So you once had a bad experience so NYC cabbies are the worst. Riiiight. Way to put down thousands and thousands of hard working people.

I'd give anything to see people dancing to Beethoven's Ninth. Air guitars to Ode to Joy!

Are you sure that's what you meant to say?

My wife laughs at me because I insist you can dance to the Grateful Dead. I guess that would be too much to ask for.

Is anyone familiar with the types of music offered? I'm no fan of disco and was wondering if any of the channels offered is some good old fashioned rock.

Me too!

How about an upscaled belly flop contest?

The problem with the first hole is everyone watching you tee off. The problem with the other holes is I stink at golf.

Like Uber.

Exactly. And a backup method is "we" goes with "I" and "us" goes with "Me". We went on a cruise=My wife and I went on a cruise v. Our kids gave us a cruise as a gift=Our kids gave my wife and me a cruise as a gift.

Autocorrect makes me look like an idiot when they replace the word I typed with the wrong one and I don't notice till after I hit send. I have enough trouble not appearing to be an idiot without autocorrect giving me a push in that direction.

No, my head would not explode but I would correct you internally to my inner self. It's really more about me than you.

Just wanted to say thanks for not writing "for my DH and I". Like nails on a chalkboard when people do that.

Aren't you the responsible one. Good for you.

I HATE transatlantics. I hate them so much we're already printing out our luggage tags for our Rome to Ft. Lauderdale in a month, which incidentaly will be our 7th TA. We've already booked #8 for next October.

My happy place to read on board is at the pool.

Ever since seeing a discussion on CC a while ago which referenced it I'm gonna look for the upside down pineapples!

Considering I'm a guy who still lugs around "real books" you best believe I'll have all my hard copies in order.

Are the ship casinos all "Bar 12"?

Nope. Stops in Valencia, Malaga, Gibraltar, the Azores, and the Bahamas.

Sorry to start yet another of these but I checked in online this morning for my October 29 transatlantic on the Apex from Rome to Florida and on the Celebrity app it clearly states a SUPERVISED covid test is required. Now I'm more confused than usual.

As long as they hit the opposite wall he'll be fine. It also helps if he can avoid throwing 7s.

I usually stick to poker. While the rake is pretty high I know I have a shot at winning if I'm a better player than the others. Sometimes the call of the craps table is too much and I try my luck there- yes, I avoid the prop bets and take plenty of odds behind the line. I only take what I can afford to lose-last thing I want to do is ruin a fantastic cruise because I lost control in the casino.

I'll be on the TA as well. Look for me, I'll be the guy with the big smile on his face, reading a book, trying to guess the right answer in trivia, and trying his luck at a little poker and craps.

Don't knock Alfred. Not only was he a loyal and discreet aide to Batman and Robin but he also was responsible for the day to day needs of stately Wayne Manor. And his experience as a trained thespian allowed him to get out of the cave and help out the Caped Crusader and Boy Wonder on more than one occasion. And he sure knew how to keep a secret-Batgirl's identity was safe with him.
