cruising denise Posted December 26, 2023 #78 Share Posted December 26, 2023 On 12/24/2023 at 8:54 AM, cruising denise said: Suggestions included doing the full M&G in midafternoon so as not to conflict with other events. Maybe in The Restaurant, though I'm not sure that is conducive to mingling. Torshavn would be too small. I think Wintergarden could certainly accommodate ~100 but they need to set up for tea at 4, so we'd prob have to be done by 3 latest. Torshavn too small for our group. We had GREAT attendance, all the ship's officers were there, the Captain gave a little welcome speech, they served hors d'ouvres and cocktails, it was really wonderful. After all the initial scheduling confusion. I will post pix later or tomorrow but the limits on devices with wifi means I can't be on the computer and use my phone (since DH needs one of our connections, too!). Below are a few pix from our Meet & Greet - looking forward to meeting the LA contingent. Captain Fredrik Nilsson greeting all of us! I had one more nice pic but no matter what I do, it comes out upside down when I try to insert it. I tried rotating the original, but still upside down when I insert it. I am hoping one of you can help me figure out why this happens occasionally! In fact, just for fun, I'll post it here. Turn your screen upside down for better viewing.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhereInTheWorldIsKarla Posted December 31, 2023 #90 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I believe this is a crocodile, as does our biologist on board. This photo was taken while we were traveling through Gatun Lake on our Panama Canal transit. First one is to show the area where I spotted it, second one is enlarged to show the crocodile. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Penspack Posted December 31, 2023 Author #93 Share Posted December 31, 2023 1st game of Mexican Train. 13 rounds with 6 people. Round tables on deck 2 work well. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were introduced to Mexican Train when we had a place in Florida. The problem with it is that there are no set "rules" -- at least, that's the way it seemed. The "rules" were dependent upon what region of the U.S. you came from. Many arguments ensued, but it was a lot of fun. Happy New Year and enjoy!!
