Posted by a former co-worker on a different platform: Perspective on the virus: 1. Half of us are going to come out of this quarantine as amazing cooks. The other half with a drinking problem 2. I used to spin that toilet paper like I was on Wheel of Fortune, now I turn it like I'm cracking a safe 3. I need to practise social distancing with the refrigerator 4. I still haven't decided where to go for Easter - the living room or the bedroom 5. Every few days, try your jeans on just to make sure they still fit. Pajamas will have you believe all is well in the kingdom. 6. I don't think anyone expected when we changed the clocks, we'd go from Standard Time to the Twilight Zone 7. This morning, I saw my neighour talking to her cat again. It was obvious she thought her cat understood her. When I got back into the house, I told my dog and we both laughed. 8. My body has absorbed so much soap and disinfectant lately that when I pee, it cleans the toilet. 9. I'm so excited it's time to take out the garbage. What should I wear? 10. I hope the weather is good tomorrow for my trip to "Puerto Backyarda" cos I'm getting real tired of "Los Livingroom" 11. Classified ad: Single man with toilet paper seeks woman with hand sanitizer for good clean fun 12. Better 6 feet apart than 6 feet under....!!

This is about 10 days old, but... (no, I am NOT a fan of either not-so-Big Blue or THE!!!!! Ohio State University)

@mathbees wasn't wrong!

RC must put HEPA FILTERS on its ships
HeWhoWaits replied to Eric Chao's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
It most certainly IS airborne. Otherwise, there would be no need for filtering N-95 respirators (commonly incorrectly called "masks"). -
Now might be the time to pull that full case trigger!

That's from a Rodney Dangerfield bit.

Quick and easy history opportunity is the National Museum of Bermuda right at the Royal Dockyard where you'll be docked. It is self guided and very informative. Cost is $15 for adults. (A quick check of the website https://nmb.bm/ indicates that it is currently closed to the public due to the Coronavirus) Haven't taken it but there is an Historic Forts of Bermuda excursion offered in the Cruise Planner. Seems like one to explore (I've been to a few of the forts individually). And if your interest in history includes the United States Civil War/The War Between the States/The War of Northern Aggression (pick your favorite descriptor), the Bermuda National Trust Museum in St. Georges is located in the building that was the headquarters for Confederate agents during the war and includes a permanent display related to blockade runners and the role played by Bermuda.

Either Meat and spaghetti or meat and noddles

Use the stick on the umbrella to drill a hole through the hot dog and use that as your straw. -
The best reason to watch the Winter Olympics!

For us, an aft balcony is worth a 10% premium on the equivalent cabin somewhere else. Sadly, our Coronavirus-cancelled Grandeur trip this year was an aft JS. Not easy to come by.

REAL ID Act starting on October 1, 2020 !!
HeWhoWaits replied to princevaliantus's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
At most it should have been extended by the length of time that the "official panic" lasts. -
After the fact it may seem outrageous to you, but the fact is: You received an offer that you found acceptable and you took it. Royal Caribbean is honoring that offer and expects you to do the same. Nothing outrageous about it.

May 9 Grandeur still shows as 42 days.

Our four-year old granddaughter would LOVE the original dish. Two of her favorites are hot dogs and pasta. (Don't get me started on "chicken and french fries" though) -
But as an individual, I cannot place a hold (WITHOUT making a payment) preserving rate and room. I am required to pay a deposit RIGHT NOW (with a short window to cancel with no penalty). Preferential treatment given to Travel Agents that get paid by Royal for the work they do seems counterproductive since my booking directly doesn't incur any such cost to the company.

I can be there from Winterville in a little under two hours!

30 Day Extension on Cancelled Cruises
HeWhoWaits replied to shoreline's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
This news forced a change to my signature. -
When the border opens back up, you'll have to make a seltzer run. Doesn't have the same cachet as a beer run, but... (starts singing Bee, double E, double R, You, Enn, Beer Run)

A more accurate description would be "they are waiting until it becomes necessary to cancel additional cruises." There is danger in cancelling cruises that can go forward. I would be at least as comfortable getting on a cruise ship TODAY as I am to go to Wal-Mart to pick up filters for the air system in my house. I was in Wal-Mart doing just that on Saturday, which should tell you about my comfort level.

It's not a buffet if it isn't self-serve. It's a cafeteria.
