My sentiment exactly. I didn’t think the question was “do you care about the Platinum gift?”. Some people just can’t read, or want to share feelings that no one cares about. 🙄

Will you know what happen this week?
ladysail2 replied to RandomUser123's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I wouldn’t start going down that road….people in glass houses…. -
I’m from Canada, if that makes a difference. My most favourite drink is Strawberry Frutopia which I buy at McDonalds. They supply a paper straw, and I do buy the large sized drink. That straw is as good at the end as it was at the beginning. I might go into the restaurant and pick up a few extra for my upcoming cruise, wink wink. You might want to check them out as a comparison.

I won’t be buying the £400 bottle of wine, or the £4 bottle. Wouldn’t it be great if I can find my favourite..Clos du Bois…..and if not, I’ll just have to take a chance. Thanks for the lively discussion! 😊

Instant Latte recommendations (Mocha or Caramel)...
ladysail2 replied to tweak89's topic in Ask a Cruise Question
As IRMO12HD suggested, the purchase of a coffee card may be a good idea too. I’ve bought the cards and have enjoyed the coffees they make. My favourite is a Mochacchino (sp) with a half shot of expresso. Personally, I find a whole shot to be too strong for me. They’ll adjust things to make the coffee how you like it. A little extra chocolate syrup doesn’t hurt either..for my taste anyway. Hope you find something you like. 😊 -

That’s what I tried, the Starbucks VIA. I thought it tasted fine. It all depends on the person. I’m also in Canada so distribution may vary from your location. -

If you like the Starbucks lattes, why not buy their powdered latte mixes? It probably won’t taste as good, but might be close if you add milk or cream. -
Thank you for all that information! Majestic Wines looks like it might be worth a look too. I’ll be in Southampton for a few days.

Anyone been to Mallorca? I have a question.
ladysail2 replied to martyinmpls's topic in Spain and Portugal Ports
There is a small gift shop around the side of the cathedral that sold alot of Mallorca pearl necklaces, they were very pretty. Close by across a street was a Zara Home store where I bought the loveliest big bath towel, still use it to this day. I also enjoyed looking at all the flowers and green spaces. It certainly was a nice visit. -
I believe the Marks & Spencers in Southampton sells wine in their store at the mall. That’s where I’ll pick up a bottle.

Have travelled alot, usually cruising, in the 6 years I’ve had a PM. Have never had a Dr’s note…although I do keep the PM’s information card in my purse. Have gone through scanners without a problem unless the scanner says it’s not safe for PMs. Go every year for a PM check and all is fine. I go through the airport scanners and ship scanners without incident.

Can you take fish bowl out of Red Frog Pub?

It’s a good thing! -

ladysail2 replied to SandyR5's topic in British Isles/Western Europe
Are you saying that you could walk from the port to the Banks Mansion? I don’t quite understand the last part of your sentence. I will be in Amsterdam next year and looked at the Banks Mansion as a hotel stay. Thanks! -
Day Trip to Paris from London via Eurostar. Yea or Nay?
ladysail2 replied to klfrodo's topic in British Isles/Western Europe
And just as an extra tip…..when I’m in a country where I don’t speak the language….I bring a picture of where I’m going with the name of the place written above. It is immensely helpful to the person trying to help. Also, I always learn how to say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’. A nice smile helps too. -
Sailing in and out of Amsterdam cruise port
ladysail2 replied to prish's topic in British Isles/Western Europe
I’m glad I saw this message. My cruise out of Copenhagen was cancelled for September 2023….so I chose a cruise leaving from Amsterdam. This problem with the drought may resolve itself by next year, but it may not. Now I’m aware of changes that could be made. It’s been a couple of years now of ‘pivoting’ to suit the circumstances….and yes, we love cruising, so we accept the changes and carry on! I’ll pop in once in a while to check on the situation. -
I was in email contact with Elsbeth, and she actually remembered the day I was there. I hope to meet her again next year to show her the finished quilt top. I remembered that she was quite lovely and patient with me. I’m looking forward to my visit next year already! Thank you for the good luck!

I can give you a short, or long, detailed, or surface, introduction to quilting, LOL. Most quilts are composed of ‘blocks’, some plain, some intricate….and the ‘strips’ are the long pieces of fabric in between the blocks, or as a border around the blocks. There, basic layouts! Thank you again for your help, and all weekends are good ones! Enjoy your’s as well.

I saw that a few days ago too. Does one need a cell phone with data to set it up? I have a cell phone but no data (well maybe a teeny bit)…I don’t think I can log into CC on my phone. Can one set it up on an iPad, do you think?

You’re best to pre-purchase the specialty restaurant reservation. For the Steakhouse , it’s pretty well common knowledge that each table of two gets a bottle of wine. (Or table of one if solo).

I have two Paradise cruises booked for the Spring of 2024…..not cancelled yet. 😉

Thank you both, Dutch_Travelgirl and Mavip for all your help. I believe the mystery has been solved, and yes, I had a hard time discerning the letters of ‘blokmaat’…but it’s all making sense now. I will be back in Amsterdam in August of 2023, and will be visiting the fabric store to show them the finished quilt top. Will probably buy another kit too! It’s nice to have the memories of my visits. Thank you again, and have a great weekend! 😊

Sorry, I posted two copies of one side, here’s the other side! 😊
