Alabaster Cruiser

Is Morsi still there? The last time we were there it was closed up. This was before Covid.

Yes we were and it worked well.

Also an excellent job of the Pilot jumping to our ship in that! One brave asset to the port😁

There were 60 mph winds at Fort Everglades this morning. We finally got to our car at 2pm. We had 2 new tugboat keeping us off the jetties as we came through the pass into port. Excellent job by the captain of parking a 15 story building in 60 mph winds!

No chair or umbrella. But the chairs were only 5 each.

Does anyone know about the medical event in the theater? I know one of the shows was canceled. We did a beach excursion in Tabago. It basically was transportation only to Pigeon resort(?). Talked with others who went by cab and they had payed $50 to and from. It was a fun beach. We ordered a $15 fish and chips. My DH and I thought we would be splitting a fish sandwich and fries. He came back with a out 3 lbs of freshly grilled King Mackerel , fries and a salad! One of the better meals of our cruise.

Izena...scary! Hope they figure out what is going on. I was down 1 pound today. So the last round of cruises I gained 1 pound. I will take it! Leave in the morning headed to Fort Lauderdale for second round of cruising. We go Western Caribbean first so should not have any problems with Lee. Later on we go to ABC islands. Always fun! Hold the fort down while I'm gone and will talk later...Susan

TxNight, when we go to Costa Maya we usually walk through the port and grab a cab to the Malecon. It is a walking street through the beach area and shops, restaurants. We used to have a friend that owned a beach club there. We would go there each time. But he has moved back to Texas now.

Hello all again. Finally weighted today. Up 2 pounds after the cruises. Not terrible but not good. The other thing is we leave in a week for another b2b! I'll have my work cut out for me then. Everyone seems to be doing well with their losses. Happy Birthday Belle! Thanks everyone for being there when I need to face the truth😁.

Wow! These losses make me ashamed to come in and say I stayed the same....Again! Next Thursday will be my last chance before we cruise. We have 7 booked before the end of the year. So once we start I'd better maintain some sanity or once again I will be out of my cruise clothes. This summer I have lost approx 20 pounds so right now I pretty much have the pick of any of my clothes. Such a welcomed event! In between cruises I again will be doing my nutrisystem. As long as I don't go too far out of range I will be OK. I am going to try to stay away from the bread and butter (that I love so much) in the dining room. Have to give up something to be able to drink the wine!😁😁😁...Susan

Husband and I drew owls with the wine and draw class. We drank more wine than we should have. They had set up with several wines for each participant and only a few showed up. Michael encouraged us not to let the wine go to waste, and we didn't 😁. My husband couldn't believe I got him into this, but we had fun! We gave our owls to our 4 year old Granddaughter. She couldn't believe Papa and Grammy drew them!🥰

We are on Celebrity Equinox in August. They are doing a "trial run" of vaping in the casino. I will probably be wearing a mask in that I do not like the fruity smells. May not be a bad idea anyway!

Hello all! Stayed the same this week. I will take it because I had the 5 year old Granddaughter last week. Too many ice cream cones!😆 SoloAlaska, my only workout is about 10 minutes of leg exercises each morning. I have had both hips replaced so I continue to do my exercises years later. The other thing is we walk each morning (before it gets hot). BTW great loss! Belle, really liked the poem this morning. I love summer and hot weather. But, this year is pushing the limit. Hope every has a good week......Susan

We use Carnival and Celebrity laundry only for t shirts and jeans. They are rough with clothes. Holland and Princess laundries do wonderful jobs. Clothes come back on hangers and look like they've been ironed!

Good morning all! Happy to say, down 2 pounds this week! After staying the same last week it is a welcomed loss. Belle was it you talking about ironing? I iron almost everything we wear! My Mom used to iron sheets and my Dad's boxers. Our clothes are so old that they have lost all the permanent press! Some days I actually enjoy ironing. Put on a movie and iron. Almost a mindless escape while accomplishing something (neatness?😀). Hope everyone has a good week. Be careful with the walking in these extreme hear indexes! Later...Susan

So enjoyed your posts. Also appreciate the heads up regarding the vaping experiment. We are b2b in August so at least we know to prepare for it. So glad you enjoyed yourselves.

Hi Guys! Good to hear from you Belle. I just weighed this morning. Stayed the same this week. Will have to try harder. I did some baking for different people last week and that never ends well😁. Need to stay out of the kitchen. It's too hot anyway! Good luck everyone. Jan enjoy your trip!...Susan

Also had a call from Executive Office. Voiced my opinion. Wait and see....

Whoa be it to the smart a.. that says anything to me about wearing one!😁😁😁

Hi Guys! We will be on Equinox in August(14 nights) and September(14 nights) and Silhouette in November(10 nights). Our last cruise was in March. So ready to go! Not pleased about the vaping. But, hey, we have proved that we can cruise and wear a mask! I'm not too proud to do that if I have to.

Question ...I've read on another site that they are allowing vaping in the casino. Have you or did y'all experience this. When these people that posted had asked security, they were told it started this cruise. I sure hope that is not a new rule.

Hello Guys! Hot here too! But I would rather be too warm than too cold. Weight was down 1 pound this week. Would love to be down another 8 before August but it is getting harder now. Oh well, at least some of my clothes are fitting now.

Wow Izena so glad you got power back. We have lost ours a few times with all these crazy storms. Fortunately we have not had such heat with it. I have been keeping 2 year Olds for a couple of weeks. I missed last week. Today I was down 2.3 pounds after 2 weeks. Not bad for the little snacks we had! Hope to get back to my walking in the morning. Hope everyone has a good week. Good to hear from Belle.......Susan

Belle do enjoy the cruise! You may not be up to par but the time spent with family is precious. Down 1 pound this week. Would love to be down 10 more before cruising again (August). At the rate I'm going, might not happen. Just to feel good in my cruise clothes is a goal. Hope everyone has a good week!

Welcome Sebsgran! You are now part of the tribe. We usually weigh and post on Thursday. I am late due to keeping a 2 year old Grandson this week. Down 1 pound this week. I will take it! Belle I hope you get to feeling better. We need you as our fearless leader.🥰 Until later....Susan
