Is that a broken window - top right?

Love the "water babies."

Life boat. They were a pleasant surprise.

[BlerkOne]

We are really booking it. Going over 20 knots in fog. I heard some about a medical situation going on.

[BlerkOne]

I think they just hit the brakes and thrusters

I notice you’re in a cove balcony; how’s are you liking it? Do you notice any noise from the restaurants/galley upstairs?

We love cove balconies. There is no restaurant/galley or for that matter life boat above us. We have had cove balconies on every ship that has them. Yes, some might have issues but the same is true of every cabin class.

Where do the supplies for the "boat" building contest come from?

May I ask your cabin number?

I just booked cabin 8484, corner aft wrap, I am wondering if the door to the stairway next to the cabin is close to the entrance door to the cabin, I think it might be a crew door, wondering about noise.  Thanks for adding in cat pics, I think I ended up booking this ship because of them.  Here are two of my sweet previous rescues, we miss them.

Thank you for taking us along on your voyage!

[Cherries Jubilee]

Thank you so much for taking us with you and giving us so much information! I don’t particularly like booking cruises without knowing what I’m getting in to but I booked Venezia as soon as it launched. I’m really looking forward to it thanks to these reviews!

@BlerkOne Also interested now that you're no longer using it, lol. The coves w/nothing above are sometimes hard to identify on the deckplans. Thank you!

BlerkOne must be busy with the cats!

I just booked 2295.  Based on my research, I think that one has minimal (if any) obstruction from lifeboat overhang.

Love the cats.

 

I'd say the door is close, but I doubt there is much traffic.

Those don't look like just pens - they look like also double as stylus. 

Is the pair listed on ebay or did you break them apart, 😆 🤣

It is really just one pen, flipped over to show the other side. I saw someone at guest services using one and commented on it. They went into the office and came back with another one and gave it to me.

 

Someone later told me they were selling them in one of the shops, but without the writing. Not sure where it is right now, but I would never sell it on eBay.

Awe, that was nice of them to give it to you. It really does look like a stylus.

I got this a couple years ago on my first cruise at start up. I use it a lot - it lives in the pin loop on my tablet; the stylus is very handy for the tablet.

nowhere near as cool as yours, but makes me smile a lot.

The top part of mine is a flashlight, but now I'll have to find it to see if it doubles as a stylus when not a pen.

Flashlight is very cool - the MacGyver of pens!! I have pen/stylus/flashlight envy!

[BlerkOne]

You know I had to play it.

 

[BlerkOne]

Creative Play Time. Trying something different.

 

 

[BlerkOne]

Something I kept meaning to post. How to pronounce Venezia.

I remember my mother hanging out the laundry from our fourth floor balcony in Naples, Italy when I was 9-11 years old.  She made me “go outside to play in the courtyard” while she did it, and would lower a basket on a rope so I could retrieve anything she dropped. 

Precious memory 💕
