when from the hose yep and yours did too if you did it in the 60's. which I am pretty sure you did. But if that's what you like.

As a child I did that. I think after that taste of rubber ( blech) hose I never drank tap again. LOL, but if you like it go for it.

I also only drink bottled/carton water, and I have tried the Flow brand on the ship, ( bought some at home) it is a great tasting water. Ship water is fine for some, I don't drink tap water, anywhere. if they ask at a restaurant if I want water I politely say no thankyou, if they bring it anyways it is left full on the table, I usually turn my water cup over so it cannot be filled. The package is less if you gift it, than if you out right buy it, outright it is 59.00+ for 24 liters, on a gift it is $49.00 for 24 liters. Just some information.

46 and 165 !!

I've always ordered them as naked wings, then I get a side of Ranch/Italian or such to dip them in. So flour was never an issue for me to not have on them.

Is it inflatable??? 😉

I recall always seeing chips on the buffet line, has that changed? Abet they had to fill that and the French fries every 15 minutes.

When we cruise with the family, I have to really forget that I am "the mom" when they as many drinks as they do sometimes. My heart is saying "should you be drinking that much," my head says" not your monkey not your circus" the struggle is real... 😉

Book the epic problem solved. 😉

what a doll. I had a black, noir, miss him.

This this this, we have Nectar mattresses and adjustable bases, I will dearly miss that. I use to miss my kitty(s) but presently we are pet-less since our last fur baby passed away a year or so ago. Once we are done cruising we will get a few senior fur babies.

I am bring some with me on our next cruises as we get to drive to the ports!! woo hoo. The finger lake wines are the best!

Thank you, We are driving to the port so no flight to worry about, I will be able to get a water urn off the internet that is certified. but will check with a funeral home too. Did you buy the flowers on the ship or carry them on? We are going as a family so they will all want to be there. We aren't religious so that would not be needed as far as prayers etc.

and yet this is based on the actual person and her life and memories. She lived across from the ocean so this is totally respecting her person.

Well to each their own, but neither left any specific desires, so it was left up to me. She never believed in the "better place" thing. She was always one to say, if you're dead you're dead. So in the thought I think her childhood stories is what lead me to the sea again. She literally lived across from the ocean in Australia until her first husband died in WW2, (shot by a sniper), she came here to meet his family ( he was a marine and born here) and never went back home. Became a citizen. But her stories of what fun they had in the sea is my go to. My father died too suddenly to have made any arrangements, heart attack and 2 days and gone. So again it was left up to me what to do with the remains. I have more respect than to mix with cat litter, he was a veteran too, so he at least deserves to be placed somewhat respectfully. This is my answer to both.

Yu do however need permission, of where. I too looked it up out of curiosity. I know that it is actually 3 nautical miles here, but will be doing it off their ship so will abide by their rules. 🙂

I did indeed try a search, their search engine is difficult at best and sucks at worst LOL. I have the death certificates or can get the one I don't have, and the containers they came back in ( they were both donate to science for 2 years per their requests) that has it attached to them) and will be getting water dissolvable eco approved urns or envelopes for them each, They were not together in life at the end, so will not be together in death if I can arrange it. Other wise I will do one in December and one in April of 2023 on a different cruise. If you can find these threads ( I cannot after many tries) please feel free to post them I would greatly appreciate that.

Thank you this indeed tells me I have to make a call to them not just an email. Thank you for the condolences, it has been years now since either passed away, but it is just time to give them a place of final rest and not my closet or "mantle" ( it is actually a ginger jar in a glass cabinet) and not leave this task to my daughters. Dh and I have already expressed we would lie this done for us if they could,

This is actually illegal to do, so not an option. The rules are 3-12 nautical miles off shore. Many countries would have not appreciated doing that. But thank you for the reply.

Hi, there, I'm actually juju2454 the tia was thanks in advance 😉 Memorial Service Flower and/or Human Ashes Mar 28, 2019•Knowledge INFORMATION The disposal of flowers and/or human ashes at sea in accordance with MARPOL, EPA and other Company policy is permitted. Natural, not artificial flowers and cremated ashes may be disposed at sea beyond 12 nautical miles from the nearest land. Flowers and/or flower arrangements should have no plastic wrappers, ties or frames attached. A small amount of wire or non-plastic string would be permissible to hold it together. Ashes may be scattered overboard or discharged in a bio-degradable urn only (no plastic or metal urns). The above applies to all international vessels and all seas at 4 nautical miles. Pride of America never reaches 12 nautical miles, so no requests for this will be approved.

NOTE: Memorialization’s of this type cannot be performed in the Canadian waters including their Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Canadian waters to 200 nautical miles. Requests must be submitted to the Special Events Department via email.

That's kinda where we are at this point. with both my parents. I have them both, and it is a "there's _____. My mother grew up across from the ocean in Australia, and told us stories about her days then. It seems fitting. My father I just kinda got "stuck" with because other sibs were angry with him( I wasn't thrilled) but I can't just make a funeral home hold him for ever( and here they legally have to I found out) So for me this is a good way to move them to a place of rest and not leave it for my daughters to have to deal with. They will be there for this release.

I am trying to wade through the requirements to do this. I would like to do it in December on our cruise at Xmas. Anyone done this that can help me through it? NCl just sent a generic reply of which I have no true understanding. TIA

We did a xmas through NYE cruise, yep the decor remains up throughout the cruise, and we had a blast. We are doing one the same dates this year. Yes people did dress up for both Xmas and NYE but especially NYE.

I think this is why they have to put warnings on dish soap with lemon in it so you don't put it in you tea...

We get Passover Coke here in our area, with the yellow cap, but we have a distributor near by and a Grocery line that is heavily based in Jewish foods and drinks. So kosher coke is here every year and I stock up on it when it is, Definitely a different taste like the Mexican coke. We can get that here too in NY
