Rare John&LaLa Posted November 16, 2019 Author #1128 Share Posted November 16, 2019 In case anyone is still interested, this is what 13 skeins of yarn and 25+ hours looks like. I think the yellow baby set looks like candy corn. 😁 Good night 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coralc Posted November 16, 2019 #1131 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Laura is an awesome crocheter! Look at how perfect those stiches are! They are all the same size and just gorgeous. All I know how to make with a crochet hook are long chains of slip stich yarn. Very impressive items and the hospital should be most appreciative.

tinkr2 Posted November 16, 2019 #1134 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Ok now I am really confused that we did not run in to each other. That is exactly where we watched Phoenix from. We were standing and then the 2 in the front chairs left. It is a great spot for Shows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkr2 Posted November 16, 2019 #1135 Share Posted November 16, 2019 The sailing excursion looks fun. I had it added to my cart and spent 10 minutes thinking about it. by then the decision was made for me. Lol . Next time I will not hesitate to do it. We had a stellar time again at Loterie Farm, it is so beautiful and I recommend it to everyone visiting t. Maarten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could easily apply the "Splendor of the Seas" name to one of their upcoming ships. Granted, it might cause some confusion but just throw the number 2 at the end ala Cunard (QE2, QM2....). I'm not a fan of reusing names or even similar names between cruise lines. When I tell people I sail on Liberty, they'll think of Carnival Liberty or if I say Royal, they think Royal Princess. So now I just say the full name. P&O have reused names for new ships.Arcadia was one that comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He walked all the way back to the elevators and back down the passenger corridor and entered their balcony through their room?

Rare John&LaLa Posted November 17, 2019 Author #1143 Share Posted November 17, 2019 VISA Tropical Neon Night - Solarium Bar Only one VISA event this year. Last year there were 4. 😥 Started at 5:30 and it was crowded. It was pretty, though This was definitely the day I drank the most🍺🍹 Several of the cocktails had Red Bull in them I probably should have skipped this coconut water thing. Lots of food and special cocktails. Ice Sculptors, LED swag, etc. I'm melting We brought the glow sticks, the rings, and the wand. I gave away some glow sticks to folks who got there late, and I gave some of the VISA LED's to kids on promenade later We didn't stay that long, wanted to see Ice show again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted November 17, 2019 Author #1144 Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) 70's - 80's - 90's Decade Party Really not much different than a typical street party. It seems more folks dressed up than usual, that was fun. I actually prefer Oasis because of the elevated bridge. Not sure why Harmony and Symphony don't have that. We got there a little early, but it was packed, so I grabbed a couple chairs from On-Air to wait for the start They gave away a few goodies, I missed the rings We watched from the deck 6 overlook It's really not a very good spot, but we were tired Forgot something. My only interesting picture from the ice show. Edited November 17, 2019 by John&LaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted November 17, 2019 Author #1145 Share Posted November 17, 2019 San Juan Sail Away - It rained After we got back from Pinnacle Luncheon, I decided to grab a beer and head up to the suite deck for sail away One of the cool things about visiting San Juan is the sail away You go past El Moro, the Spanish fort. Well we left late, and by the time we did cast the lines it had started to rain, so I missed it. There is almost no cover up there, and the stairs are exterior. Not somewhere you want to be in the rain So here are a few pictures I took before we left Not El Moro😉 Castillo San Cristobal Gray building right below it is where we had lunch. And yes, we rode a motor coach to get there. 🤣 Main pool Beach pool Definitely getting cloudy Cool thing about 17 is you can see folks going down the slides Furniture under the slides Starboard side Forward. This area is quite a bit different than the first three. No cabanas, but tons of loungers This is right above Hooked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted November 17, 2019 Author #1146 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Flight - Dare to Dream Flight was at 9:30, so I went solo. I got there fairly late, but since I was solo, I had no problem getting my preferred seat in front of sound booth So I took a lot of pictures. Since no one is behind me, I don't think I bothered anyone. It's interesting to see the Hairspray cast performing here. And for those unfamiliar, the story works backwards. Starting in future and ending in the past. Going to Mars Space Station Moon Race Jet Age Not sure how the flight crew ends up in a night club, but hey, it was the 60's Chuck Yeager Women Air Force Service Pilots and Rosy the Riveter. American women in WW2 War of the Worlds Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk I saw both this and the Ice Show twice, I would have gone more if I had the time both are must sees 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted November 17, 2019 Author #1147 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Meal with an Officer - Day 6 at sea This is different than the Pinnacle Luncheon in San Juan. That event is unique to a President's Cruise Due to our large numbers, they held it in the MDR. We had assigned tables. We were at Table 10 It was at the same time as a really nice seafood buffet down on Deck 3, so we missed that. And it was the same menu as last week. To top it all off, Laura booked me a 1:30 massage with Maria, so we had to hurry. Our invitation. Now the photo shoot was cancelled since we did it during lunch in San Juan😁 It's a full house We even had directions Menu cover I had the crab and the halibut again. Skipped dessert A lovely gift was waiting for us Pretty cool crystal block. We have two, so if anyone has a Sovereign, Legend, or Splendour, let's talk. Now, I may have missed out on a really good buffet downstairs, but I had this little baby all to myself. And it was fun talking to Lazlo Made it to Maria in plenty of time. I highly recommend a Swedish massage after a nice bottle of wine. 🍷 FWIW, the spa and casino were by far our biggest expenses for these two weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted November 17, 2019 Author #1148 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I've already covered the gold party, so all that's left is day 7, and the drive home. I'll try and do that tomorrow morning while Laura is at church good night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare John&LaLa Posted November 17, 2019 Author #1150 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Speaking of Crystal Blocks. I mentioned this on the Crystal block thread, but I'll share it here as well. The image in the Symphony block is way different than the other three. I've noticed it before, but thought it might be the way the JPEG is rendered. It's not. The proportions are way off. It's like someone squeezed it Bow to Stern Harmony block looks pretty much the same as Oasis and Allure except for the added slides Symphony is very cartoonish. It does have a lot of detail, though. Oasis in real life, looks very similar to the Harmony block Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
