  1. Wow - that was deep, and yet refreshingly appropriate. Bravo!
  2. Hey Now! I'm on the Joy the first two weeks of September - would love to party with a fellow Ohioan 😁
  3. The Art Auction Manager was the "officer" designated for my dinner on the Sun. There were only two others and it was clear they were bored to tears - I on the other hand had a wonderful time chatting with him about his travels and some of the art/Artists he had been privileged to see/meet in person. I wouldn't consider myself a collector, but let's just say I was able to keep up with the conversation. To each their own.
  4. LOL - yes, I guess we could say Spoke was succint. Enjoy the triple points!
  5. I am going to give this a whirl on my upcoming cruise. This could be helpful on cruises when you have been to the ports multiple times.
  6. I am an early riser and I typically like to explore from 3a -5a, maybe I miss the late night menu but in O'Sheehan's, it's typically a large cofee urn? and finger sandwiches (pb&j/some rando sort of meat slathered in mayo) on a tray. The staff is usually deeply involved in cleaning. Suggestion: Do not ingest these items.
  7. My last sailing on Epic was December 2022. Aft balcony on 9. No soot and I loved it.
  8. I had Brazil on my radar, but after the initial visa initiative and the uncertainty surrounding it, I kind of moved Brazil to the back burner. What is the latest on the visa requirement and do you need a yellow fever vaccination?
  9. Oh, I like that - very good idea. An NCL/never again sticky. How do we make this happen?
  10. Just to be clear - you have never cruised alone or you have never cruised in a solo cabin?
  11. You seem to enjoy researching the minutiae for your trip - as a fellow research addict, I will second the recommendation for "The Path Between the Seas." It is quite lengthy, but I agree it will give you a much better appreciation for the Canal. I chose the 20-day on the Sun - MIA to SEA. It remains one of my favorite cruises. Enjoy the planning and your trip!
  12. I never really thought about what the actual acronym stood for so I had to look it up - but if somebody had just randomly asked me on the street I'd probably say "Transportation Security Agency" which is just as incorrect. Thanks for making my brain jiggle...
  13. I typically book 12-18 months in advance with no issues. Also, depending upon your status level you may be eligible to have up to 5 CAS bookings. With you being so close to elite I would imagine the world could/would be your oyster! 🤞
  14. I thought it was just me - thinking about 6,000 people on a ship freaks me out!
