vettprincess Posted December 23, 2019 #1377 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) Dear Sid: We just got off the Encore yesterday. Thanks for all your helpful information it helped quite a bit. Beautiful subdued decor on the ship. Food great, entertainment great, staff great lots to do. But over 4500 last week and I was told by the staff captain there will be 4900 this week. Too many people and the venues are small. Lots and lots of people laying around bare feet, sleeping snoring, giving back rubs in all areas of the ol. Each to his own. But I have the best for you How about a guy with no shirt on at all sitting in the main theatre in the fancy velvet chairs for Kinky Boots show. Did not see what he was wearing on the bottom. I dare not post a photo here or I will be banned. As you probably know now Mardi Gras 8 weeks behind schedule.When will you sail on her? Happy travels to you.

Well, as some of you may know, I'm an afficianado of restrooms of the Caribbean... Well, let's just say that we've just now reached the absolute pinnacle of said genre... I mean that it was straight out of a dream... Straight out of who even knows where... And, within seconds, my life was complete... You literally had to duck your head to even get into the tiny space... I took a peek into the ladies room, and it was almost as magnificent... I'm impressed by the cleanliness! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, one of the rules I was raised with was no shoes on furniture so maybe they are just following that rule. Obviously you then need to go a step further and think to yourself that this isn’t your living room and others have to share your sweaty, smelly foot patch BUT maybe they just stop at the “no shoes on the couch “ piece..,,,,, Totally agree with you! I was wondering what would offend me more, shoes or feet. I will be on the ship in March (8-15) and will do my best not to put my feet on the lounge chairs unless i use a towel or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have several Flyby and Detoxx pills leftover from my recent Horizon cruise. I'll also be testing out a new brand called Drinkwel... You can never take too many precautions when it comes to remaining functional after days and nights filled with overindulging... (Speaking of overindulging. I have 3 different Thanksgiving dinners to go to in the next 2 days...) Hmm, Sailing on the 19th for my 50th, wondering where I can get my hands on some these? Which would you recommend?
