jig Posted May 20, 2016 #1702 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Years ago they would take the navigation chart and have the crew sign it and auction it off for charity. They don't do that anymore. At least I have not seen that in a while. Maybe they could sell the days of the week mats. Wonder if anyone has ever taken one of them?

Is that what was in the package? Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really awesome. Hope your foot's feeling a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilvertoGold Posted May 20, 2016 #1707 Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) Just remembered your post about the Captain's Farewell Reception on the World Cruise. Did you or Gene post that 5 minutes video that was such a hit? Would love to see it, but am not finding it. Thanks!

(Slow rural internet connection hasn't yet let me load the video). I expressed interest and toward the end of the cruise they asked me to make a sealed bid with proceeds to the crew fund. They had 2 mats....top 2 bids got the mats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise NH Posted May 21, 2016 #1718 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I have a question about cabin selection. I think you had a balcony cabin, did you get noise from below? It looks like all public spaces below you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rafinmd Posted May 21, 2016 #1719 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Thank you for the picture. I'm glad to hear the money went to the crew fund, what a deserving cause. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like all public spaces below you. Zero noise from below.....only noise was from above when they moved deck chairs - and that was when they were cleaning out there - maybe once a week or so, and then only during the day.
