Hard disagree. SIX is a great show. I can get if you’re not a fan of pop music, though. 

I’m a fan of good music of all types. SIX is my idea of crap.  If it works for you, than enjoy! 😎

How is the champagne holding up? I upgraded for the Veuve but have read they have had runs on the ‘good’ stuff. 
 

I am a single malt* and champs enjoyer usually at home .. however, if I see Blanton's that will be my call. It’s still so hard to find in Seattle. Slowly coming back, trying to gather horses for my boozy Xmas tree. 

*do they have any hidden rare, single malt,  secrets not listed? I can’t exited about macallan or Johnny walker -any label. 🫣🥱

I didn’t spot any single malts, but Black Label is my go to and they have plenty.   Also plenty of Wild Turkey and Bulliet. 😎

It’s all a step up from the $10 Evan Williams and Tall Boy of Rainier for my normal ‘cheap’ happy hour. Cheers, mate.

It was.  The beef was forgettable.  Unlike the fillet in Ocean Blue on Monday. That was delicious. I asked the server before ordering.  Always a good plan with NCL steaks.  
 

bonus content:  with the cancellation of Pricilla, Six is now the official @ChiefMateJRKworst NCL show. 😎

You didn’t like Six????

 

it’s ok. I still like you and I have bubbles for you when we end up on a ship together!

[pc_load_letter]

Six put me to sleep.

You know what day it is?  Well…do ‘ya?

 

It’s the day before SAILAWAY.

 

Because of a prior commitment this evening to my darling sister, I can not fly out until tomorrow.

 

I know….I know….doom and gloom posts can begin here.

 

But, just got word that Delta upgraded me to first class.  Weather looks clear.  So, something is going right.

 

What that also means is double and triple checking my packing and lists.

 

 

-DL2061 from CVG to DTW-6:05 a.m. departure

-DL0857 from DTW to SEA-8:30 a.m. arrive SEA 10:37 a.m.

 

Pre booked transport to the pier.  All carry on so no waiting for luggage.  Everything looks on time

After a day of drinking on the ship I fell asleep in Burn the Floor (which I loved).  So sleeping is not always a sign of a bad show.  LOL

Brave or Stupid....I answer to both.

 

I feel good about flights and punctuality right now. 

 

I'll be at the M&G.  Just printed up the name tags to bring along.

LOL. I did really enjoy Jersey Boys.  Much better music and story.  I last saw it in 2018, so didn’t remember a lot.  

[drumming cruisers]

We didn't like Six either. 

[ChiefMateJRK]

I’m strongly considering refusing to end my cruise and joining you folks next week.  Hmmmmm….  How would that work,  🤣

JUST DO IT

[YVRteacher]

My dad loves Jersey Boys too.  It’s his kind of music.  He also uses the word “crap” when describing musicals that are not to his liking.  He said crap a lot when we saw Mean Girls in New York.  He also used it for Hamilton.  I didn’t speak to him for the rest of the night after that one!😂

I still remind one of friend’s about their criticism of Hamilton.  It was probably one of the top 2 or 3 live musicals I’ve ever seen…probably make a case for top 2.

Are you aware of the Port of Seattle's Port Valet Program.  Depending on your flight departure and airline, you might qualify.  The program is a FREE service of the Port of Seattle.  If you qualify, you will recieve full information.  The day before you return to Seattle, you will get luggages and your boarding pass.  Luggage is offloaded, sent directly to your airline and you picked at your final airport destination.  From the ship, you go directly through security and to your gate.  It saves time and hassles.

 

Enjoy your cruise.

Just ask at Guest Services, or better yet buy cruise next certs and use them! If they are not sold out...🤩

Thanks friend. CN won’t help if I’m already booked and paid. 😎  I was just screwing around. It was past time for this 🐀 to experience the double pleasure.  We may need to talk to a new friend about joining the pack.

I'm good with that! The more the merrier! Enjoy your second leg! B2Bs are the BEST! I'll be jumping on the Prima in a week - doing a LIVE review for @Sailing12Away and others.
