All a moot point. I'm in isolation for rest of cruise and we're not going on Oddysey tomorow.😪

 

GI issue, nuff said.

 

 

 

 

You or Laura?

Did your TA help you with the cancellation? Hope you somehow don't lose any money with this short notice cancellation and you have a 3 hour ride home, maybe better get a hotel in Miami for a night or 2.

So, yesterday my bad knee got worse, and this morning I couldn't walk on it. We had no choice but to have me wheeled down to medical.  They did what they could, which was to give me a wheelchair and a cane. I would like some crutches but they convinced me that was not a good idea. We have a 9 pm flight tomorrow and we're planning to do a hop on hop off tour to pass the time, but now that's out.  We may just end up spending the day at the airport.  Yikes.  I'm not sure what to do about that. Can I cry now?

  

So sorry to hear about your knee.    The right knee looks rather swollen to me.    Would an ice pack or heating pad help you? 

Hopefully you can access an airport lounge and make yourself at home for a couple hours with your leg elevated.   Good Luck!!

After all the years we have been cruising, we have never gotten our pictures taken by the Royal photographers because we just didn’t want to spend all the money just to see ourselves.

 

Now that we are Diamond and getting one free picture, we decided to have ours taken for dress to impress night.

 

Beautiful photo.   You both look lovely and very happy🥰

John, I was sorry to hear this from the group in the Music Hall.  Feel better soon.  

And again, thank you for bringing this group together, for all the goodies and all your time and energy.  Much appreciated.  
Hope to see you and Laura on another cruise before Bella #2.

All about timing what you drink and where 

 

I have over 32 witnesses for all the doubters 😇

 

Also photographic evidence 🤠

The one time I kept track of our total for free drinks we were somewhere between $1700 to $1800 for a 7 night cruise and that didn't include SL.   

we drank a lot that cruise and our livers definitely needed a break when we got home

Sorry, I was looking forward to Odyssey next week. Be better soon. At least you were able to enjoy most of this cruise that you worked so hard to plan.

John, after almost a hundred pages of great stories and pictures,  I'm sorry to read about your sour misfortune so close to the finish line.   In the grand scheme of things,  I know it is just a hicup, but I'm sure it feels pretty crappy. (No pun intended)

 

I do hope things feel better soon.

Sunday Funday 

Joggers everywhere 🏃🏻‍♂️ 

 

 

That made me sweat a little. We are have 10 am flights out of FLL coming off our Oasis cruise next month. If we get a letter like this we are toast. 😓

Honestly, (AND PLEASE DO NOT KILL ME FOR SAYING THIS!!!!) I kinda wish they'd charge $5/day to use a lounger.... it would fix the chair-hogging problem real quick-like!  

Give each lounger an ID number (or RFID tag or QR code), then you go into the app and punch in the ID number (or scan the tag/code) to "reserve" it (like you do for parking spaces in many cities) and they charge $5 to your account. 

 

If you want to switch to another lounger later in the day, you "release" your current chair and log in to a different chair (like a bus transfer, you don't get charged for the second chair provided you released your existing chair).  

They have pool attendants going around all day long picking up discarded drinkware, they could scan the unoccupied chairs as they go through and any chair with stuff on it that's not "officially reserved" gets the stuff removed and you have to go to the towel desk to pick it up.  (And if that "stuff" was just a towel, it gets turned in as abandoned and the person gets charged $25!)

The revenue from the chair rental more than covers the cost for the scanners, and the additional charge would prevent most people from hogging a bunch of chairs they're not going to use, or hogging two chairs per person (one for sun, one for shade).  

The cost for a lounger on a weeklong cruise would be $35/person, which isn't prohibitively expensive, especially since most people won't use a lounger every single day (port days, etc.).  And for a family of four where the kids will be in the pool 99% of the time, that might make the parents decide to only reserve two chairs for the adults, instead of having four chairs claimed but with only towels sitting on two of them because the kids are never in the chairs.

Or even just make it so that you only have to pay the $5 if you want to "reserve" the chair (meaning your butt isn't in the chair, but you want to keep the chair for your own use).  If people don't want to pay for chairs, they can go and SIT IN THEM.... chairs with butts in them don't get scanned by the attendants.  

If you want to go to the Windjammer and come back in an hour to the same chair, you pay the fee.  
If you want a certain chair in the front row by the pool and get up at 6am to claim it while you go back to bed for a few hours, you pay the fee.  
If you want to sit in the hot tub or pool for four hours straight and want to keep your stuff in a chair the whole time, you pay the fee.  

All it will take is a tiny bit of accountability and there won't be a chair hog problem anymore. 

(And yes, Royal should have "cubbies" set aside on each pool deck where you can set your stuff down while you're in the pool or hot tub.  Not everyone needs a chair, but they DO need someplace to set their phone / towel / sunscreen.)

An interesting idea but I would "Amp" it up to 5$ per hour.

I am so sorry that you are not feeling well.  Will you be attempting to drive home tomorrow or stay at a hotel for a few days?

I've actually got generic imodium AD if john needs it, but I assume he got something from medical. 

 

I bought a pack to put in my suitcase when I was sick in sept but havent needed it, so brand new seled. John knows where to find me. I'm across from his cabin.
