That's Cute! I think we used Zazzle, when we (as a group) had T-Shirts made for a cruise: https://www.zazzle.com

The refuge uses Bonfire custom tees.  I am not sure about prices etc.  I do know the tees and sweatshirts are really good quality, very comfortable and last a long time.

Thanks for those.  I will have to look into them.  We are looking for something nice and soft.  It will probably be on a light blue shirt.  Looks nice on that background.

When do you have planned to cruise Utopia. 

We are on August 2nd.  I think it may be the 4th sailing.  Then Susan and I will take our California grandson to the Disney parks for a week.  Daughter and her family rented a house at the beach for after the cruise, since they have been to Disney a couple times in the past year or two.  Then we meet in Orlando to all fly home together.

Manhattan should adopt Aruba's slogan... One Friendly Island.😊

Staten Island is One Friendly Island!!!!! We are the forgotten borough and like it that way.  Manhattan can pick on us all it wants😃

That looks familiar, except Daryl was being a camera hog in mine. 
 

 

 

If this is Oasis, I see our cabin in 5 weeks from now.

Well, you’d be welcome here too!  (Of course, you’d be promptly neutered at either place…)

 

 

Already happened, so once more would not be a problem.😂

No, that was Symphony in December.

 

Nice view from up there.   The deck plans for the new Utopia doesn’t show any facing aft. 
 

Deck 18

 

Except maybe 17630

 

Deck 17

After reading about everyone's adventures on their current sailings, it's finally our turn.  We leave tomorrow to fly to Miami for Friday departure on 9-night Explorer sailing.  It's been quite a few years since we've been on that ship, but love the Freedom class ships.

Bon Voyage!  Have a wonderful time on your cruise!🛳️

What deck is the Js you got assigned? Deck 7 not so good.

We were quite happy with our Deck 7 JS Aft on Liberty.  Just sayin...

I've seen YouTube videos... I think we will be fine 🙂 

Smoke bothers me.  Dave, I don't recall any issues with regard to cigarette smoke while staying in our JS Aft.  You are going to have a blast on your cruise!

Why is deck 7 not so good or was it just your cabin that happened to be on deck 7?

We didn't care for where the deck 7 JS aft cabins in the middle facing the wake were set way back into the hull of the ship.

 

The 2 corner cabins on the aft on deck 7 are great though( different category though,not Junior Suites have, large balconies allowing you a 270 degree views.

You are missing the best part of the day. I didn't get to bed until 12:30 this morning but still had to get up.

Yes the cabin is fine for the extra space for only $300,as far as that goes can't beat that.

 

I'm wondering now with Royal Up,does it work like Gty's......should you see another JS become available say mid ship could you switch to that for free like you can do with Gty's?

I couldn’t find out if I wanted since this cruise has been sold out for a couple of weeks.  Balconies and suites have been sold out for months. That’s why getting this was such a shock.

I thought you were doing an AI instead of cruising?

We departed Curaçao 1 hr ago. Two sea days coming up.

While back alert  emails from CC stopped for reactions or reply to my posts. I really  think it's a good thing.Just clutters up my inbox for my emails.

 

Now I just get the alerts up in the right hand corner of the page and check them there. So this way works better for me. Hope it stays like that.

They must have got turned off in your notification settings. I have all mine turned off. I don’t need email clutter.

When you stay up that late do you have to set an alarm to wake up to see the sun rise?

She is already getting bigger.  She was very thin and hungry when she showed up so maybe that is why she looks small for her age, plus the tapeworms.   She is starting to play now so feeling stronger.

We had a stray that had tapeworms and the vet gave her the medicine. OMG, later there was a HUGE pile of spaghetti on the floor. Her tiny body must have been loaded with them. This was her the day we caught her and immediately took her to our vet.

 

 

 

This was Lilo several years later. We think she was the runt of the litter because she was so tiny and she is still petite. We had lost Keiki to cancer and said we weren't going to get another cat for a while. About 3 months later Mike was at Cleveland Clinic for PT and she had shown up there a few days prior. That was all it took. 😍  🐈‍⬛

Mom is hanging in there, thanks for asking. 🙂  She is still living on her own and doesn't want to move because she is comfortable.  We will never get her closer until there is some crisis that forces the issue.  

 

I hope the weather in FL starts cooperating for you so you can get to the beach!  We are supposed to be 60 degrees up here on Saturday.  Strange winter!
