Thanks Jan finding the post. I swear it said 9-21-23 too. Glad it turned around and you had a loss. After my 5 lb loss day after cruise, was dehydrated I know. So, after eating and drinking more at home. I lost 2 lbs. I don't think that's bad for 40 days on a cruise and a week at home. Hope to lose more and not gain this week but so many things going wrong/broken ect-- hope the stress doesn't get to me. You know what we do or at least I do sometimes. Eat. Everyone have a good weekend. Come in and talk.

Yes, none of us wrote anything wrong. Didn't get any notice. Weird! Never happen before. It was a good post, right?😄

I started the post for 9-21 and JustUs and Jan wrote on it. WHAT HAPPEN TO IT?

Know many have cruises coming up soon Siting on the deck watching the moon Three months (More or less) will be Christmas Day What will you weigh Less or more than today or just be happy to stay the same Getting thru the holidays and cruises are like a game We eat less calories while at home we try and hope But eat more at parties and dinner's, don't go overboard and be a dope If we gain at these events we have to lose the same pounds again you know So better to be good at home and when we're not at home, have to learn to use the word No (Thank You) PS NO is a good word to say to ourselves at home too--when we reach for the chips, cookies, ice cream, ect

Jan HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Glad had a good time with the family. Next year will party in here again! Bring back the "good old days".

No talking? You all had a perfect week in eating? Izena Hope you're feeling better and not worse after your company this weekend.

JustUs glad you had a good time camping and back on track now. Yes, fresh tomatoes are the best. Jan glad you didn't have a gain. Last 2 days I've been grazing too much. Why do I do that at times. It's a NO NO. Tuesday will do better. Cooking some chicken. Take care all.

Ombud Enchanted Princess doesn't have a library. Was on her in June. What they have. You go to the front desk and ask if they have any books. Passengers bring on books, read them and leave them there so other passengers can read. them. So, I took a couple of books, read them turned them in and took two. At that time they only had about ten books. I miss the library's. on the new ships. What is nice the Royal Princess had a small one with lots of books. Think that ship was the last one made with one.

Ombud--I just called room service and said what I wanted changed. They did it, NO charge. (did it 4 times, 4 b2b's) I was going to do the tea but never did. To me it would be free as an Elite. Hope you're doing well. We miss you.

Hello on this Sunday Afternoon. I knew I shouldn't of weighed when I came home. The 5 lb loss didn't stay. Was from being dehydrated. Gained a few back. See what happens Thursday. Should be a few pounds down or at least stay the same for the 40 days. Where's everyone? So many talking last weigh-in. Come back. Trying to get my house dust free. Impossible! Them putting floors in and other work plus me being gone 40 days. EVERYTHING is so DUSTY! Getting down on my hands and knees to dust hidden spots isn't as easy as it was before. Why? Couldn't be the birthdays I keep having each year?😁 Hope to see more people talking soon. How did your eating go this weekend? Since almost end of summer do you eat more or less? Dreading the fall and winter?

Hello everyone. Enjoying your weekend? Hope so. I'm still on cruise mode--haven't done much and have so much to do. I forgot to say yesterday, my new floors are so nice. Came home and said --do I have the wrong house?😊

On the back of your Princess Patter is a list of Dining Options for each day by the ones that Charge there is a-- Star like mark. So read each day and look by where you want to eat and see if they charge. Very easy. If you have Princess Plus or Princess Premium can get free dinners with them. You need to read about what you get with each of them, so you know. what you have before you go if you book one of them. Hope this helps with the people who wanted to know what places had a charge.

I'm Back (yesterday) Still have to Unpack (Big Mess) I was lucky to be Most Traveled Guess 2nd or 3rd on the cruises---Got Big Gifts, prizes. Had to find ways to carry them home. Glad I had a fold up bag and the Princess's. Old Blue Bag. --So, off the ship with--1 big bag, 1 carry on, 1 reg bag, 1 blue bag a 12 pack of diet coke (gift) and my purse that was as heavy as a suitcase. Then today, if it's right, probably not---my scale says I lost 5 lbs. I got on it several times. and it kept saying the same thing. Will see what it says during the week. Think might be I haven't drunk enough water but again I didn't overeat on the cruise. Hope it stays off. Will see. Izena--- thank you for starting the post each Thursday. I'm so sorry that you're having so much trouble with your health. Then on top of it 1/2 of the company you don't want to see. Least not staying with you. Last week it was nice to see more people coming on and talking and having cruises coming up. Hope everyone stays with us. Jan--- How are you doing? Feeling good I hope, know you did eating the kettle corn, it's so good.😊 JustUs--- Have fun on your camping trip. Those brownies and rice treats would tempt me, you're lucky they don't. kids mamma--Thank you for trying to help Izena I hope everyone comes back from last week and that everyone has a good weekend.

Home today---Enjoyed my 4 b2b's. Didn't find out about the spa. I'm Sorry Again from the captain, said the Buffett is not being made into the Marketplace. He wasn't happy about it. He thinks it should be.

DRYDOCK-- On the Ruby now and have been for a few weeks. This is what I know for sure. From the Captains mouth to my ears---- -2 weeks drydock in Portland--1 week wetdock in Victoria, after their Panama cruise, home base will be in Florida CASINO--From Hosts Talking out the extra gaming tables and adding more slot machines. All the tables will be in a row down the middle, blackjack most tables, other games 1 table each CABINS--From my room steward Said changing everything in cabins, mention new mattress for every cabin This is what I know.. What else their doing, I don't know. Didn't ask. Hope this helps those that want to know about the Ruby.

Thank you all for the good wishes. Had a nice day on the ship. Nice to see everyone posting. Have a good week. PS Glad you all seem to have cruises coming up soon. Aren't they-- The Best?🚢

Sorry I've been missing in action. Been having fun. In 14 days I'll be home. The scale will tell the truth. Haven't been eating much but eating to much carbs. Also with drink package drinking more (drinks and coffee/teas) which I don't do at home. Trying my best most days but----------------------- Tomorrow is my Birthday so maybe eat or drink a little more, maybe not. Sorry Izena you haven't felt well but seems your really back on track now. Great loss! Thanks for starting the posts. Jan you had a loss not a gain, be happy but I know what you mean. Why is exercise so hard for us to do. Some it comes so easy, me never easy. Solo I'm so sorry your having trouble with your neck and then all the other problems on top of that. Nice you had a loss and now have Alaska to look forward to. It's as beautiful as ever. In rain or sunshine which we've had both of. TxNight Welcome. Glad you joined us Losing weight this week is a good start. Remember what ever you lose before your Nov. cruise will make you less then your are right now. You'll be happy. Everyone take care, have a good week. Loss's for ALL, me too.

Sorry gave wrong information. (Blame the headache I was having) Yes, it was the Enchanted. I always want to say Enchantment for some reason. Yes a ship on another line has that name. When I said green lane, I meant the Elite lane. If you don't have the Medallion with you have to go to the blue lane. Blue lane is only line that carries your Medallion when you check in. . So lost perk of Elite line if don't want buy the Medallion.. Sorry for the mistakes Forgive me?.☺️

Was on the Enchantment the month of June. All card games had machines even the ones with just one deck. They said-ALL Princess ships will go to the machines. How soon this happens. who knows? Maybe Ruby will do it at dry dock when taking out the tables. This was told to me by a higher up. So me it's true but as you know things can always change. As Cruise Raider says some things have changed, starting with this cruise. Different ships have different dates when they start the changes, Ruby was the 15th of Aug. If you don't have the Medallion with you go to blue line even if Elite. Losing another perk. Still like Princess, will still sail with them but so many changes in every thing, it's not the Princess we knew and loved. The crew is still very good and of course some better then others.

I've been on since 8-5 everything was normal except they started the blue line early for those who didn't have their medallion. didn't matter if Elite, blue line for you. Now 8-15 everything started . I'm Elite called room service to change out bar--no charge Room service if use phone to order even if have PP charge $5, if use TV or App no charge but is that after the $14.99 charge, don't know. I used the phone, like to make changes so far no $5 charge (usually charges goes on in a minute) Have the plus package either she was wrong before or didn't charge me. New room service menu (old still on TV) no more Dip with chips, Chocolate chip cookies Don't know what else they have taken off. Dry dock, one thing their doing is taking the double table games away and adding more slot machines, that's where they make their money. All I heard was 2 weeks in Oregon. Can check by seeing when the next cruise starts. Panama Canal. Cruise Raider yes ship is moving differently then normal. Doesn't bother me but can feel it. Now going faster to make up time from yesterday. We were getting in late to Juneau than normal already. I hope the passenger is alright and getting better. Hard going with rain and fog. The ship is fine even if older. Least has Skywalker and a deck to walk around unlike the new ships. Service is good as usual. I think who ever comes on will have a good time, plus who can beat the beauty of Alaska?

Hello Everyone! Hope you all have a good weigh-in Thursday. Alaska is still beautiful, never can see to much of it.

SF Pier 27 Aug. 5th I'm Elite, didn't have Medallion had to go in blue line, said Elite line doesn't have Medallions. If have Medallion can go in Elite line. We've earned Elite line but they want their $10. But does it really matter because if you have PP and Medallion can go in Elite line. Also this was suppose to start Aug. 15th on the Ruby. Maybe only thing that was early. Didn't charge for room service.

Thank you solo. Better not great. This isn't me but still getting packed. As you know when not feeling well (know you've all had your problems) it takes you longer to get things done, always sitting down to rest. But I will make it! Good weight loss especially being away for the weekend. Your cruise will be here before you know it. Think Susan leaves this weekend for her cruise. I'm glad you had a good time on your date and enjoyed each other's company. Another date soon? Well bye ladies will try to keep in contact some but just want to relax, enjoy the sights and sounds. Not that I'm in a hurry to come home but when I do. New Floors! Yea! Take care everyone

Just don't book a cabin near the bow/front. The cabins are narrow only one-night stand. Try to book close to the elevator. Cabins normal.

Jan--So sorry you're still not feeling well. Still testing Positive. You must be bad--No Wine? I'm glad husband is feeling better and is going. Nice you had a loss should be more when you don't feel good and don't each much. Izena--Thank you for the sorry and the advice. Your right, getting old sucks. WE fall apart before our eyes. Next month a birthday and will be a year older. Yikes!!!! Nice you had a loss and went to the doc and got what you wanted. I thought I would have lost but no, stayed the same. Not fair when you don't eat much------ I know who said life was fair. Hope to see everyone else in here soon. Take care.
