Lizzie68 Posted January 31, 2016 #26 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Another bonus. We don't have to go to Muster Drill. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Excellent! That decision seems to vary ship to ship. On one of our repositionings we didn't have to do the second drill either, but on another one we did.

Rare Scrapnana Posted January 31, 2016 #36 Share Posted January 31, 2016 NA is scheduled to depart right now (3:30) but without a zoom can't tell if anything is going on. Haven't heard anything on the radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vict0riann Posted January 31, 2016 #37 Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) I'm here too, cottage cheese salad in hand (and hopefully not in computer!). I've been polishing silver :p ( I think that's the first time I've used the stick-out-tongue smilie!)

Rare erewhon Posted January 31, 2016 #41 Share Posted January 31, 2016 We've had a wonderful first week with 2 couples, and have been joined this afternoon by 2 more. We've enjoyed our first bottles of champagne, and are readying for muster drill. An unexpected surprise was to see 2 crew members who remembered us from our Baltic cruise 4 years ago, and our trans-Atlantic 2 years ago. What a shock when they see you in the corridor and address you by name! Love it!! Smooth Sailing! [emoji3] [emoji3] [emoji3] It is always a surprise when crew members remember us, and come and speak, one person who had been our room steward called out to me in a hallway and gave me a hug. It's good to catch up with their news. Enjoy the rest of your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kazu Posted January 31, 2016 #45 Share Posted January 31, 2016 How's Doc. Get much snow the other day? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Doc is great :). I have him eating out of my hand (literally and figuratively) and lap sitting now too:). Snow was more than they were calling for but not too serious. It warmed up a tad so I am just hoping it doesn't turn into cold snap - then it wifi be a mess. Where will you two be for sail a way? Just catching up - was over at Doc's;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
