Arzeena Posted December 17, 2021 #40953 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) Royal Caribbean sends email with new masking protocols when on board. For me, who has not really thrown the mask in the garbage (yet, and still wears it in stores and public places) it makes no difference, but those who do not want to wear one will not be very happy. We sail after Jan 5, but still got the email with link. As Sue would say it is what it is! Edited December 17, 2021 by Arzeena 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Beach Island comes on approx. 8 mins. into the video, Thank you for sharing the video. We go to Kubels on a regular basis. Great food. Everyone always like to visit the Anthony Bourdain booth that him and his Father always ate at as they have a family history on the island. I cannot wait to get back to the island. We were planning on going back down to house before Christmas but haven't made it. We might make it back for New Years Eve weekend to check on our house and see our neighbors. But we also want to "quarantine" ourselves as much as possible to avoid testing positive for our Jan 9th cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Momof3gurlz Posted December 17, 2021 #40957 Share Posted December 17, 2021 So I received my Golden Ticket today! Many of you ladies may relate to this. I had my annual mammogram last Thursday. I always refer to this time of year as “hell week”. My mother died of breast cancer at age 67. Now granted, she didn’t go to a Dr for literally more than 30 years ( she was afraid they’d find something wrong with her - ha) and there isn’t any other family history but it’s still always in the back of my mind. Plus, about 75% of the time I get a call back a few days after the mammo to come back in for an ultrasound. My mind immediately goes to worst case scenario, even though I know this is common. I’ve also had a cyst drained & biopsied (clear) - stress through the roof for an extra week on that one. So anyway, I’ve been dreading the call back since last Thursday. Each day that goes by without a call, I feel a little better. Today in the mail I receive my “ all clear”, telling me everything looks good, see you next year. I told myself if everything was good, we’d book a trip somewhere warm during Jan or Feb. But now I’m ticked off that with the way this virus is going, that’s not the best idea 🤬. Maybe we’ll just rent something in FL for a few weeks, we can always drive. Anyway, I deserve a glass of wine or 4 tonight. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every year, they have sent us a photo calendar, and we always enjoyed seeing new photos each month. We didn’t get one in 2020, because they were in “lockdown”, so they weren’t taking photos. Typically, each month had a theme for activities occurring during the month. This year, they have still been working from home, so many of the pictures in the calendar are ones we sent to them from our “summer of fun with our grandson”. So it is summer every month, and we will be reliving those moments with each turn of the calendar. My Pennsylvania grandkids have been doing artwork calendars, and I hope we get a new one from them for next year. Our Christmas celebration will be this Saturday at our house. Our Pennsylvania grandkids will be opening all those presents under our tree. I love these calendars. The artwork one is a great idea too. A few years back a colleague gifted me one that was of my cruising photos - using the photos from my FB page. Loved it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deb, glad for you and wishing you many more years of "golden ticket". Luckily, I have no history of cancer in my immediate family, but I'm all for "preventive" measures, and, if a test is available, I take advantage. Here a "mammo" is provided free for over 60 (every 2 years), and my family doc always "supplements" it with a referral for an US at the same time. Might save you time and stress 75% of the time? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
