Rare h20skibum Posted May 14, 2022 #101 Share Posted May 14, 2022 We had no problem getting all our preferred times, but we boarded at 11. We booked Mama Mia for day 8 afternoon. We have seen the first half many times, but plan the second half then. By the way, this is the first sailing with the new cast performing Mama Mia. It is 3:20, and 1200 guests haven’t done the safety drill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted May 14, 2022 #103 Share Posted May 14, 2022 So a strange thing happened on the way out of the cabin. We passed an older couple walking in the passageway. She was wearing a mask, but he wasn’t. As we are almost to them, he grabs his nose and holds it! What? I know it is warm, but did our deodorant stop working already? Nope, must be a way to avoid Covid exposure???? Does this method really work? Maybe the doctor will weigh in on this. 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted May 14, 2022 #105 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Here is a little better picture of the QE2 in port, near the Caribbean Princess Actually, we were looking at one of the Queens for a return trip to the US when we do our TA on Anthem next spring. Not much difference in cost than the airfare. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if was because his wife stunk and he wanted you to protect your senses. Edited May 14, 2022 by Lionesss 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of years ago I was riding my bike down the main beach road. I think it was April and the beach was empty. As I'm riding I see this woman walking on the road toward me. As I'm about to pass by her on my bike she turns away from me and covers her nose and mouth with her hand. I couldn't figure that one out any better than the situation you just described. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WE actually docked right behind her in Malta, she was on her last revenue voyage. WE were on Navigator , and boy was she small compared to our ship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was when my wife was asking how many drinks I had so far. 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sea calls my name Posted May 14, 2022 #111 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Following. My DH and I are doing this cruise in October and we are very excited about finally getting to Aruba and Curacao . For those of you who have been to Aruba or that are on this cruise, I am looking for a great spot within easy walking distance from the ship to watch the sunset in Aruba. I remember pictures that Twangster posted that were beyond amazing, but can't find that thread or remember where on the island he took them. Thanks, Virginia Lea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted May 14, 2022 Author #116 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I like new updated cruise compass. Now I do not know if I got it because I’m old or because we’re in a suite. This is the one and only time I will post this. here they are but maybe out of sequence. damn. not doing that again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckynana Posted May 14, 2022 #118 Share Posted May 14, 2022 3 hours ago, Lionesss said: We were booking our shows by 11:30am. And we could not get Mama Mia. ????????? So we are going to ask the concierge what that is about. Unless they do not take reservations. But they keep telling you on the APP. To make your reservations. When we were booking all of the shows, for some reason the young man helping us said we could only get the afternoon show (last show on this cruise). So, we waited until the last show, the only one in the afternoon. We got there, they didn't need to see our reservation; they weren't looking at anyone's reservations, anyone and everyone was welcome to attend this showing. We would've preferred to see the play (which is awesome, btw!) at one of the evening shows. Perhaps we could have, if we just showed up?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I was highly upset that they didn’t open the doors to cabins til 1:01, when the sign said 1:00. Walked to our cabin, and our as yet undamaged new blue suitcases were already there. By 1:33, both cases unpacked and everything in its place. Of course, it helps when you pack everything on hangers. We had a little mix up. DW handles ours and friends bookings. When she printed our luggage tags she printed out their room number. 😆 Lucky they were only two doors down! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted May 14, 2022 #121 Share Posted May 14, 2022 We must not be old. No cruise compass for us. Just the show schedule and info for the DL. Top tier event is tomorrow. We have a Next cruise appointment in the morning to book one or three more cruises. Depends on how much I get carried away. Dinner in the MDR tonight. They are seating you with others. There were four at our six top, with two no shows. Escargot Prime Rib warm chocolate hazelnut cake oh, and a Boston ice tea. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like that prime rib was cooked with a match. Sure didn't have that on the heat long. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of our table mates had the jerk pork chop, which he said was very good. May have to try that the night they repeat this menu. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
