@aussielozzie18 Right now our world is a very sad place. I read what happened in Sydney. There is a tremendous amount of anger everywhere, but you just don’t expect the fear for your life in a mall or grocery store. I was a child during WWII. We actually thought peace would be permanent after that. now it’s not only war, but people so filled with anger they feel compelled to strike out. I give thanks for the brave police officer who stopped the murderer. I pray the injured recover, especially the baby whose mother died. I pray for the souls of the victims, and for the people of Sydney and of the whole country that this doesn’t happen to you again. Somehow, good has to prevail over evil.

@dani negreanu. Dani, I hoped this terrible time would end, but no one in charge wants to give in. I hope you and yours stay safe, and that somehow somebody can broker a peace.

@dani negreanu Congratulations on still having the best group on CC! I have been too busy to comment often, but I try to keep up! I often think of you and your family and friends. I hope this sad time will be over before too much longer.

I was worried before I went to Japan that I wouldn’t find enough to eat (!!!), mainly because I don’t eat fish much. Don’t know what I was thinking! The food was great, the people so polite, and the bullet train was so smooth we couldn’t tell how fast we were going. We passed Mt Fuji between Kyoto and Tokyo, but clouds obscured it. I wish I could go again; Japan was beautiful.

I’ve not had time to play on my iPhone for a while My 35 person group cruise took up more time than they did back when I worked. maybe it’s because of the demographics? I don’t want to betray my favorite gender, but herding cats is what it has been like. The result was a really great cruise; dinners in the MDR were actually excellent, and the dining department on Allure did exactly what asked for. We were in the side room with an entrance directly from the elevator lobby. No winding through the tables to get to ours, and quiet enough we could all talk. I can attend my women’s club luncheons without fear that someone is going to come after me with a pitchfork! I’ve been keeping up with our friend who is on the World Cruise, and y’all may have already posted this. I hate to think of all I have missed. Anyway, he is now a certified Sydney Harbor Bridge climber!

@grapau27 Happy Birthday to Pauline. I’m sure she is having a lovely meal, because you two know how to do it well!

One of our news channels said Facebook and Instagram both down.

I hope her life has taken an upturn and she’s seeing sunshine.

Ok@Ocean Boy Great Coco Cay and sunrise photos. I haven’t seen the balloon in the air in a long time! @dani negreanu My heart goes out to you. I wish we could make it better. Please talk to us whenever it gets to be too much. Know that you have friends here who really care; even though we are able to live our lives, you are here inside of us and always in our prayers and our thoughts.

Dani, I’m so very sorry you’re living with this every day. It has to color everything you do. I’m just glad you’re not physically impacted, but mental and emotional exhaustion has to be hard to live with. You have friends here who are praying for this and the other hot spots to come to a peaceful conclusion.

In the past, that has worked. Now when I click on “select a different cruise” it takes me to book a cruise. I can’t see any way in the app to look at another sailing, as I have done many times before.

It was wonderful, compared to the “brick” I carried before.

Thank you. I don’t go to either one, but my friends will be disappointed.

Mostly they serve soft rolls, including on Allure last summer. I ask for the hard rolls, and can usually get one or two. For a table if 6 or 8, that can be a problem. I have gotten Savoury Bites since COVID, so always ask.

I’ve checked the app every day. I used to click n Main Dining, Deck 3,4 or 5, and the word menu was right there. It no longer is, at least on Feb 26 Allure.
