Had an amazing iced haupia latte at HiCO coffee both Kailua-Kona days. Fantastic. Also had the Thai Spring toast day 2 after thinking about it overnight! Very good. Going to try to recreate at home! (Also enjoyed former Miss Hawaii dancing at House Without a Key one of the Waikiki days. So graceful and lovely music too.)

I’ve done this twice and other than the logistics of getting there and back, would happily do again. When I did it, it was a ship excursion so didn’t have to worry about transportation. I get motion sick and the ride up and down was a bit edgey for me, but I survived! Yes you ping off the walls and each other, but it’s a hoot. Like a good kids camp leader, the tour guide said, as we were getting in the water, no “F” words, ie, no saying it’s freezing! That just set the tone! No whining! I’ve done similar in Belize and there, some poor human walked through the waterway towing us tourists all tethered together. Much more lame. Kauai was fun!

Stunning location. Great food.

This picture is why I decided to read your “Live”. Yummy!

If he’s able to have it, I found NyQuil to be amazing at helping me stop coughing long enough to sleep. Sleep almost sitting up with LOTS of pillows. And DayQuil and neocitron, and fisherman’s friend - use a knife or pill splitter to cut into 1/4’s so they’re not so spicy for so long, but long enough to help. Lots of water or tea. Hydrate. As others have said, vit c, since, echinacea. Ugh. Get well. Use a new toothbrush or put old one in boiling water or dishwasher.

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! Thank you so much!!

Abby, did you get a chance to check out the bikes? I may have missed it? Thanks for doing a live from… enjoying!

You’ve maybe figured this out on Libby, and it’s possible my library’s rules are different than yours… but, here’s how I use Libby. You can have 10 loans at a time, and can renew those, 3 weeks at a time, as many times as it’s available (ie no one else wants it). You can have 10 holds at a time. You can postpone a hold if it comes available… I often do this to time a hold to be available for a trip. I use tags to mark books I want to read (so if I read a review, or someone tells me about a book like you just did, I can tag it « to read ».) I also mark books to read, although the app sort of does that too. I also have a tag for « don’t bother not worth reading « for something I’ve started that doesn’t catch my interest, and another for « don’t read » if I check out a review and think it won’t be to my taste or too scary for e.g.! I also enjoy magazines and subscribe to several so they auto populate in the app. Lastly, I also use Goodreads to track books to read or that I’ve read. Happy reading!

I called and asked and they said I could either get the sale price or my elite 15%. Were you able to stack the discount and get both? Did you phone for that?

abbydancer2003 if you have time and don’t mind researching a question for me… can you scope out the bicycles and specifically the spin classes? Would love a picture of the fitness schedule, and also of the bikes (there are likely a few near treadmills, but I’m wanting to know about some that are probably in a separate area or room that are used only for spin classes.) For the bike pictures I’m curious whether the pedals have cleats, whether shoes are provided (HAL does, but pretty sure Celebrity doesn’t), and a general overall pic. Could you also find out the per class cost and whether there is an unlimited class pass or a bundle cost? THANK YOU in advance!! I board in HNL in April and am planning what to bring and timing of classes etc.

Ach, had someone in the Cruiseship gym on a treadmill do a full loud FaceTime discussing the care of Grandpa with multiple family members at loud volume for about 20 minutes. I was embarrassed on behalf of poor grandpa.

This is yummy. I even had it from room service in 2022 when in COVID isolation! Slightly different each time.

I completely agree. Will not sail this ship again - it is poorly designed and feels crowded. Had a very similar Crown Grill experience with a mariachi band right beside our group of 7 celebrating a birthday with a splurge specialty dining. Untenable. Couldn’t hear ourselves think nor each other nor the poor waiter.

I think I’ve learned on here that if you have OBC you can pre-purchase with credit card pay dining and excursions and then when onboard go to guest services and shore excursions desk respectively and swap the payment method from credit card to OBC. Can one pre-book the Thermal Spa access in the same way?

Type “air tags for Samsung” into google or Amazon and it will tell you about “Tile” or “SmartTag”. And yes, I think Best Buy will help.
