allow gambling. Why so many Hawaiians go to Las Vegas for vacations.

When on the Ruby in Feb-March 2022 to Panama they had meetings but don't remember them having coffee and snacks but they might of. At that time had meeting in the Wheelhouse.

Jan a 12-day Mexico. I may not even get off the ship. Just going for the cruising. Just sit on my balcony and watch the world go by! Hope you're having a good day and everyone else to. Sure Izena and Ombud are on their cruises.

I did it again! Booked a cruise for Sept. Got an offer I couldn't refuse😊

Afternoon All, Last week of June--Can we lose weight this week? Thursday will be here before we know it.

Jan I'm so glad you got to meet, wasn't sure if you were. You made plans in private so we never knew if it was happening. Bet it was nice to meet and talk to someone you met in here. Also know she had information/tips dealing with breast cancer to tell you. Hope it helped you. Happy you had a great time talking. Enjoy your evening and have a good Monday.

NCL has no casino on their ship that sails out of Hawaii.
