GeoHerb I just asked my DW. She remembers staff coming by with trays of vegetables for us to choose a be served from. I can't wait to safely get back to sea. Cheers

You are right. I hadn't seen that. I do wonder why recommendations could have changed so much. In the paper I posted, they conclude that masks were at best "useless" and at worst "a health risk". They never were described as being effective or helpful. I was given this today from a retired physician. Cheers

Yep. And crab nachos and Alaskan Amber beer in the restaurant!! Cheers.

Yes. Cheers.

I've taken 60 plus cruises, mostly on Princess. To be sure, the enforcement of the dress code has gotten more lax and can be hit or miss. On our last cruises, mid January just before the Covid mess began, I witnessed people being denied entrance to MDR because of their attire on two different non-formal nights. A year ago, I was seated next to a gentleman who wore jogging pants and t-shirt with a super hero logo on formal night. (He was in front of us in line for ATD). It really depends on the Maitre D. I would say you have a better than 50/50 chance you will be seated wearing what you describe. You should know that if you are asked to dress according to the posted and published guidelines, "I didn't know" and "But I'm on vacation" are overused and are not persuasive. Cheers

Good for you!! Trying to talk my DW into one sooner than next August. Cheers

Sapphire and Tonic - easy on the tonic. Cheers

We enjoy the salmon lunch on embarkation day as a ritual for getting our cruise started. We also enjoy Sabatini's, Share and the steak house. I was looking thru some old cruise info and came across this from our first Princess cruise. We were presented with new menus from each night at the end of the cruise. The waiters made table side offerings each night. 'Twas magic. Cheers.

Same situation. Our August 2020 Alaska cruise is still listed as upcoming. I asked our TA last week if our FCD and OBC from that cruise will be transferred to our next cruise. She called and was told they are working on it. Cheers

Hendrick's is wonderful. It is said that Churchill's recipe for a martini was to pour chilled gin into the appropriate glassware, glance at the vermouth and enjoy. Cheers

Bombay Sapphire and Tonic. Cheers

I guess only my browser has a green "No political posts...Please remember our purpose" bar near the top. Cheers
