  1. Happy Victoria Day to all of our Canadian friends! Hope you all enjoy the day.
  2. Good Morning from a cloudy and warm day at the beach Some crazy thunder storms came in late yesterday. People stayed on the beach under canopies. Not smart or safe. The big races are today and already the beach is filling up. We stopped at Conflict Islands in 2022. It was a substitute port. Didnt know what to expect. No one lives there. DH and I decided to check it out. It was like Gilligan`s Island ! The water was clear and warm. Lots of palm trees on the beach. Walked a long sandy path from the tender. We went back to the ship and put on bathing suits. Beautiful. No infrastructure. Bathrooms were Very basic. We didnt take pictures but I would love to go there again. Have a wonderful Sunday. Stay safe and enjoy today Charlene
  3. Happy Anniversary to you both! May yo enjoy many more. Love the picture and the quote!
  4. It has been on our local news constantly about the growth in Port Canaveral. They are "fast tracking" a new terminal to be ready in several months. Another one will take longer because the current Marina has to be moved. A new garage will be ready this summer. There are currently 11 hotels in a 2 block area. Lucky for me I am 7 miles south of there. Sad for me is no HAL ship yet!
  5. Good Morning from a warm and overcast day at the beach Not sure what the weather is going to do today. It is what it is. Lots of graduation tassels this time of year. The blueberry almond tart sounds really good. May have to try it. Never been to todays port. Very busy weekend here in Cocoa Beach. The boat races are this weekend. There is a parade of all the boats this afternoon coming down A1A. They will be all lined up downtown tonite which is also Friday Fest. Tomorrow are the trials and Sunday the races. Throw in a launch tonite and the usual cruise traffic and it will be bedlam! Going out early this AM to stock up for the weekend. Then staying put! Stay safe and enjoy today Charlene
  6. @aliaschief Happy Anniversay to you and your bride. May you enjoy many more!
  7. I dont have a link. It was a conversation. Someone had said they did not receive the fees from the cruise line . So I just wanted to make sure my original thoughts were correct.
  8. I always thought that port fees and taxes were refundable. I heard yesterday that this may no longer be true. Does anyone have any experience with this? Questioning due to calculating the total cost for insurance. Thanks!
  9. Debbie, 3 feet is way to shallow for water aerobics. The theory is it is suppose to add resistance. You will not get that if the water is not deep enough.You will put too much pressure on your joints. Maybe others will complain also. Some of my classes are in β€œ deep water” ( can’t touch) I hope they can come to a solution . Water aerobics is a wonderful effective exercise.
  10. @summer slope Dixie and George, a very Happy Anniversary to you both. May you enjoy many more!
  11. Good Morning from a warm and sunny day at the beach True quote by Eleanor Roosevelt. I celebrate all Nurses no matter where thay are. Have never been to todays port. A very Happy Mothers Day ! And those that have lost our mothers or child, may memories give you comfort. I know today is a difficult day for some. DS wanted me to golf today but I declined. I just want to relax today. Doesnt happen that often. Stay safe and enjoy today Charlene
  12. I see that Daniel is your Cruise Director. We thought he was great. He is very engaging and very funny. Enjoy !
  13. Thanks for taking us along. I have enjoyed reading your port descriptions . Safe travels home.
  14. Thinking of you and Houdini. Enjoy your memories.
  15. Have a wonderful time. I will be following along.
  16. Glad to hear you all had a great time. I have been following all the WC blogs with great interest. We will be on next year, God willing and the creek dont rise!! Safe travels home.
  17. Great video! Maybe a little preview for the 25?? Thank you very much to you and Judy for taking us along on this wonderful journey. I appreciate all the time and your very upbeat attitude with all your posts and pictures. Safe travels home.
  18. Good Morning from a warm and sunny day at the beach It reached over 9 again yesterday but we had some nice ocean breezes. No rain in the forecast but come June, it will be every day. Never been to todays port, pictures are beautiful. I was at an event last weekend and met a fellow cruiser. She is the neighbor of a friend. Talking to her she will be on the 25 WC with us. This is her 3rd WC. So we are getting together so I can "pick her brain". So many questions! We wont be able to fully appreciate all the ports because DD comes with us. DH and I split up sometimes so we each can enjoy one. So it takes planning. I am just very blessed that I am able to go at all! Sandi @StLouisCruisers Safe travels to FL tomorrow. Have a wonderful cruise! Will you do me a favor? From pictures of the Zuiderdam, it looks like the pool lift is on the main Lido pool. Would you verify that for me? Thanks!! Stay safe and enjoy today Charlene
  19. That is amazing! They are really upping their game. Thanks for sharing.
  20. Good Morning from a warm and sunny day at the beach Excellent quote by John Lennon. I still remember the night he was killed. Another disappointment last night for the launch. Scrubbed again, they will try again today. In the meantime Spacex launched again yesterday afternoon. I was on the golf course and it was beautiful. Although the rumble came during my backswing and I almost fell over! @kazu Dont you worry about complaining. That is what we all here for, to hold each other up during good and bad times. Makes me rethink pedicures! Nothing much on the agenda today. Stay safe and enjoy today Charlene
  21. Congratulations on your Platinum status. May you enjoy many more days of smooth sailing. That drawing is amazing! I cant even imagine the time and effort that went into it!
  22. Thanks for taking us along. Really enjoyed all your posts. Safe travels home!
  23. Good Morning from a warm and sunny day at the beach I really enjoy this time of year. Weather is good, crowds are gone, life is good. Didnt know wearing 2 different shoes had its own day. I actually did this once at work. Was hurrying, doing multiple things. Got to work and my co-worker said "i like the navy". I was embarrassed but we all had a good laugh. Gone with the Wind is one of my favorite books ( and movie). Have watched it several times. Busy weekend. All good. Called Luggage Forward yesterday to make arrangements for my luggage for the VOV. Was shocked at the rise in price. Still worth it for us.DH says there is a price for convenience. Sandi @StLouisCruisers Congrats to Morgan. Enjoy the weekend with everyone. @Heartgrove Safe travels to my neck of the woods. Have a wonderful cruise. Off to water aerobics. Safe travels and enjoy today Charlene
  24. Safe travels home. Thank you for taking us along. I have very much enjoyed your detailed reports. Until the next time.....
