I went outside my comfort zone and got the Seafood Soup --- Dear God that was good.  The only thing that would've made it better was a little Old Bay

Many of us in New York are without power. I think the last time we had this much of a power loss was Hurricane Sandy in 2012. 
 
On the bright side, cruise itineraries did not have to be altered (even though they did move the ships out of the path).

We’ve had to delete/lock more threads here lately than we like. Please see @Matt’s “Do not do these things.” thread if you are not yet aware:
 

Look man, it's not an addiction. I can quit whenever I want to.

In honor of its being decommissioned by Pullmantur and sold (likely for scrap)...here are some old photos of my (now) wife and I at OLD Coco Cay, with the old girl. Id love to see any photos of Sovereign that anyone else has? 

Although we have a hurricane season every year, at least this year we don't have to experience cancellations, itinerary changes, and missed flight for that reason..  

Which is why I live in the country. LOL

Well, yeah.....thats where all the people are. 

Well, depends on where you are. Our numbers are mostly coming from Charleston, Greenville-Spartanburg, and Myrtle Beach (in that order). Where i live (just across the border south of Charlotte, NC)....not so bad. Y'all c'mon down!!!! In January you can have days where its either 65 and sunny, or 32 and freezing rain. Roll the dice! lol

@crisgold52 You have been blessed to have the funds to do such traveling. Many have not been as blessed as those of us who can travel. I haven't done as much as I would like, but I have been to a few places. I see you went to big cities. Have you ever been to the little towns in places like the NC coast or parts of Louisiana? They have a culture and even language all their own. Big cities are all the same. Little towns, like where I live, are, or can be, a completely different experience. They are often dismissed, but are rich with history. I never said people shouldn't travel outside the US or that Americans don't because they dislike the idea. All I'm saying is that there are many things that most Americans are trying to see first. We want to see what is in our own backyard. This country is falling apart (partly, and please let's NOT go into politics. I hate it.) because many don't go out and meet people that live in the same country and have meaningful conversations.
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." ― Mark Twain, The Innocents Abroad / Roughing It

YES! This is why I decided to try and book a cruise during February! BTW, I love the meme. It's so true for NC too.

I was thinking of driving to Charlotte, NC because of getting a nonstop flight to San Juan, PR just in case my scheduled cruise happens in January.  My back-up plan would be a visit to my sister.  She lives in the Orangeburg area.  A warm day in January here would be 32 degrees because some of the snow might melt.

Well, imagine RC will follow suit, here. I guess every month that passes without a decision just means another future month with no cruising.  Seems theyre saying they need around 3 months from a decision to get everything implemented and squared away? 

Ive done the bourbon trail....well.....a good portion of it. Woodford, Buffalo Trace, Makers, Wild Turkey, Evan Williams, Heaven Hill (makes a lot of different ones), and Willett!  LOVED IT!!!!
