TROPICAL STRENGTH !  your choice  of spray, pump, stick, gel  🤩

JP - apparently  I can  swear in Ukranian like a local.  ,,,  I was looking after a very sick  fellow who  was Ukranian,   and he taught me some  phrases to  says to  his fellow friends as they visited him  ....  they all  fell about laughing   at what  I said  ... so  I  think  I said  something very  naughty  !!   😲

Glad to  hear you are 1 in trivia  !!  Plus  great photos  JP !

OK,   JP as a trivia team champions on several  SS ships  I need to  see a photo  of your team   🤩

Also   who is  your Butler  and who  is the Butler Manager  ?  Photos please  😃

Sorry @rojaan19 !  I hadn't intended to do the crossword.   I've been busy unpacking.   But then, about 1/2 hour before we were due to leave, I decided to give it a go!  I'll plan on giving you more time next time.  😁

I know un-packing  from  a  L O N G  trip  can  give you the  .....  you need plenty of things to  distract you   !! 

Glad you havent rembered how to  cook !   🥂 😄  🥂

I was just that minute debating whether to ask how things were with you, and thought 'no, leave her in peace for a while'.   Will look forward now to more from you - as and when.

Lola

AGREE !!  It would take me weeks to  get back  to  "normal"  !! 

NO butler to  bring me a coffee or a glass of vino at my whim  ,,,,,   🥂  🤩  🥂

Some good news about our upcoming Kimberley cruise this week...

 

Our TA sent an email, asking if we'd be OK with an upgrade from Veranda to a Silver Suite! We didn't have to think too long about that one. Now we're even more excited for this trip - 11 days until we fly!

Thats really great news  JP and Chris  xx 🥂

So my two  artistic shots from the other side of the lake    😊

There was a thread a while ago with a similar issue- I think the butler or room steward eventually problem solved and found the sound bar was backwards. Which made the passengers in that cabin unable to hear the TV, and turn the volume up-thereby transmitting the elevated volume to their neighbor.

Perhaps this happened?
 

But the obvious first step is politely asking your neighbor to to lower the volume-they may not realize how loud they were. Second step would be moving cabins.

I am puzzled by this issue as we never watch television on a cruise! Prefer to sit on the verandah or go listen to music.

This was us  !!  We could hear  the next door TV as clear as a bell !   The butler  and room attendant  checked it  out  and found the sound bar was in back  to  front  - hence facing our cabin !

They turned it right way out  - and bingo   - problem  solved !!

What an experience M! Savour every second xxx

Ohh Mysty and Mr M saviour these  last few days   ,,,,  because  when  you get home  ,,  the sh!t  will hit the rotating blades  and you will be back   with all of us  ... living life  !!

We have  so  enjoyed  living this world cruise with you and myster,  you  (we)  have had such fun,  joining  in on all your  adventures,  thanks  so  much  for including all of us the CC  family.

I prescribe that you sleep  for a week  when  you get home   ...  and  dont think  about the dust  !  

Time for some of my photos  !  

Fuji View Hotel and grounds -  the hotel  has extensive grounds = acres  ! going down  to   a large lake.

These two  photos are from the other side of the lake to  the hotel.  =

And Fuji  comes in all  forms - even  Sake  !

Oh mysty !  Say  it isn't so   .... only 12 days to  go  !!

This map reminds me of my complete and entirely uncharacteristic lack of getting my bearings in my first few days in Oz. I Was furious. My sense of direction beats anything out of any SatNav but my first few days down there I hadn’t a clue what was where. It felt like I’d lost my superpower and had to ask people where my Hotel was. So much shame.

But,,,,,  DW  aussies will always tell a pommie where to  go !!!      🤣🥂🤩😁

We have sailed with Vicki a few times on SS.  She is fantastic, we love her !  In her NYC  days  she used to be a Rockette  🤩👠🤩

Could we put UKcruiserJeff  food thread into a separate thread for those of us on a diet please 🙄

You just need a sign with your trivia team name and a big  " BOOKED"     !!!  To keep off your winning table  😁😁

Perfect timing for the cherry blossoms !!  Great pictures mysty  💮💮💮

Hi Lois, I wasn’t referring to CC rules, I was referring to the person that joined recently, posted incessantly, criticised anything positive I had to say about Celebrity, avoided answering many questions, reported anyone that questioned them for harassment and then disappeared just as quickly as they arrived. I’m still scratching my head about that one. 

HOLEY Carp  !!   I go away for a few weeks and miss out on all the fun  !!  😮😮

A quick thanks for the explanation.  You know how it is when you are looking out for the first signs of mind going doolally.  (Looking forward to explanations of this British term.)  

 

Lola

Doolally !!  My grandmother used that expression  frequently  !! 😁😁   It covers a multitude of problems  !  Haven't heard it in ages  but I am now of an age that I need to use it  !!
