We have been on the Jewel and Radiance. Love that class of ship. We did a TP, Australia and NZ cruise on the Radiance for 26 days. Loved it.

This also our favorite ship class.

HAPPY 60TH ANNIVERSARY🥰    Looks like you had a wonderful evening with a delicious meal.

Steak and eggs for breakfast?

Steak for several meals! We discussed ordering one ribeye and splitting it…8 oz each, but Dick wanted a filet, so I decided this was one time we won’t consider anything but getting what we want. 
It will be 60 years before we do this again!

Ours too.. love all four sisters.   Perfect, elegant, not too big...not too small.  😉 

[island lady]

OK...doing the happy dance!!  Whoooo...hooo!  

 

Finally got confirmation of the switch from Allure to Wonder (way faster than I expected!).  They were able to keep me in a GS for all three legs...but would have had to transfer on last leg to another GS.  

 

Call to D+ desk, and with some investigation between the rep on the phone and myself, we took us out of all three cabins in favor of totally different GS (all same deck) and all in same cabin in better location (mid deck starboard).   Plus she was able to transfer my missing OBC over for the TA.  

 

Now that really made my day...heck made my week!!  😄

We miss your pictures and your posts 🌺

 

Thank you, Dani.   
 

Things have been crazy around here lately, and I see I am already 66 pages behind.  Not even any pictures to post at the moment.  Hopefully next week things will slow down for me.  
 

I am sure I will be catching up on lots of adventures, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. 

 

Hope everyone has a great day. 

[jagsfan]

Thanks, everyone, for the kind thoughts. 
There were plenty of bumps in the road over 60 years, but we weathered them all, so far.
We’re fortunate that our children live within an hour, even though the next generation seems to stay where they graduated from college!

We lost our youngest to opioid abuse, but his twin daughters and their husbands and little ones live close by. 

Life overall has been good to us; retirement brought time to travel, so we have visited all 50 states, 7 provinces, and at last count, 34 countries. 

We’ve seen and done things our younger selves never dreamed of. 
Cruising and Cruise Critic have added so much to our lives.
I enjoy each and every one of you, love reading the minutiae of your lives, and feel like we’re friends, even though I haven’t met you.

Congrats Pat. That will be quite the experience sailing on a brand new ship. Cheers to you today!

I'm so sorry. This seems to happen to a lot of people some of who are friends of mine. Thank goodness you have the rest of family close by.

Thanks...we are so used to traveling on the older ships...next year will be quite a change for us, doing both Odyssey and Wonder.

Congrats!  I am so jealous. That new suite neighborhood looks sweet. And not needing to change cabins,  excellent.

Nice, we have the same one courtesy of one of our sons. Hope to get there someday!

For those who are still waiting for their post Covid cruise and are missing the cruise experience…full speed ahead to CocoCay

Some Solarium time. Haven’t been too impressed with CK so we’ll try WJ for lunch.  First time there this week.

Best thing about CK is the view , bought the restaurant package for all meals on our 8 day allure cruise.

Love those relaxing sea days.  Jack would be happy with a 7 night cruise to nowhere.  I love the port stops.  Opposites attract, right?

Right!

Dick loves to take off in every port and just wander. I’m done with shopping…when you live in a condo, you have to decide what needs to go when you bring in something new…except for jewelry!

I love being on a quiet ship, getting something good for lunch, and bringing  it back to sit on the balcony with my Kindle and eat in peace. 
With bad knees, I don’t enjoy the beach any more, and I sure can’t get into or out of a chaise lounge. 
The beauty of a cruise is that everyone can do what suits them, and feel totally safe doing it.

I had a friend who loved to sit in bars and listen to conversations. She always said a cruise ship was a dream come true for her. Friendly surroundings and no worries.

Thank you. He never knew his three beautiful grandchildren. Hard times, but we got past it.

CK lunch is not the greatest, very repetitive.  We like the chicken sandwich and the scallops with risotto but the flatbreads are terrible.  My DH loves the tomato soup though, so we go there more than I would otherwise.  I like the variety of the WJ for lunch.
