Ocean Boy

I hope you have a great trip. It would be nice to see some pictures of Serenade. I have not been aboard for years now. What is your itinerary?

Our weather has been very different from yours. Just a very humid breeze less day. I was able to get about 2.5 hrs in on a bike ride.

She has five months to get back to Ft. Lauderdale.

We just had a 15 minute rain storm.

I love fog horns, too.

I am curious, where did that cruise depart from?

Gratuities go up for one reason and that it because RCI knows that they can get away with it. And that is all the more reason to move all these " behind the scenes" workers into the pool who were never there before. That leaves much more of the sky rocketing cruise fares for Miami to do what they want with. Don't take it personally Yogi. We are all affected one way or another.

Oh but you forget about the people that spend their cruises camped out by Guest Services listening to everyone's business. They have told us time after time that most of the people in those lines are removing gratuities.... so it must be true.

Are they raising cruise fares for the same reason?

The fog is getting thicker... A shot of my dear friend's house. Even she doesn't have enough money to buy a view today.

This is what a New England fog bank looks like as well as what our beaches look like after Labor Day...

The fog bank extends all the way down to RI.

@FromSea2ShiningSea Really enjoying your pictures. Thanks.

I never worked in a restaurant.

And I like to get my first Windjammer lunch before the crowd arrives.

This is C.C. It is not the way things are done around here.😉

Now that he has Monopoly down it is time for him to join Cruise Critic.

I wouldn't worry about it. No one has looked at my checkin time for my past 3-4 cruises. I think it is annoying that RCI has turned themselves into Southwest Airlines when it comes to checkin.

@Momof3gurlzI was doing some flight searching today and noticed that JetBlue added a 6AM non-stop flight frim PVD to FLL this coming winter just as the did last winter. I'm very psyched about that. Just thought I'd let you know in case it is of use to you.

Thanks for the info. Culvert is useless and that stupid thing with the card was so juvenile. You don't put someone in such an awkward position. There is also something odd about his smile, sort of like there are too many teeth in his mouth.🤔 I also didn't appreciate what those women were allowed to do with the deck crew at that dinner. Imagine if it had been male guests treating the female crew like that? Maybe I'm just getting old.🫥

Responding would have lead to nothing good. These new charter guests are drama queens.
