Or the Owners of the ship got a better higher offer for the sale last minute and went with the other company (Celestyal Cruises)which eventually were the ones that bought the ship?

 

Rug pulled out from under them?

 

So there was actually a ship for this cruise.

Maybe, but I’d counter with the following to that possibility.
 

If the seller of the ship actually did that, after checking with their legal team, I’d be amazed. The law suit against them would be very large if that was the case for lost revenue, bad PR etc.

 

They would have had to sell the ship for a whole lot more to make up for the lawsuit.

Possibility for sure, but other countries laws leave a lot to be desired. Guess we may never know what  really happened. Don't believe it was a scam though.

 

They do run other cruises in Europe presently.

Looks yummy!    What did you use for your dipping sauce?    Tempura works great on veggies too.   this past summer I made it tempura zucchini and squash.    

Thanks. Tempura Zucchini is good, too. We use small bowls Kikkoman Tempura Dipping Sauce and lemon juice in another. Bill likes a Remoulade sauce in his bowl☺️

 

I feel like a prepper, stockpiling supplies. 🙄 Kikkoman Tempura Sauce is hard to find anymore, so I just bought 12 bottles of it online. Along with 24 dry packages of Lawry's Au Jus Sauce mix for French Dip Sandwiches.

 

I have certain products that I really like. I am always sad when they go away. S&W Teriyaki Sauce was an amazing product. I didn't buy enough before it was gone. And I still miss Quaker Puffed Wheat and Puffed Rice. I have to buy them online now, too, from Arrowhead Mills, through various sellers.

next weekend we will be in Park City, UT for my cousins wedding. I went shopping with her yesterday to see if I could find a dress but decided to stick with one I have from a 2019 cruise instead. i tried on my outfit last night just to be sure it still fit. 

 

I’ve never been to Utah, so really looking forward to it. First wedding “single” as well. Hopefully I’m not an emotional mess, but I think it’ll be good.

 

 

The dress is gorgeous, and you look lovely Crystal. ☺️ But I think you are going to need a wrap or a small jacket, though...just because it is Park City, Utah. At least going into or out of the venue. It is going to be freezing cold. You have been in Florida for a while. Have a wonderful time! Do you still have any Colorado clothes?

Have you ever taken P@Os Barbados winter cruises ? 

Several friends have taken Saga cruises which they all rave about. They are very expensive but everything seems to be included, including chauffeur transfers from home to port

We were booked on P&O Azura Caribbean and TA for March 2020 but it was cancelled because of world events.

We were on Oasis Jan/Feb 2023 out of Miami with pre and post cruise stays in a hotel on Miami South Beach and had a weeks hotel stay in Orlando Florida in October.

Saga doesn't appeal to us as we do a lot independently plus I like our high loyalty on RCL,Princess and P&O perk's.

I hope you are both well and have some great cruises to look forward to.

That is the truth.  25.99 for December cruise, 28.99 for January cruise, and the going rate for the one in August is 31.99.  Looks like they will continue to raise it, because people can’t disconnect.

Missed the past few days, because we have been busy with our grandkids.   Trying to catch up before they wake up this morning.

 

 Hope everyone is doing well.
