For example ..... I'm going through a parking lot earlier here in Cumberland, MD and I find a license tag with something very familiar.....
My brain went straight to "My Time Dining". (Of course, I deleted part of the tag for safety reasons)
Let see who can come up with things that remind them of cruising ..... no cheating, no using Google Images

1012....this may take a while.

Well, to be fair it does work best when you're also in the double-digit dancing stage.

True. But don't they have digits?

Bots don’t have fingers OR toes.  You can’t fool us !

I can't count beyond my fingers and toes.  

Ha ha! You beat me to it @FManke !

Symphony of the Seas Feb. 29, 2020! ?

We spent 12 nights on Serenade last Fall.  If you go up to the Cruise Compass section of this site, you can search for the Serenade compasses and that will give you complete details on what food offerings are available and the times.
In the meantime, Park Cafe, located in the Solarium, is the late night eatery and yes they do serve pizza.  They are open well past midnight. There is not a dedicated pizza only joint. Park Cafe will offer sandwiches, nachos, hot dogs, sometimes other foods in addition to the pizza.
There is no dedicated comedy club either.  I'm not into comedians so I didn't pay attention to how often there was one, but you can see the nightly entertainment in my October 2018 12 night sailing.
Desserts vary each evening.  If there isn't something you like in the main dining room, you can hit the buffet for additional offerings.
I don't know about ordering a BLT - haven't tried it - but you can certainly make one in the buffet.  
Some of the things you are looking for Royal offers in the bigger ships.  Sounds like an Oasis class ship may be more to your liking.

Back when I blogged my first cruise on Freedom last year, I had posted a couple of pictures I'd taken of some art my younger daughter had drawn / painted while we were staying in the hotel pre-cruise. Here's the photo again, for those who hadn't seen...

 
What a difference a year of high school can make! This was Kara's final project for the year in year in her Freshman Drawing and Painting class:

Hand drawn, hand colored, all her own work and effort. I cannot begin to say how proud I am of her, and I can't begin to imagine the career and life she'll have ahead of her as an artist.
Yes, she already has determined that being an artist is her career choice; she wants to major in illustration in college, but may double major in photography after taking photography 1 this year as well, and discovering that even with her benign tremor she is able to compensate well enough to take photos that have gotten her repeated praise from her teacher in that class as well, along with winning many "picture of the week" contests in her class and having some of her photos showcased at gallery events the school has held.

What talent! That girl deserves a cruise.

Welcome Pippa & MD to the RCB! 
Ditto on that Job too.  I sit in front of 3 computer screens at work, but they make me do stuff for my cruise money.

@Jaymac Radio The capitalization of every first letter gave you away.

First I thought they were good friends and later on toyed with your idea, which is most likely more accurate. Maybe @Matt should ban "both" of them for treason! ?

It's likely a very high number, and not surprising. Heck, I hesitate to think about how many people actually logged in in the last 6 months. This is the nature of message boards, but the door is always open for them. 

I had a dream that I missed the 10K mark on the counter because I've been trying to keep an eye on it.  I know...I have problems.  #devotedtoRCBlog

I had a dream last night that I discovered/met @twangster on a disembarkation day of a cruise......that is when you know you spend (cannot say too much) time on here.

Holy moly!
I've often said numbers and stats are nice, but not the focus of what I'm trying to do. I'd rather have a community of 10 people who are supportive, helpful and fun than 10k people who do not talk.
I think it's safe to say that we've retained a good balance of fun and knowledgeable folks here, while attaining a tremendous goal.
The credit lays not with me, but with all of you.  Seriously. These boards do not grow to 10,000 people just because of me. I can't answer every thread, start my live blog ridiculously early (*cough @Lovetocruise2002 *cough), share breaking news or comment for the umpeeth time if @twangster is indeed real.
So many of you have been posting here for years, and others have recently joined and already feel like part of the family. It's been a tremendous journey so far and I am so thankful you are all here to share in it.
A special thank you to the moderators, who help enforce the rules; to some special long-term members who help flag down spammers and alert me when @monorailmedic is being overly annoying; @WAAAYTOOO for answering all those casino threads that I know nothing about; the entire MEI Travel team for helping support our great community.
There's no question the needle is moving in the right direction, and I thank you all once again for being part of this. One of the few regrets I have in the history of this site is not starting the message boards sooner, and today is a great example of why that is.
Thanks all, and let's celebrate with a Kraken and diet coke while onboard a Royal Caribbean cruise!

If you would like to have your cruise listed below, please post your cruise details to the following thread: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/boards/index.php?/topic/17-when-is-your-next-cruise/
Please include the ship and the month, day, and year of sailing

I'd tell ya, but then it wouldn't remain a secret gem. ?

At the bottom of your cruise planner web page, there is a link for "Royal Gifts" where you can arrange for these types of items .
Happy anniversary, Happy Cruising, & Welcome to the forums!
