Oh wow. I wouldn't want to take the risk. And we ate more at the Terrace Cafe than anywhere else on the Marina.

Really? Wow, that was fast!!!!

If you wear rubber soles shoes would they slip on the floors?

Sorry for the mess this turned out to be. And it was just "approved."

Thank you, dear.

They could but I think it's unlikely that they will. Pissing off passengers isn't going to happen, I'm guessing.

How light is HE traveling???

Did I read it here or somewhere else that this is going to be a major project.

Which is the best I've ever had.

We have an account with USAA that we especially use when traveling but home also. They're not a "bricks and mortar" bank so they rebate us ATM fees and there are no foreign transaction fees.

And how many billions in debt is the O parent company???

I saw a Convo on a food site. Everyone had loved the item except one person who quite politely said what she didn't like. Oh my, did she ever get bashed!

I saw and responded to this on FB yesterday. Let's see if I can copy and paste part of it anyway.

Did she ever cook in a restaurant where she didn't have connections? Trying to figure out why they hired her. 18h Like Reply Patricia Lenhart Catherine Oliver De Laurentiis studied at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris with aspirations of becoming a pastry chef. After returning to the United States, she became a professional chef working in several Los Angeles restaurants, notably the Wolfgang Puck-owned Spago. 3h Like Reply Active Catherine Oliver Top Contributor LOL. Google is your friend also I didn't find any mention of her finishing a program, which I'm sure would have been if she had. Out of curiosity I looked and except for an executive chef position which she would never be qualified for, the other highest ranked position was line cook. And even that, without the family background, I can't imagine them hiring some like her- with minimal qualifications. I no longer watch cooking shows as they became if I may give my never humble opinion...just plain stupid. Did she actually have shows where she would cook an entire dish and have herself ant maybe another taste it? Honestly I see Oceania quite wisely preparing for the time when we boomers will have moved off ships and maybe died. They desperately need to get that younger blood and maybe that's how.

And my husband doesn't get obsessed so that makes me even more obsessed 🙂

I had it in Jacques a few years ago and it was the best I've ever had. BTW, I've done a search and can find no record of Giada actually finishing a culinary school. Or of actually cooking in any restaurant where she didn't have family connections. Just saying.

When we were on a Norwegian coastal cruise all the souvenir type things were "made in China.' We've had better luck when traveling to check for little pieces of pottery beaded bracelets/necklaces. We have 'stuff' all over our house from travels that don't necessarily fall into the "souvenir" category but are great reminders of trips.

I've said many times, if I'm on time I feel like I'm late.

I will clways remember 25 or 30 years ago we were in Santiago, Chile, watching the changing of the card or some such. I noticed a bank across the square and wondered aloud if they would have an ATM. My darling husband, who worked ALL over the world, probably laughed. Well, sure enough they did. I seem to remember that some countries 'came to the party' before the US.

I was confused about this to begin with. That sandwich seemingly bore NO resemblance to a Philly Steak Sandwich so in that case I'd send it back also.

From what I understand, if the injury/illness occurred after buying the insurance then you're fine.

Thanks for the trip cancellation part of CSR. I also have regular trip insurance. I have an issue regarding mobility that really could make travel brutal. I'l try to do PT and make it but if not do you think CSR easier than the one I have booked through USAA. TIA.

Exactly. The times they are a changing 😞

Thanks. It didn't seem particular to Oceania but rather that it can happen. And O hasn't been a saint lately and I read about the actions that all the lines are taking to reduce their debt. So I thought it was a general topic in a cruise line Board.

@shepherd really Sincerely asking why you're laughing.

Oh, and here's a CC thread.
