Thank you all for your responses.

Hi

As I understand it as a Diamond member I can get up to 4 alcoholic drinks per day.  If true, do I get coupons in my cabin?  Is there something on my card that the bar tenders recognize me as a Diamond member?  Or each time I get a drink, at a bar or at dinner, do I have to tell the server that I'm a Diamond member and that this drink is free for me?

Any info would be helpful.

Thanks

Happy Birthday Rich. And thanks for all the work you do to keep this wonderful website going.

It is a Baroque-style Dutch pipe organ inspired by traditional barrel organs, and it rises from the Lower Promenade (deck 3) to the Upper Promenade (deck 5).  We were told it is the most expensive piece of art on any HAL ship.  It is not just a piece of art, but a working organ that can be played or that can play using a computer disc.  There is a regular keyboard behind the screens and false keyboard.

It IS a very impressive organ!  It is quite magical how the various items dance around to the music. And you should experience it from all 3 decks where it appears. I WISH that HAL used one of their keyboardists to play the full organ.  Not just the stuff they use at noon which is basically a recording.

Thank you Rich and Sandi.  I had a very bad night last night but finally slept about 3 hours starting at 3:30, and then getting out of bed and dressed took forever.  I think I'll be calling an ambulance soon.

 

Roy

You don't need this.  Please take whatever measures are necessary.  And as everyone els has said, we are thinking of you and praying for you.

Hi

What can't I use the drink package on the day that I board?

Thanks for your responses.

Thanks - no playing for Jacqui.

sadly this live thread is now dead.  I was medically disembarked In Puerto Vallarta because of the concern of 2 days at sea and sepsis.  I may have a story to tell down the road on medical disembarkations when it is not so difficult to type.

It’s especially hard pain wise and immobile arm wise with the angle in the hospital bed.  Not sure I will ever travel solo again

Another OH NO from me as well.  I am so sorry!

Charles

Roy, I really like the maps you use.  Very easy to read.  Thanks.

Fruitcake, NO!! Final answer. But a nice, moist Date-nut bread with Walnuts, maybe some raisins, Vanilla etc?? Heavenly. Finally above 0/F Degrees here in Minnesota with 24” of snow. 

Year the date nut bread!

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to each of you.  I enjoy reading each of your comments every day.

And after our standard play, training I decided to see if I could lure her to walk on leash all the way down the long driveway to the street.  It wasn’t a pretty walk but we did it.  She was absolutely zonked after.

 

Jacqui, Shadow is a great presence in your life after your husband and previous dog passed.  As someone who has lost a spouse, I'm jealous.  Hurray for Shadow and You!

Thanks to Roy, StLouisCruisers ElOrans and YXUAC for answering my question about the locks that lead to Amsterdam.

The locks at Ijmuiden

Hi Roy

I can't find anything in the news about the locks that lead to Amsterdam.  I've searched for several days now CNN and BBC, as well as the Internet with no luck in finding any information.

What happened there that the locks are on your Care List?

As always, thanks for your posts and keeping up with everything.

Good Morning Dailyites!  I post infrequently, but lurk constantly, LOL! Your warmth, humor, photos, memes, recipes brighten even the dullest days. When I read about challenges that some of you deal with, I realize how truly fortunate I am. Kudos to all.

Welcome. And thanks for posting.  I'm in the same boat thinking how fortunate I am compared to allot the great people here with medical issues.  Thanks again for posting

and, wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles…I am home and so is my bag (surprisingly enough).  My sweet neighbour was there waiting for me.  She wasn’t having me take a dirty cab home after the ordeal for the last 40 + hours.

Hooray!  Hooray!  and HOORAY!!!!
