Lois, nothing has changed. Bring up a tip topic and the the responses will be the same. It's just that the popcorn has become more expensive.

I just get off to take a picture of the ship I'm on: On a perfect day., on a different cruiseline. I've been back on N Statendam, Zaandam and Zuiderdam over the last two years but the reflection was never the same. (Note the fiddle)

You mean there is money in sports: "Ottawa commits $104M to help Toronto host 2026 World Cup games"

The Old way but perhaps they looked at my age and realized the new tech is beyond octogenarians.

From a variety of sources: "Former cruise exec Lisa Lutoff-Perlo named CEO of 2026 World Cup Miami Host Committee"

I booked our May Volendam back to back cruise three hours ago and I already have approval for our stock credit. I sent the email the old way, wasted an hour trying to get the phone app and downloads with a suggestion that we might get approval within a week. Love the old way!!

It does not get any simpler once you have already passed through immigration in a previous port. When are you travelling?

It all depends on the "cruise director". We were on N Statendam and there were opportunities with BB King, and the pianos, and a DJ.. Forget about the Rolling Stones lounge. Things are changing. Young people seem to like dancing "at a distance". Bands are being cancelled. We even had music in the Crow's Nest and recorded music. On Zaandam and Zuiderdam we were disappointed. Fast dancing: the second best form of exercise; slow dancing leads to the first.

If you are very very hungry, no other choice offers an equal stuffing as the Porch. Murano is our favourite because it is fine dining at its best and I pace myself to get to the cheese!

Here is a picture worth a couple of words anyways.

So you're the reason everyone else has to wait half an hour.🙃

The Porch.

I received this email from RCL Friday evening: Reservation Transfers <reservationtransfers@rccl.com> Reply Reply all FTo:You Fri 2024-04-26 9:58 Dear *******, Please be advised that your request to transfer reservation #2044*** to be serviced by xxxxxx CRUISES ------------- was processed. We thank you for your business. Sales Administration Dept. The problem is that the cruise sailed in December 2023. I received two of these, the other was a sailing on Constellation in January. 2024. Did anyone else get a notification?

So many people with priorities, 5 Star, 4 star, suites and oh, Club Orange.

Celebrity also lets Park West use their best lounges for auctions, blocking off the equivalent of the Crow's Nest during the entire day. Complaints have never worked on X about this issue..

Happy Birthday from the Halve Maen (Half Moon) sailing into NY harbour 1609.

We have cruised on Constellation for nearly 20 years. She is our favourite Celebrity ship, recently cruising for two months from December to January 2024. The modifications will be minor. The crew is fantastic: in our opinion better than any Royal experience (10+ from Enchantment to Allure). The itinerary is more important than the ship. The cabin choice on the "old" ships are superior to Celebrity's newer ships, depending on your Euro bank account...

There are two different piers. When we cruised on Holland America, they gave us the wrong address. The Old Town Pier parking is twice as expensive but very convenient. We cruised out of the new terminal and the parking lot is a 15 minute walk.

Do you know which pier?

This is where we parked on two cruises. Get the Flowbird App.

In reality, I think it is a shortage of ships for X. The ones they have positioned now are profitable.

You're a bear for punishment, or is that bare?

We cruised this itinerary frequently. We love the fort. Rent a car and enjoy the Cabot Trail or simply walk into town..

The Vancouver terminal can be quite the challenge. I've heard reports that pax from every cruise line get in line for immigration screening. There is not necessarily a line for HAL or Celebrity or Royal. We always show up early.
