Those flowers have nothing to do with class of room. They have to do with your status in the Captains Club. And I've never seen them refreshed in all the many cruises on which I've received them.

I became acquainted with that phenomena after being launched from the back of an LST in a AAV during sea state 2. One guy blew chunks and the rest of the crew under hatches spontaneously reciprocated. I was on the hatch and had fresh air so escaped the trauma below. Ok, I guess CC is not for war stories so... How bout that Gelato! In other unrelated news Group 11 bus is 72 minutes from the Pier. Never tested that all aboard policy so this will be a first 🤣.

But yes, excursions booked through X are guaranteed that they wait. This port doesn't seem to be problematic anyway. We're the only ship here and its a long pier, probably don't even need a tugboat.

I do well to remember what I did last week😀 My memory isn't so good about last week, but I can remember all the way back to a family vacation to Nebraska when I was two years old. I have memories that might be earlier, but I can't put a time stamp on them like I can the Nebraska vacation. My mom always says, to this day, that my brother and I were the most well-behaved children. She points out when I was 5 and my brother was 8 and my parents were buying a car and it took the better part of two days. My brother and I just sat there, patiently, watching TV in the car dealership while our parents handled the deal. They did have ice cream in those little plastic containers with wooden spoons, so we were able to eat a few of those. I remember being bored silly, but we knew better than to do anything but sit there and be quiet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over stayed my welcome at the CPO club and forgot I had PT test the next day. I finished the PT test and went straight to the porcelain throne. Damn, I forgot to go out and look for pier runners, although we saw two people walking down the pier after 6 pm. We were getting dressed for what ended up being a fantastic dinner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was $525 for the entire cruise, not $684. Did you ever go and buy 1/2 a cake at the bakery? It's never just 1/2 the price of the whole thing. Or a half order of a menu item at a restaurant? BTW the upgrade price is $87 for Elite+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
