Who’s your butler? We had Anthony, October 4-15.  If you see who is in cabin 14003, I hid a duck at disembarkation!

We are on 15 with Pravin.

 

Hmmm hidden duck?  Is there a hundy attached?  We were escorted back on by a nice junior butler from 14 the other day and I will secretly ask.

Our Jr. Butler was Roque Rubenecia. 
The duck is in a very safe location!!

Very nice, excellent photo descriptions of life onboard Merv.  Making me hungry ... Calendars are booked for rest of 2023. Besides the Sun for Alaska, nothing else planned so this is very tempting with a NY closed loop. 

 

Wish you and yours a happy Halloween, early. Our Shabu Shabu - Korean/Japanese hotpot lunch earlier out in Long Island, AYCE for $21 p/p all inclusive, including 20% cash tips. Drinks not included and no senior discounts 👴 Not bad

BTW, heads up for anyone else using Red Hook or BCT in NY on a weekend, that I-278 closure and detour was bad, ongoing work on weekends - weather permitting and definitely plan for & allow extra time to get around, gridlock conditions reported.  Weekdays, really doesn't matter with bumper-to-bumper commuter & commercial traffic everywhere.

That does look nice but not cutting you much slack as you are retired and we have to go back to work.

 

Big screen with Tom C making my night or morning looking favorable.

Sure, I'm sure @dexddd is having a great sea day onboard & don't mind sharing.  Prices for dinner is $10 higher, this franchise location (KPOP Korean BBQ & Hotpot) is on Old Country Road, Westbury - off the Meadowbrook Pkwy, next door is a Cheesecake Factory Restaurant, 3/4 mi east of Roosevelt Field (Macy's) Mall.  Spacious, clean & fresh food, AYCE for 90 minutes to 2 hours, can't figure out how they can make a profit - 20% off b/c BBQ isn't available, yet.  Servings are 2x per item, ordered via a tablet, shared ,n cooked in our own personal pot with 5 soup stock choices.

Who are some of the key staff in the YC? Is Rodwin still on as a butler? 

Patricia last week on.  Her DH went home last week.  George, Budo (sp).  Have not seen sight of YCD Hugh.  Pravin fabulous.  Joseo Jr butler.
Vishnu the concierge.
