The water looks a little calmer in the canal, thank goodness 🙂

That’s very interesting.  Do you have their new schedule? I bet we will also change plans. At least I’m hoping so. No sense in putting anyone in danger.

just now getting started reading this thread and getting caught up due to no time, what with work and having to take care of my 2 year old grandson with the flu since he had to be quarantined from his baby brother.  Loving your pics and writing.  I so want to do a world cruise some day!

I have an identical (well, cheerers are different, perhaps) picture I made from the infinity-edge plunge pool on Splendor during our cruise 54 weeks and 2 days ago.

Not germane to the topic at hand, but I just realized that I have browsed your blog before and have been really impressed with both your travel photos and commentary. You have a really nice artistic touch and are a good writer who makes interesting and astute observations. Thank you for sharing your travels with the world!

When did you get notice of this?

 

I signed up for the next one today

see you there🍷

When we boarded the ship this was in our suite.

You had a beautiful transit yesterday and looks a nice day today in the Pacific. Thanks for the pictures, they are lovely. The Canal is one of our favorite cruises….we have done it 7 times, once on the Mariner which is the perfect ship for that transit.

 

The wine tasting looks wonderful!

 

Thanks for taking us along.

[crusin7]

The Escorts say Good Night.

Goodnight Chrisy, Jim and Cathy.  Your lunch looked magnificent - shame we couldn't share it for real!!

[crusin7]

Relaxing in Puntarenas.  We walked to town and browsed the street vendors.  It is HOT!

Hi Crisy! So sorry to hear you are sea-sick. FWIW, when I was on the Baltic cruise I was sea sick as well. A fellow passenger gave me ginger PILLS and it worked wonders for me! Literally within 45 minutes I was up and about and made to the Horizon Lounge to watch the waves crashing over the bow...if I recall they were capsules with real ginger powder. Not sure if they are available on board, but they really helped me and they had no side affects. 

 

I hope you feel better soon-I am really enjoying your pix and posts.

 

What you may be looking for is Dramamine Non-Drowsy Naturals with Ginger (please Google them for complete information).  They are made by the company that makes regular Dramamine but do not contain whatever makes people drowsy.  We have used them (the capsules) many times with no side effects.
