Hi, first, no need to apologize for being new😃. We were all new once. As for your question and your TA, they booked a time for you? I would say since the cruise line allows you to board earlier, why don't you tell your TA that you want to be there earlier. Actually, your TA should know the times of embarkation. Enjoy your cruise😃

Hi guys, rka, AND that is the BIG difference between a legit bakery/deli in a large metropolitan type city and a smaller one........and that the person who answered you has no class at all. Why is it their business on why you like something? It is quite rude actually (in my opinion anyway).

Hi Sharon, hopefully she will check in with us. I just watched the movie about Julia Child on CNN. It was really, really good and I learned a lot about her that was all new to me. If anyone gets the chance to see it, I highly recommend it.😀

Hi, Stumblefoot is correct. The early dining is in the 7-8 slot. All the restaurants open at 7. Or I should say, I have never seen any of them opened at 6.

Hi rka, I have actually seen a Kroger truck in my complex (I live in a condo) making deliveries. I know there is not a Kroger nearby so this must be "delivery only". Maybe I should see what kind of minimum order you need and try their rye.

Hope all of you are having a good day. Do any of you recall how long Debbie and hubby are supposed to be away? I hope she is having a good time, relaxing and is feeling ok. Seems like she has been away for a long while now. And yes, snow?.............my a/c is now on all the time😲

Hi, or you can search for a TA in your area that specializes in cruises and speak to them about it. Nobody on here can help you with pricing.

Hi, you can show up between those times and no, you don't have to be in and out in 1 hour's time.

Hi BB, either one is fine with me.

LOL......there are actually way more than just 2.😃

Glad to help🙂

Good morning, oh, we have rye bread........(all kinds of it)but my particular FAVORITE NY Jewish Rye is no longer being distributed. It was originally called NY Cobblestone Rye. The perfect texture and taste and it toasted beautifully. All the brands on the market? I have tried many of them, Arnold, Pepperidge Farm....etc....they are just not the same as Cobblestone. Publix makes lots of their own breads but even their rye doesn't do anything for me. I might be sounding very picky and maybe I am but when it comes to my bread? I am very sad right now............Oh, I don't shop at Costco or Sam's..........so those are out.

You are definitely blessed. I have no specialty bakery nearby at all☹️ and I was just made ware that my most very favorite rye bread is no longer being distributed. I am sooooooooooo disappointed. and now will have to go on a search to find something to replace it.

I haven't eaten white bread in many years so that is a no go for me on the bread type.

Hi, it is fashion LOL......and that is what I wear. Actually, I have a set I always bring on my cruises and that might be something I will look for and get a new pair🙂. I prefer cotton and so many brands are a poly.........I just feel much more comfortable sleeping in cotton.

Jeanne, OMG........I don't post on the Celebrity forum much anymore and so just saw your news...........my heartfelt condolences and all my love go out to you and the whole family. I remember when we sailed together years ago. I hope you know how much Don was loved. He was The BEST!!!!!!! I wish I could be there to give you a big hug............I have always considered both of you my friends. Even with all the time gone by.......... May his memory be a blessing and may he Rest In Peace.

Ohhhhh..........so sorry........sending you my heartfelt condolences. May your Father-in-law Rest In Peace.

FauxNom, glad you are enjoying your first solo cruise. I have found the staff/crew always treat us solos superbly🙂. They usually offer cocktails each evening in one of the lounges for solos, sometimes they are hosted, sometimes not. It is a very nice way to meet others (if you are interested).

Hi Kat, not sure if you buy clothes over tv or not, but QVC carries quite a few brands of shorts. If you type in "Denim shorts" there are a lot of choices that pop up and they have brands that are not "short short" or ripped and torn.........just a suggestion🙂

I like both kinds but usually buy smooth. As for making PB, many stores now have the machine and the nuts and you can make your own. Yes, it is more $ since you are weighing it out by the pound but did you ever notice how expensive peanut butter is?😲

Hi Mysty, your photos are really beautiful. Thanks for sharing them with us🙂

Hi DW, Jack Russell's are supposed to be very smart animals!
