Oh and I cantt forget the penny arcade,the salt water taffy making store on the ocean front, and my beloved Sea Monkeys! LOL Also we used to be able to take an amphibious seaplane from Long Beach to Catalina loved taxiing down into the ocean and landing by Pebbly Beach on Catalina Island 🙂 Edited July 11, 2023 by wearesiamese 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've spent countless days hanging out right there. My favorite spot to stage my gear is to the left along that barrier, just outside the field of this photo. I look forward to going back there to dive once we move back to being dirt-dwellers. 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted July 12, 2023 #4132 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Even when it is rainy outside and you can't go out and play, there is sunshine inside the ship with lots to enjoy and do. Keith 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Keith1010 Posted July 13, 2023 #4134 Share Posted July 13, 2023 When we were on the 2019 World Cruise when we arrived to Auckland we took a flight over to Sydney to visit our daughter and family for a few days until Serenity arrived to Sydney and we would return. On the day Sydney arrived we could see her from our hotel club lounge as we waited to head over the St. Ive Steps Wharf to take a tender over to the ship. Our family joined us for dinner at Prego. Timing was perfect as we celebrated our daughter's birthday with the delightful dinner. Only one year earlier they were on board Serenity with us and our other family for a family cruise.

Rare Keith1010 Posted July 14, 2023 #4136 Share Posted July 14, 2023 This is ironic coming from me but in case you all have forgotten guess what day it is? Yes, today is National French Fry Day. It used to be celebrated on July 13 but a proposal was made and approved to move it to the second Friday of each month. The idea is Fry (for french fries) and Fri (having it on a Friday). This is from our 2010 Crystal Symphony cruise from New York City to Los Angeles (San Pedro). We had a wager on that cruise that if some of our members came to the Fitness Center early one morning to workout with me I would have a french fry. We all got together for a french fry party. I have a photo of all of us and it includes 45 people from Cruise Critic. Keith 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't on that cruise but at the same time I was on Serenity (Athens to Rome), My main recollection of your cruise is that a very dedicated Crystal cruiser, Judith (I think Morrison) was supposed to be with you but had a severe cancer setback and had to cancel and I think passed within the next year. I think at our Meet and Mingle we all made a "Get Well Judith" banner for a group photo and it was sent over to the Symphony. Rest in Peace Judith.

At our Meet & Mingle I read something I had read a prayer to Judith I had written ahead of time. I had gotten input from Rabbi Morrie. May Judith's memory be a blessing.

Rare rafinmd Posted July 14, 2023 #4139 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Today's sunrise is from my 2018 Grand Alaska Panama trip. On July 14 I was on VIA's Canadian making our way across the Canadian Shield in Western Ontario: Roy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted July 15, 2023 #4140 Share Posted July 15, 2023 In part of the USA it is "Hot", "Hot", "Hot". This includes where I live. Some of our wildlife needs to rest more. This critter was alive and I saw him while returning from a run on the entrance of our neighborhood street. Giving the weather where we live is a piece of cake. Highs over the next seven day as they have been recently 100 to 105 with lows in the mid to upper 70's yet the weather folks end up speaking for a few minutes telling you basically nothing. While we won't be eating snake on the Serenity inaugural voyage, we do plan on enjoying Umi Uma AKA Nobu. Keith 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahahi is a Japanese beer. I believe you but I don't remember a Nobu beer. Do you know when that ws available. There was the Nobu Chardonnay. The canadian beer I am familiar with which was served on board which I enjoy and also would have from time-to-time at Umi Uma and also Tastes is La Fin Du Mond.
