Rare John&LaLa Posted November 14, 2019 Author #1077 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Common Ground - Day 3 10am This is the M&M line at around 8:45, I was there to trade a crystal block. More about that later. Unfortunately I could not go to that and get a good seat for the Common Ground presentation, so I dropped off my new block in the cabin and headed to the theater. FYI, the M&M was actually listed in the compass. You don't see that very often. Found a seat with Tony and Dot. They had the pool band playing for us Cute slide showing 1969. I was 7. Given that Flight incorporates the moon landing, I'm surprised that wasn't the basis of this slide Apparently no one worked very hard on the PowerPoint. That will come up later Our panel Michael Bayley's first ship from what i recall Blah, blah, blah announcements Now those that followed along last week know that I was posting 'live' durong this trying to get the scoop on the 2020 President's Cruise annuncement. They did a sham vote to choose the itinerary and ship. We voted by cheering. I still think Ovation in Alaska was the crowd favorite In the end, Mario Salcedo flipped a coin and Allure in the Med won. September 13. Seemed like a good choice. I shared it via Messenger to a few close friends, and then posted it in this thread. That was a mistake. Then the guy in the white shirt appears, and MB looks confused. The date is wrong. 😱 so Ken Rush exits the stage (and possibly his lucrative career) to pow wow with this group He then comes back and announce the date is October 25. Oops Bummer, we can't go early, and the week after is practically sold out. Oh, lots of prizes were handed out. OBC, airfare, BOSE headphones, free cruises, etc.. Other than the snafu a good event, but way longer than was expected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a brand conference a VP of Franchise Sales was announcing a major development deal and named the original partner (who had dropped out and was suing us) instead of the new partner. We all just sat frozen in time, then started debating in whispers, do we go up on stage and stop him. Suddenly he realized what he said, turned a light pale grey and froze in mid sentence. That was the last day I saw him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank God you were there. If I or my family members are ever in a situation like that you have my permission to step in. Who knows if they would have turned him or not. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I have seen special offerings in the jammer as well as during MDR sea day lunch, but they were exceptional on this trip. I don't have pictures, but I understand the MDR lunch on day 6 was really good. Probably better than our Pinnacle lunch.

Rare John&LaLa Posted November 15, 2019 Author #1099 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Phoenix - Straight from Las Vegas http://phoenixclassicrockband.com/ They were really good, I'm sorry Laura missed it. Here is the set list from their website. They played a good portion. Most were shortened quite a bit to fit more in. I got there about 45 minutes early, spent time catching up with you all as I recall 20 minutes till the show. I'll end up standing in front of this diagonal support column. No one behind me Showtime Honky Tonk Woman from my video Far right is Nick Weir. He sounds very British when you talk to him. This is where he and his posse watched from. It's also where I spoke with him about CATS. He is on the far right. He really enjoyed the show Crowd seemed to enjoy the show We voted on the encore. Bon Jovi was the winner. Living on a prayer.
