Hoping all others stay well and you will be back to normal soon. Stomach bugs not fun.

I see the 3 day package for $154.99 pp in my planner. If we do a specialty it will probably just be 1 night so no package for us.

This, can only be done on the phone, not on line. Very easy process.

@dani negreanu sorry to hear you still arent feeling well. Rest up and hopefully you will be over it soon. @Luckynana condolences on the loss of your friend. Never an easy call regardless of circumstances.

And how do you know that? They could have taken an RCL excursion but decided to wander the port area to shop or get something to eat losing track of time. Only those who missed the ship know for sure.

I couldn't finish all of mine. Gave DH parts of a few courses, had to save room for dessert which i also couldnt finish. He said he would have been fine without what I gave him but did eat it. More than enough food for most people. Teo courses were missing pictures. Agree wholeheartedly on the portion sizes. The only downside to the dinner there is no alcoholic drinks, only water and iced tea served with your meal. We did stop for a drink before going as we knew and don't get down that way often so wanted to go to a spot we hadn't been to lately.

For the foodies, we went back to the Culinary Institute for dinner this week. Have done lunch before but first time for dinner. Seven courses for $45 pp, we left stuffed, all wonderful food, lots of great chefs coming up the ranks. Missed pictures of a few courses, too interested in eating, by the time I remembered it wasn't photo worthy. The menu, also included was a lobster soup to start. The only item you needed to pick was dessert, of course we got 1 of each. Lobster soup, went to take a bite before remembering picture, happened more than once Chevre Carrots Surf & Turf Mousse Tart Dining room, we like to sit at the counter and watch the cooks. Great night, looking forward to the next one.

How cool, enjoy your trip. Thanks for the great pictures.

So exciting, safe travels. Looking forward to your wonderful pictures.

Bonnie, prayers for a speedy pain free recovery

Let me add my question here about the Edge class IV cabins. Many say one of the pros is the king size bed, my question is can they still be split into 2 "twins"? We do this sometimes to help with the snoring, especially when alcoholic drinks are involved.

Saved the info will definitely look into this one once things calm down here a bit, great itinerary.

Was 25 when I got up to this view today. So done with this week. At least the sun is out now and it's mostly melted. My granddaughter says the groundhog lied.

It is the Grand Cascade Lodge in Hamburg, NJ. Beautiful location, lots of activities there as well but oh very pricey. Of course we didn't get to use of it other than the wedding activities which were all in great spots. @HBE4 tagging you as just saw you asked the same.

As most of you heard we had a family wedding this weekend, DHs sisters son, back in NJ. Oh my what an event. Beautiful venue in the mountains, activities galore and only a tad over 200 guests. Will add a few pics below. Unfortunately the weekend was one of emotional highs and lows as his younger sister, not the one who's son was getting married, passed away on Friday morning. Needless to say put a cloud over the wedding for the few of us that knew, kept it quiet for bride and groom's sake until yesterday. Think we are all still in shock, she went to bed Thursday night and didn't wake up Friday, a young 59 with no known health issues. Keep those you love close, nobody knows what tomorrow brings. Now for the fun stuff The venue The ceremony, sun was setting behind them Jim with his mother The late night after party venue. Got my green toes in there One of the professional photos

@dani negreanu belated happy birthday 🎂🎉🥂🎁 Been away from this thread for a few days and boy have you all been chatty. See a few other birthdays as well. Best wishes to all. Will add another post with our crazy, emotional weekend.

This is what happened to us a few years back. Wasn't supposed to be a total eclipse but close to by Charleston. We are about 2 hours north so decided to stay home and see what we could. Right as it all started the clouds rolled in. Know some who traveled to Charleston where they had a little better luck. Said they wouldn't do it again. Our PA house isn't too far from the path so would have thought going but here now so not coming back quite that quick.

Bon Voyage, safe travels. Enjoy the trip.

Oh my, wasn't sure how to react to your post. Have a friend who went through similar issue with bandages recently. Sensitive skin bandaid helped some. Guess a few days at hi,e in the house are in order.

I was shocked they didn't even nibble on it. Not to be mean but hoping that Irish Spring didn't sit well with them. Haven't seen any mice or new droppings since we've been here.

Our view this morning, not from a cruise ship but know how those here love their sunrises and sunsets. All the snow melted away, thankfully. Been busy doing spring cleaning to get the house ready for the summer. Don't remember who mentioned using Irish Spring shavings to keep the mice away but will tell you it didn't work here. Left a partial bar, in the box, in one of the kitchen cabinet. The mice loved it, finished it all, left the box. Was probably the worst year for mice. We had work done on our septic in the fall and the community did a lot of road work, dirt/stone road, so hoping that disturbed them which is why we had more. Fortunately don't get too many when it's warmer just hope not cleaning too early but taking advantage of our trip north for the wedding and getting it done. Emptied and wiped down all the kitchen cabinets, so almost back to how this lovely thread started, just cabinets instead of fridge although that did get a wipe down too.

@grapau27 Happy Birthday Pauline 🎂🎉🥂

Yikes, wish I had half the luck you do. Congrats!!

Will just have to catch up next year

Yes that is Clinton, we were there 26 years over by Round Valley and 5 years in High Bridge before that. Great place to live and raise kids, not at all what most think NJ is like.
