They could have offered an extra 20% discount!

@Ozark_Kid, John, they're both so adorable 😍

 

Our first stop was Katakolon (Olympia). We've already visited once, so this time we took a bus (10 Euro pp return), which took us to Olympia, we had 2 hours to roam, and then back to the port. It was a very HOT day [actually, like all the other stops, but this one was with almost no shade].

 

We saw the site of the Olympic stadium

 

 

and other remains

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My daughter took some of the same pictures earlier this week. 
When I was there I jogged the length of the field so I could add myself to the Ancient Olympian list. Being ancient!

I think Santorini is my favorite place in the whole world. How was the crowd to get on the cable car going down. I have heard of massive crowds waiting forever to get on.

 

Last time it was awful. I think we were more than 2 hours in plain sunshine.

 

This time was much more reasonable -- less than an hour, for 2 reasons -- less ships in port and many were on ship excursion and given vouchers for the cable car [like us]. So instead of paying/counting cash/credit card/whatever, they just scanned our vouchers....

I used a couple of those soft squeezy things that were given out a advertising. Like my Cabot cow. 
more interesting than a rubber ball!

I was answering a comment about Andy maybe playing cards to exercise his fingers!

 I can match your mice story. We had a Lab that ate everything.She was very fast and good at catching things, including squirrels, which we would find in the house, sometimes only half a squirrel. I was able to stop her at the door and she swallowed the entire squirrel while we watched in horror. After eating her wide variety of "foods" she would usually vomit . One night my husband found a pile of vomit only to yell for me because she had eaten an entire family of mice. Closer inspection revealed that our teenage daughter had not closed their bathroom door and it was a pile of regurgitated used tampons.

Carnival folks laughing at us now.

I don't think you can do this on an iPhone using the built-in tools.  You'll need a third-party app like Photoshop Express, Lightroom Mobile, or Facetune (or many others).  I mostly use LR and it has the ability to auto select the subject.  It does a very good job of this but you can also manually define the background, or edit what the app automatically selects.  Not as easy as an Android phone automatically knowing the subject from a pic in portrait mode, but you've got the full suite of selection and editing tools to adjust either the subject or the background in many ways.  Don't worry...Apple will put the black and white background ability into an iPhone software update soon and call it something new and different, showing how much more they innovate than Android. 🤣

 

I need to play around with that auto select. I wonder if the new iPhone 14 will have it?

Thanks,  I use a Samsung S21 Ultra.  I am still learning more about it.  My brother just tried it on a Samsung Note 9 and it didn't work.

 

That's what I was thinking you had. Very nice feature.

I've heard so many horror stories. I get real nervous about making it back on the ship on time. I was there where other ways to get down from the cliff.

I showed Linda the video of Carnival and remarked glad we don't sail on Carnival, Royal is so much more civilized. I guess not. I sure hope they all got booked at the next stop.

[mets07]

My family never had a cat or dog my entire life. And after the last few pages..... whew. I know I'm pretty much a city girl, but YUCK and OMG.

At least the Carnival fight was over a 3-way

 

No idea on this one

 

Did the video work for you

Another stop we've been before and thoroughly enjoyed it was Santorini. We were pleasantly surprised to find 200$ OBC from Celebrity, and used 110$ to book the transfers through the ship.

 

Last time we relied on a private company for the transfers to Oia, and it took ages until they completely filled the boat. I didn't want to sit in an enclosed boat at this Covid time, and it turned out that it was a wise decision, since Celebrity took us through another route, we saw more of Santorini, and all the experience was better organized. Price wise -- private company -- 60 Euro + 12 Euro for the cable car, versus 110$ with Celebrity -- not a bad deal....

 

Look at the various colors --

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

... and, our "dingy" is patiently waiting ...

 

 

Amazing photos of Santorini Dani.

I think there needs to be another reaction, besides “thanks” “funny” and “like”.

Perhaps 🤢?

Yes it did work for me. I heard it was all over a 3-way. Kinda made me laugh thinking "How is this going to end up?" If you find out any more info let us know. I love good gossip.

We have had many birds caught and brought into the house.    The last bird Sparky caught  was flying circles in living room and dining and pooped all over my coffee table....Gross!     

[lenquixote66]

My daughter who is going on the cruise tomorrow went shopping for us and brought the food to our house.She said that her husband is going for skin cancer surgery later this month.I had no idea that he had the problem.

A few minutes after she left my Dermatologist called with the results of the  4 biopsies he took on Monday.Three were okay but the fourth is Squamous  cell Carcinoma.I have an appointment for a Consultation with the Surgeon on July 14.I have had this form of skin cancer before .

I don't expect to change (not everyone is meant to be a pet-owner/ parent), but it is evident how much you all love your pets!!

[OnTheJourney]

Wow...you guys are still going. 2,535 pages. Astounding. Haven't been on CC for a bit so figured this thread was still chugging away. Have to wonder....will this turn out to the longest ever on CC?  Will it go on for AS LONG as CC is even still here??!?!?!

I realized that didn’t sound quite as tongue in cheek as I had intended.
