Mark, I am enjoying your pictures. Someone  called Mojomanny is doing a thread. We have sailed with him on the Serenade or Jewel repos a couple of times out of Boston.

My friends who had the Poster store on LBI had many movie posters .They gave me several as gifts over the years and I bought some.We have several framed .

I probably bought a bunch of posters there.  Especially when I was a teenager.

love  all these especially the first one.   You obviously have a Disney fan in the house

[aussielozzie18]

Here are the movie posters in our movie fan’s room. The smaller posters would look better framed IMO.

Apparently as a Commonwealth country, we can get a portrait of The Queen from our local member of parliament.  Daughter did this recently and now has this in her room….

A couple of years ago, daughter surprised me with plane tickets to Uluru.  Afterwards, she gifted me 3 canvases of photos from our trip.  Here is one of them (faded a little because it’s in a sunny hallway) the shadows are the camels from our sunset camel ride.

Amazing Race is starting now.  One of the teams is the couple in the Holderness Family.

 

I love The Holderness Family. I actually want to be them!! Lol. Penn is so witty and Kim is his perfect counter-balance.

 

Been watching their YouTube videos for years, even in The Before Times..

 

And when the world as we know it ended on March of 2020, there were many hilarious pandemic related songs. I posted some of them, probably on the humor thread early on.

 

My DVR is recording it. I guess I should either watch it tonight or avoid this thread tomorrow.  Lol.

They have a youtube channel and are all FB.

 

OB, if you ever have a free weekend, just go to YouTube and search their name. Paradody song videos.  Next thing you'll know,  12 hours have gone by.  Perfect for killing a rainy or snowy afternoon.

I think I must have seen a lot of the ones you posted before, they had some good ones early pandemic.  Two hour show tonight, we will try to not ruin it for those who are recording for later. 🙂

@ Arzeena

When did you do the Jewel repo's?  We did 3 of them, my husband thinks it was consective years but he could be wrong.  One was definately in 2005, or so says my "Sparkling Jewels" pin I received at our meet and mingle party back then. 

 

@h20skibumThanks for taking us along with you.

Ugh! I went to make final payment on my February cruise, but decided to check to see if there was a price drop. It showed only guarantee balconies so I checked OV and inside. Same thing and suites sold out. Since it is only showing guarantee rooms available I’m wondering if that means it’s sold out? The cruise did disappear from their website for about 4 - 5 days and just showed up again. I don’t know if I want to sail on a full ship yet if Omicron is still as rampant as it is now. Hopefully it won’t be.

The same thing happened with our February cruise (Odyssey) for a day or so, showing only guarantee  cabins.  However, late this afternoon there were even more "select your own" cabins available than before, and there was a small price drop.

Yes. We did the Serenade Repo every fall, from Boston to Florida.  Also did some on NCL. Then did the Jewel ots Repo and was booked on the Brilliance Repo but Brilliance did not happen due to cruising suspension. Serenade is my favorite of that class. We met Steve aka mojomanny at slot pulls we has organized. I am pretty sure I have cruised with many of you before, and if I see yalll ha ha, I will know.

Yes, my Wife was a big Disney fan before I met her. We have a Time Share at Old Key West in Disney and have been there more times then I can count.

Poor duck. Looks like she was affected by the Deepwater Horizon disaster.

There’s always more to the story than the header. They didn’t cancel all ships till April. Some for just a couple of weeks. The others I don’t even think were sailing yet.

Ok, I had seen that news. The post here gave the impression that the whole line shut down.

That’s how it sounded the way she posted it. I only knew different because I saw the letter that went out.

Nope. 
that is why I tried to clarify the GOOGLE post

 

Posting just a header first without more info can be misleading and confusing. That’s why the media does it to get more clicks. 🙄
