Haha! Yep, I get it! Tom and I are doing ok. He just had a long stent placed in his heart due to 2 blocked arteries, one of which was 95% blocked (widow maker)! He just started some heart rehab therapy but says he feels a lot better. I'm dealing with a darn UTI, along with my usual weight issues, which has lead to not being able to walk very far or stand very long. I know, motion is lotion, but, that's pretty hard to do when pain is involved. No worries though cause I won't ever give up; one day at a time; one step at a time. We both still enjoy our cruises, even if we don't get off the ship as much! Been there, done that anyway! We enjoy those port days when most get off and we have the pools/hot tubs to ourselves! Hope we get to see you on another cruise! BTW, I love that picture of your view at home!! Absolutely beautiful!! Take care cruise buddy!! Sal

We always like the free breakfasts at Johnny Rockets (on ships that have that). Not sure if they are even still doing that but will find out on our next cruise! If not, then we prefer the MDR to avoid the mob in the WJ.

Before each cruise, I tell myself that I am going to stay up later to experience the night life on board. As of yet, I haven't been able to stay up later than 10pm. Guess I'll never know what happens after that.😏

Ahh, I did not know that! I pre-booked CT for our anniversary in October on Mariner, which falls on the first day that we board as a surprise for DH. When we go to the restaurant, do you think we can apply the BOGO at that time and either get one dinner refunded or maybe get the 2nd night's dinner free? I don't want to cancel the pre-purchased reservation and wait until we board for fear that they may not have availability at CT for our anniversary. Thoughts? TIA!

I usually buy the "refreshment package" which includes all (even frozen) no alcohol drinks. The Cafe Promenade makes a great caramel macchiato!!

For Port Canaveral, we usually use the Radisson to stay one pre-night, park our vehicle there, and use their hotel shuttle to the port, just a few minutes away. Very easy!

You will need passport, proof of vaccination, credit card info, and check-in info for your sea pass filled out on-line before you get to terminal (takes a bit longer if you don't do that beforehand). You are allowed 2 bottles (750ml) of wine per room to enjoy in your room. We don't stay up past midnight to sign in early; I just book my time whenever I get up that morning and usually get a morning time slot but it's up to you. Yes, I use my PC as well! Happy cruising!! Cheers!!

I booked Chef's Table for the first time for our anniversary this October on Mariner. Can anyone tell me where it is held on the Mariner? TIA!

Talk about glitches .... I just signed in to My Cruise accounts (10 cruises booked) and all of them say that I have no balance due! What? Sure wish that were true but I assume it will get corrected at some point. Just hope they don't cancel them!😲
