Haha, by my estimation, should we sail together one day, we'll see each other from about 1pm to 4pn, when we're out and about and you leave to get ready for dinner. I've been waiting for you and J to pop into the pub to see if our buddy Jackson is there. But i forgot whose blog i was following! And nice pawning off the duck hiding! I suckered 3 kids in the Haven into hiding the 7 ducks that i found on my closet floor that didn't make their way to @Neesa . Enjoying your MDR reviews.

If it's any consolation re: . Norwegian's lobster quality took a nose dive as well. Same in size and quality based on these pics. Unlimited lobster is available in the Haven restaurant and we never bothered due to the overwhelming complaints. Apparently the lobster was fine on days 1 and 2, but petered out by the end of the week.

Many valid FlowRider concerns. Mine is going viral when some clown films me and i wind up on TikTok, shorts bunched up in an extreme wedgie, muffin top hanging out, looking like a wet mop head as i not only wipe out, but i manage to go over the side and land face first on the deck itself. The end. This is why I'd stay on the sidelines and watch with @OCSC Mike He can eat while i have a beer ...

Ohhh, a trip report within a trip report! Loved the comparison! Hoping for your Royal Up! The Grand Suite would be awesome! After debarkation on 10/1 and sailing again 11/19 thanks to Batman, I'm seriously considering buying cruise stuff. Like cruise-only underwear, pajamas, face products etc. Packing is soooo overrated!!

Cruise ship karaoke is such a crapshoot. We tend to avoid it as people tend to sing songs they like to sing but no one else likes to hear. (I once suffered through a friend's Unbreak My Heart and felt I'd done penance for all previous sins). If nothing is going on, we might suffer through, but the rule is the second someone sings something from Greese or The Devil Went Down to Georgia, we're out.

Yum! Meat is murder. Tasty, tasty murder. I draw the line at veal, but lamb is amazing. Though i feel bad every time i eat it .... Is it The Book that no one can follow or The Gift? I can't keep up! Me 3! Do you know i can't help comparing ... Mike booked us on Norwegian over Thanksgiving. Norwegian splits the D+ equivalent on Royal (Sapphire 175-349 points/Diamond 350-699 points). We didn't bother going to the loyalty party, but found out there were a "boatload" of Platinum (Royal's equivalent to Diamond), 29 Sapphire, 6 Diamond, 2 Ambassador (Royal's Pinnacle equivalent). Seems the great benefits on both cruise lines start at Platinum/ Diamond respectively. I wonder how long both cruise lines can keep up with the perks.

Forgive me. We got back Sunday, and as per usual, i was raging ill beginning Monday morning, and am finally just feeling up to catch up. Forgive me as i multi quote one post at a time (for maximum efficiency, of course)... 1) i worked at DD starting junior year of high school through my first 2 years of college summers. Still the best coffee (especially if you find a chain that uses well water like ours does). Starbucks tastes burnt to me, and it's no wonder its nickname is Charbucks. 2) My fave cousin and his family moved from Deerfield Beach, Fl back to NJ. I know they occasionally miss it! He and his wife are both teachers and left FL for much better pay and benefits here though I'm glad to have them here instead. I did tell them they moved in the wrong direction! But no one can tell me we don't treat treat our teachers right here! Sorry, the rest will be cruise relevant, i promise!

I promise I'm not reviving this thread for any reason other than to say ... Hello from Norwegian Getaway where Batman has learned the power of a packing cube for undergoodies, buying cruise-specific undies, and learning to get to the power of 2xN+1 (he packed 11 pairs for 7 nights....) I'm sorry I've been MIA on your current blogs. I'll be back soon!
