So, let's put "dye packs" inside the books, similar to the ones used in bank "bait money" - They cross the gangway after failing to have turned the book(s) back in, and the dye pack goes off, turning the inside of their suitcase purple. They won't make that mistake twice

 

Back to you Ann

They would be Smurfs for the flights home LOL

Just got caught up with all the wonderful food pictures.

 

Club Orange -- those chairs look terrible to sit in.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Dutch Cafe looks good.

And around the Lido pool - very comfortable.

 

 

Those chairs in picture #1 & #2 look really comfy.

Great pictures.  Thanks for posting them everyone.

That food looks very tasty.

And lots of comfy chairs near the pool.  What more could anyone want?

It doesn't look like your file uploaded completely or correctly. (You can't see it in the file system.) Outstanding job with all the photos though.

Thanks so much for the pictures of Club Orange. Also for pictures of the pool. The lounge chairs look really comfortable! Really appreciate all of pictures and you taking the time to answer our questions! Have a great trip.

Thanks so much for the great photos!

I love the Heineken bottle! And the bacon clothesline is unique - at least to me.

Love the wrapper on the bottle of Heineken!

I’m so glad the photos posted from Funchal.  I’m not sure what is going to happen now that we are back on board.  Perhaps I will get the upgrade for the Transatlantic and see if that is better.

I wonder if a video compression and photo compression app would help with Internet issues. I’ve been using Video Compress and Photo Compress for iOS. It makes smaller copies of files ( purposed for the screen, so they are much smaller).

just a thought....

Enjoying a great day in Funchal. My 3rd time in 2 years. Today I visited the botanical gardens, ride the cable car, tasted Madeira wine, and strolled down the street of painted doors, near the fruit and flower and fish market. The New snort and I enjoyed a glass of wine along the waterfront before walking back to the ship. Perfecto!

It is very popular, and people are saving the bottles to take home!  You will probably find them for sale on eBay!

I've been lurking since day one, and I want to thank everyone for contributing so much information.

As for the "missing" book situation, my father used to mark his records when he was a disc jockey, like this:

From scluvsrain (Sherita):

this is the video she tried to upload yesterday.  Crossing my fingers this works....

LOVE it ❤️. That might be the better sticker to have in the books 🙂

That's a shame if you have to take the more expensive package Ann.  If you do, and if it improves performance, please share.

 

And, the offer to post any pics for you if you hit issues stands.  You have my email 😉 

 

I am guessing that the issue is with the internet speed.  I got Sherita's video up and it was far less than the maximum permitted.

I had problems downloading videos last cruise too.  Had to do it in ports.  The premium package may be the answer.

[CineGraphic]

Which is correct......IS stolen, or WAS stolen?
