Based on experience, I know what I'll get...a whole lot of "NO".

With a side of "There's nothing we can do about that".

Followed by. "Next!"

 

Hashtag Truth

And to follow up on that..."no because (insert made up explanation)"

Wondering that itching feeling in your back?  It’s the laundry sticker…LOL!

 

I have one sock that has the sticker permanently embedded. I plan to bring it with me on my next Behind the Scenes tour and request the Chief of the Laundry Department to have it surgically removed.

No s#!T

Escalate the matter to head of Guest Services onboard, with the clock running against you ... then to HD, or go straight to him - they already know you are feeding these live on CC.  

 

Hey, it's usually good 😁 for a bottle of wine & some more treats, compliments from ... (with their "apology" of course, sail & sustain, for y/our (in)convenience.

True…leaving day after tomorrow.  So, probably won’t bother.  Maybe leave a comment card, however!

I forgot to take them off hubby's shirts before washing and now they won't come off🤬

Thanks for all the suggestions for my blistered heel.  Not healed but tolerable enough I’m headed out.  

 

I keep thinking….”when’s the next time you’ll

be here…what’s a little pain…suck it up buttercup and get out there”.  So, off I go.

Is it my turn yet?  😄 
Have a great end to this leg of your journey and happy start to your next, @graphicguy. 

I appreciate all of the shares of picture and experiences.  It's really gotten me into cruise mode.  Epic - here I come!

[GALSews]

I really like the picture of the spices.

Good on ya! You gotta explore while you can. Don't let a little blister keep you out. Drain that sucker and keep on trudging...well that's what I did last week anyway...but I'm a sucker for punishment.

 

Keep those socks dry and you should be ok! Looking forward to lots more photos even though I think this cruise is getting close to the end? I wish I had been here for more of it!

I think OP is in France, not Spain. BTW loving the photos, makes me miss Europe!! I also liked the pictures of the spices!

[graphicguy]

Obviously…sadly….this trip is coming to an end.  To say this was a trip of a lifetime would be an understatement!

 

In brief, it was fantastic.  A few warts here and there, but still the best cruise I’ve ever taken on any ship, on any cruise line!

 

I’ll have a complete review forthcoming! And, many more pics!

 

Thanks for following!

Thank you for sharing your journey! So pleased to hear you had a fantastic experience. I know it's not over for you yet. How long is your stay in Italy?

 

[Travelicious]

Will you be posting any photos or anything from the rest of your trip?

[depplep]

Literally the biggest piece of Prime Rib I've ever seen! If they have that on the Encore in a week and a half my husband will be a happy man. Can't wait to hear your wrap up.

Have to share this while it’s still fresh

 

Went to the shop to get some way overpriced aspirin for the painful blister.

 

Go to the cashier and there’s a lady choosing between about a dozen $2 charms.  

 

After 5 mins of watching this, I ask the cashiers if I can just pay for the aspirin while she’s busy choosing.  He says he already started ringing her  up. She states she’s almost done.

 

5 deep at the counter and another 5 minutes. I put the aspirin on the nearest counter and decide my pain is more tolerable than that whole scene!
