Celebrity for a mother/son spring break cruise?
WELDON replied to Sigyn's topic in Celebrity Cruises
The Oasis class ships on RC have a basketball court. They also have mini golf. Celebrity is probably not the best choice for a teenage boy. I was on Celebrity a week ago and there were 3 children on board. -
I also have Morton's. I generally buy Vionic sandals. These work best for me. I also buy LLBean Boothbay slide sandals. For me, these sandals have saved me when I have had foot or ankle problems. Around the house, I wear athletic sandals (I don't know the correct name). Men and women wear this style and men usually wear these with socks. These sandals are so comfortable because of the sole. I think the key think about buying footwear if you have Morton's is buying a supportive sole. Forget about thin or flimsy footwear. As for colors, you can't go wrong with black, nude, white or a metallic.

Hello Ladies, Melody - Sorry to hear of your medical issues. Wishing you a good outcome Monday. I came back from a 10 night Celebrity Equinox cruise on Thursday. Apparently, new dining menus and food choices, both in the MDR and buffet, began last month on Celebrity and Royal Caribbean. The taste and quality of the food were very disappointing. Several nights, I ate in the buffet because there was nothing on the MDR menu I would eat. Part of the buffet was blocked off, but most of the stations were open. With the exception of the carving station, hot foods and desserts, most of the other options (salads, cold items) were repeated in a couple of areas. Every day at lunch and dinner, there is a pasta station. In fact, on the nights I ate in the buffet, there were items served that were not available in the MDR that I would eat. Desserts were terrible. They look beautiful but when you eat them, they have no taste. I have found this to be true for several years now so I stay away from them except for an occasional cookie. I usually go with ice cream. There was plenty of food. It wasn't the doom and gloom I saw on a video posted on CC. Again, I found the quality in some items has gone downhill. You won't starve but on Celebrity and RC but dining is just not the same. It still won't stop me from cruising.

Lois, Is there a Newcomers Club in Jacksonville? I belong to one in So Fla. You don't have to be a new resident. Many of the members have belonged for many years. Some of the activities we have are out to lunch once a month at a different restaurant, bowling league, monthly meeting at a restaurant, chat & chew in the morning for brunch and talking. There is a Christmas party, Halloween party, Derby Day, book club, different games (mah jong, canasta, samba). The Club also supports several organizations and charities that members can volunteer. You can do as little or as much as you want. I go to some of the activities because it gets me out of the house. I've met some nice ladies through the Club.

Harmony Review - Dec 10-18 (Aruba, Curacao, Labadee)
WELDON replied to NateUpNorth's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I was on this cruise also. I always carry my luggage off the ship. They begin disembarking approx. 6:45. I was off the ship a little after 7. I have a driver that I use to get to the port and he was waiting for me. I was home by 7:45 (live in the area for the winter). -
Melody - Nice meeting you on the cruise. First time I met someone from CC. The weather was OK in Aruba and Labadee but there was some rain in the morning in Curacao. The skies cleared but it was overcast. Some of the sea days were windy and overcast. A lot of empty loungers by the pool. Overall, a nice cruise.
