@Seasick SailorDid any of the venues offer a much better lobster than the others? If you had to pick one, which one would it be? Thanks!

I would like to start with the beef sirloin wrap, then the pork schnitzel with steamed veg. and end with the pear streusel with vanilla ice cream. And of course, coffee with Bailey's. Thanks again!

@Vict0riannMy carrot cake is very similar but adds 2 tablespoons of finely grated orange rind.

Some ships have outlets behind the bed. I think it’s mainly the older ships. We plug in the cpap machine but lose the bedside light. It is a European style plug.

Beef Wellington, market salad, steamed veg, carrot cake and I’m not forgetting coffee with Bailey’s this time. Thanks!

Fantastic news hearing Baby Murphy is home. Thanks @bennybear for the fabric store location. In less than 2 weeks we’ll be staying half way between Kona and Hilo for a week so will definitely check it out. @ger_77 wow on the snow. It snowed off and on all afternoon here yesterday but it was 41 degrees! Weird!

Wow! That's quite a menu. Enjoy!

@bennybearThe fabric store sounds interesting. Where is it located? Thanks!

I'm not sure but from some of the reports on steaks from the Pinnacle Grill, that butcher knife may be needed. (Sorry, couldn't resist when I saw that item)

The real question is how many skeins of yarn will the bag hold? 😊

Thanks for the link from the HAL boards. Can't wait for dinner time to arrive!😊

I really don’t mean to be snarky but I keep hoping for an update on the dogs or the ship. Instead it’s something entirely different.

Thanks for all the information. The photo is a bit blurry (on the big screen) but it looks like the date for the 28-day Coral Triangle is incorrect. It was changed quite a while ago to January 4.

What about people playing games or reading during busy meal times in the Lido? Irritating when you're holding your plate and there's no place to sit down.

I wish he’d filmed at 8:30 when the sticker time expired. Or even later when someone finally showed up to claim “their” chair.

Ours is a Nexus renewal too. I wonder if that’s the difference?

Lucky you! I will keep checking. At least the old cards are still good. We have several flights scheduled and I'm spoiled with Pre-Check.

@StLouisCruisersI may be off track but I wondered if you had doublechecked your Global Traveler renewal. I started the renewal January 21 and it is still pending. When I go to the page to check, the first thing that comes up is a green approved stripe but if I look closer, it's the old one. I have to scroll to the top of the page to find the current renewal info. Thought I'd ask, just in case.........

Good luck! We'll be on a Holland America cruise through Indonesia in January. Don't think I'm looking forward to the visa process! And there's some kind of arrival paperwork to do for Singapore. Ugh! But cruising is worth it!

Have you checked to see if you can get the visa while on the ship? I think it was on a Holland America post that I saw where the visa could be obtained through the ship.

It was only 2 weeks from diagnosis until his passing.

Thanks to all for the kind words on the loss of my grade school friend. I did find out he had CJD which shows signs of dementia but is an always fatal brain disease.

And I’m afraid I have to report another sad dementia death. A good friend from grade school/ top graduate of my high school class, has succumbed to a fast onset dementia. A blessing that he and his family didn’t have to suffer through his particular diagnosis.

I think you can call the general Holland America customer service phone number and they will connect you with the correct department.

Have you called to see about getting the new package? Might be worth it or maybe you’d lose more than you’d gain.
