Something tells me there will be some partying tomorrow night with family and old friends I haven’t seen in a while. Probably won’t get much sleep tomorrow night and will be feeling “froggy” getting up at 4:30 a.m. Sunday. @graphicguy have a wonderful time tonight. Looking forward to hearing about your extraordinary evening. Please do pack the crown that they give you at the ceremony. It can double as your birthday crown for your birthday cruise. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider yourself @schmoopie17ed. The solo supplement dropped last week but the only availability was an Inside GTY (Category IF) and I was just assigned a cabin on Deck 11. The Category IF designation is appropriate because you can only board the ship IF NCL assigns you a stateroom. That seems whimsical but I was up for the adventure. There was always a possibility that the cruise would be oversold so I did not want to count my chicks before they hatch. Let the celebrations begin! P.S. I am totally ignoring the windy conditions for Wednesday and Thursday. 🫣 You just made my day! See you tomorrow. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now waiting on pizza for lunch. @Sailing12Awaywe were talking about going to see the Mets. Citifield is one of the few MLB stadiums I haven't been to. Next time! We've been to about half of them, and Citi is one of our favorites. San Diego beats it for their gardens and craft beer options though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be the one with the bloodshot eyes. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we were very slow yesterday because the winds were bad, so they kept our cruising speed to a minimum so we could all enjoy outside. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouChamp Posted June 16 #260 Share Posted June 16 Aloha. Have been blessed to sail Bermuda countless times since 1971. It is one of our favorite places to visit and would regularly weekend there over the years. We now divide our time between NY and Hawaii. I would suggest you try their fish chowder and add their malt vinegar! Have a wonderful voyage. It is the best time of year to visit. Enjoy! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare graphicguy Posted June 16 Author #269 Share Posted June 16 (edited) NCL bus transport from/to is $75 round trip. Not the “arrive, get uber/taxi, drive to pier 88” immediacy. But, the price is right. They NCL meet up area is at the bottom floor! First buss leaves at 10:00…NOW! Edited June 16 by graphicguy 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
