We were on a cruise immediately following a nudist cruise once. I think that one was a full charter. I couldn't see them having regular passengers mixing with the nudists...

Yumyum boy is back - at least he was on the Eurodam a month ago. Just on the dressy nights.

It seems a shame you miss all the fun because of your dinner time. Can you not change your dining time on those special event evenings so you can participate in the fun?

Koningsdam, Rotterdam, and Nieuw Statendam all have the big screen at the Lido pool. During the day, there is just a boring screensaver on it. They could put the daily program up there, or the ships location, or a slideshow from the photography department, or the weather report. So many things they could do with that screen.

We were on this deck, but on the Eurodam. Basically the same ship. We loved it. One flight of stairs down to the Lido deck, and one up to the Crows nest. Minimal movement, but then the seas were quite calm in the western Caribbean. Here we are sailing in to Nassau.

Sounds like the beancounter who dreamed this up didn't think it through.

I was at HMC day before yesterday. Construction has begun (just). Expected completion is November 2025.

Knottage. PS I made that up🤣

They have done away with the staggered boarding times.

I do that too. My adapters also have usb outlets built in to them. Very handy.

I have observed declining situational awareness at the retirement home where my mother lives. I think it's part of the aging process unfortunately. There are many there in their high 80's and 90's. Even a couple over 100. Watching them all heading to the dining room for a meal is something else! It's like rush hour on the 401. If you've ever driven on the 401, you'll know what I mean.

I found the chat to be a bit of a joke. I would type something, send it, and then I'd get a reply asking if I was still there. After going back and forth like that a few times I just gave up and called.

And racecars!

Easy way to know you're going the correct way on the promenade: whenever you have to turn, it's to the left. My pet peeve is people who stop and block the path for everyone else. They're usually oblivious. this happens on land too. Often a the top of an escalator I find.
