I am so sorry for what you have gone through; but, if it were me, at this age, I would want some closure. You are a wise woman and will do what you feel is right. Best wishes. Thanks. I found my bio-mother back in the early 90s, and while that relationship is pretty cold (she's an alcoholic), I've been lucky to have a good relationship with my half-brother and his family and an aunt. I don't think bio-mom ever had a clue which guy was the "donor"... too many options to choose from. I'm so glad that most adoptions are "open" these days. A lifetime of not knowing should be considered cruel and unusual punishment. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine that they would not provide extra towels if asked for. I need fresh towels for each shower and if by some chance a steward said no I'd be making a lot of noise. However, I don't foresee that happening. We shower twice a day too. On our last 8 cruises we have kept our steward out of our cabin and I always make sure we have sufficient towels myself from the steward. Our cabin stewards have been happy because it is less work for them and they still get our tip for leaving us alone unless we need something like the trash can emptying or toilet rolls. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aussielozzie18 Posted February 25, 2023 #86879 Share Posted February 25, 2023 @Sunshine3601 sorry about the skin cancer on your scalp. Hope you are healing. @jagsfan Congratulations to your granddaughters on their engagements. Their fiancée’s chose great locations for the proposals. Have an enjoyable cruise on the Wonder. @sea2shiningsea your day out on the boat looked great. Lovely photos. @bobmacliberty nice photos of the Golden Gate bridge. Liked all the different angles. DD would not agree that you can’t take a bad photo - the day they were there it was completely shrouded in fog… 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted February 25, 2023 #86881 Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) We saw lots of beautiful birdlife up close. I was very excited to see an Australian kestrel hovering directly above me as I walked up the steps from one of the beaches… Somehow I managed to turn the Australian Kestrel into a Chinese spy balloon when I took the photo 🤦♀️ 🤣🤣 Edited February 25, 2023 by aussielozzie18 1 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even asked in the main dining room if I could get it in the mornings and they accommodated me every morning. I was sure I had misspelled, guess I should have googled it before I typed it. Happy to hear they will serve in MDR too. I love WJ for breakfast but Eric prefers Breakfast in the dining room so we split it every cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted February 25, 2023 #86891 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Good morning Woke upto a dusting of snow on the ground and a brisk 29F. We are anticipating another warm up in the 40's and wet rainy weather over the next few days. On another note. I am so glad I was able to retire. Now being busier than ever, I do not know how I got anything done when I worked. It is our Lenten Season. Now being of that age that fasting is not required--I still try to eat by the guidelines. No meat on Fridays, and only 2 meals a day (depending which recommendation you follow). In addition, we try to start a new way of living, by changing your life style for a healthier start to a new way of life. Some give up alcohol, chocolate, smoking, ............. I really do not drink that much, and I can avoid chocolate, and I do not smoke. But for me, I try to do something for me as well as make someone else happy. In the past I have paid for school meals for children. I have surprised those I know with lunches, beauty shop, pedicure place, friends. The hardest one I ever did was give "up" elevators for lent. I did the stairs. Then at work I was put on the Obstetrical assignment to do epidurals on women in Labor. And although it was only a few floors up, I think everyone in the city had their baby that day. up and down, up and down, up and down. I set the record for most epidurals in one week. The first day I was winded, and my legs hurt. But I persevered. This year is no different. Increasing my walking, delivering homemade lunches. Last night I worked the take out room at our church fish dinner. I was present for prep from 8-10:30am Then returned at 2pm And was on the "line" as the bread girl, placing bread and butter in carry out containers. Was done at 6pm When I got home, Lizzy the cat was my best friend. I smelled like fish (Cod to be exact) Everything is consistently made, nothing goes under warmers, it goes from fryer or oven, to carry out containers as people wait for the fresh fish to go. I stopped working the sit down hall, because of too many volunteers tripping over one another. It never felt so good to shower, and then put my feet up. I was tired. Today hitting a sale at the mall, then mass tonight and out to dinner with friends. Itailen tonight. I think I am in the mood for Chicken Francois.

This our first time in a suite where the ship has a CK Just got my letter from Oasis Concierge and want to get my dining preferences for the UDP/CK in as early as possible. Before we board, we send back to the concierge the days we would like to eat in CK, excluding whatever days we have specialty dining. We include our time. When we board and have some down time we go to CK and ask to see the dinner menus for the week. Their are 2 we are not really fond of. Sometimes the App has the meal days jumbled. Once we determine which days they are then decide if we will go to MDR, or WJ. WJ being a last choice. One of my favorite meals is the turkey dinner in the MDR. As far as breakfast, we usually eat in CK about 3 mornings. And then go to JR or WJ, and occasionally have room service. Which usually happens on Coco Cay or Labadee, where ever the private island stop is. Enjoy Be safe 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
