philpcruiser Posted July 14, 2015 #201 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Those last two "tools" are the most important of all, provided you've got available hootch!How 'bout adding a grill to your list? Would be nice for you to hold a BBQ out on your veranda.They make a folding version, don't they?!!.....just a suggestion. Aha! You gave me a great idea! Nowhere in the "Prohibited item" list do they say that a still is not allowed. We can make our own moonshine for free. It should be Ok, as long as we don't set it up inside the cabin. I have some spare space outside my cabin so it should be no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengkp75 Posted July 14, 2015 #202 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Chengkp75- I too want to thank you for your service to our country and here on these boards. Thanks for the shout out to the WW II merchant marines.my dad and uncle both served in that capacity. My uncles boat was torpedoed and he spent several days floating in the ocean. They both eventually received their honorable discharge papers and we're thrilled. ( dad even used them once for a cruise discount and was so proud. Our family was humbled to have 3 different military members at his graveside when we bid him farewell. My thanks to them, and my deepest gratitude. Hoping not to get a "friendly reminder" from the hosts about thread hijacking, or advertising, I'd also like to make a shout out to my alma mater, the US Merchant Marine Academy. Kings Point is the only federal academy of the 5 to have sent their undergraduates to war zones, and during WWII 142 students lost their lives. For this reason, USMMA, not West Point, or Annapolis, is the only academy entitled to a Battle Flag bearing the streamers of the battles that merchant mariners participated in during WWII. Sorry, just had to put that out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpcruiser Posted July 14, 2015 #203 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) Then she should get along perfectly with my DD8! Cool! We can identify each other at the connection party by showing our "DD's". It will be nice if they can have someone their age to talk to on this trip. Not sure how many other kids their age will be on this Celebrity cruise. Edited July 14, 2015 by philpcruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who has served in uniform is a hero. The merchant mariners were, and still are civilians who were in essence drafted into service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the ones who volunteered are heros. I wonder what would happen today if we needed to fight a war. A draft? That would never happen. Volunteer? Nah, let someone else do that. Its scary.

Tall Jersey Girl Posted July 14, 2015 #211 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Cool! We can identify each other at the connection party by showing our "DD's".It will be nice if they can have someone their age to talk to on this trip. Not sure how many other kids their age will be on this Celebrity cruise. Someone recommended a meet up with kids on the first day before sail away. I'm going to see if there is any interest on our cruise thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never have guessed (which is why I am now single, and I always referred to him as the A**H****) Thanks for the chuckle :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelsea57 Posted July 14, 2015 #213 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Just coming off Celebrity Summit this past June, I can relate to some of the issues some of you had. Even though our cruise did not have to come back to port to get repaired. The Summit is in desperate need of an over halt. I did not care for all the rust in the cabin's bathroom, even mold at the bottom of the sink and how dated the decor looks. A couple of port days we were getting off the ship and had to dodge the condensation coming down from the ceiling. This was our first time on Celebrity and we don't think we will be coming back. The service at the MDR was very slow, we missed most of the shows because of this. Going back to Royal.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were beautiful ships but age has caught up with them. You may want to check out the S-class ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
