Rare mahdnc Posted October 27, 2022 Author #251 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I have been sipping on ginger ale and laying out on the couch on the balcony or on the couch in the sitting area. The weather has been cool and misty outside. This is the stuff that Celebrity leaves out of their sales brochures and emails. Kind of like everyone’s idea of marriage when you are in high school. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. Suez Canal, Egypt, Dubai, Holy Land, and India? Indiana Jones itinerary! Singapore is going to be boring for you. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mahdnc Posted October 27, 2022 Author #253 Share Posted October 27, 2022 My wife brought back to our cabin a simple dinner for me from the Ocean View Cafe. Thin spaghetti noodles cooked in butter and garlic with Parmesan cheese added on top. I hadn’t eaten anything of substance all day. It was so good. I’m very lucky (talking about my wife). 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSAtlantic Posted October 27, 2022 #254 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I had suggested to my DH to follow these TA threads in an effort to convince him he would not be sea sick. So glad he never listens to me. He swears by Dramamine, ginger pills, and his new stable- vodka and ginger beer in frequent doses. feel better 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise wizard Posted October 27, 2022 #255 Share Posted October 27, 2022 TA's in the Fall are always "iffy" on weather as the hurricane season runs through the end of October and lots of the depressions run North up the Atlantic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to be the first to go down if and when the seas get rough. It also doesn’t help that we are in an aft cabin where the ship’s motion is magnified and at its worst. Still I have booked aft and bow cabins for 14 out of our 15 cruises with Celebrity (that’s where the FV cabins always are). That’s how infrequent sea sickness hits me despite my sensitivity to it. My wife went to the MDR tonight and reported that it looked like everyone showed up. That’s a better indicator. Show that to your husband!

We stayed at Marina Bay Sands. Yes, it was pricey for us, but for 2 nights pre-cruise, well worth it. The location and amenities are excellent. I've booked the cheapest room an year in advance and got a reasonable refundable rate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mahdnc Posted October 27, 2022 Author #263 Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) We’re had drinks with @wayneg1 (Wayne and Karen) at 5pm last night. They are a most delightful couple. They are happily retired and do an impressive amount of travelling. It is something for me to aspire to. We went to Le Petit Chef last night for dinner. It was for the earlier of the two sittings. I think the place was only 40% full. @biggerboat47 (Ken and Carol) were seated with a couple of friends behind my wife. The menu and show are built around the four seasons. One season for each course. First was spring Then summer followed by autumn And finally winter—dessert time. I spent an extra $20 to buy the wine pairing for each course.

Rare hcat Posted October 28, 2022 #264 Share Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) We want to eat there on BEYOND but not for the Le Petit Chef..

Rare mahdnc Posted October 28, 2022 Author #266 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I played in the blackjack tournament two afternoons ago. I finished fourth at my table which is not good enough to advance. The tournament rules are very loose. The first round is played at only one single table. This means that several games are played in succession for the first round. That gives a huge edge to players playing later within a round because they know the chip score from them prior games. To prevent this, usually each round is done with multiple tables playing simultaneously. You get to play seven hands per game. The player who is dealt the first card is not rotated until the final round. By not rotating where the first card is dealt, the player at the third base position has an edge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whirlybird3 Posted October 28, 2022 #270 Share Posted October 28, 2022 We loved sailing on the Connie from Abu Dhabi to Rome. Question: How is the Persian Garden?

The front desk and infirmary has complimentary sea sickness pill (meclizine). If that does not work, you may consider in going to the infirmary for a prescription of Zofran (for nausea) or a stronger medication would be phenagran (for nausea but will defiantly make you sleepy) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
