WAAAYTOOO

Would we do that to our 51st State ? JK

YIPPEE !!! Safe trip. See you guys tomorrow at Chops for lunch !!!

Safe travels for everyone traveling tomorrow. See you on Thursday !!

You'd be hard pressed to find anything that IS spicy.

I love Caprese salad....except for the one that has the super sweet syrup or whatever it is. I think that one comes from Jamie's. This one looks like one of the "good" ones. Did it have a sweet drizzle or is that just the balsamic glaze ?

I never realized this !

I don't think I've ever heard the word "beer" come out of your mouth...or pour from your fingertips, as it were....

I have a sneaking suspicion that you can. I saw a guy wearing one in the casino and I made a casual comment about how nice it is to be in SC. He didn't even answer me (he was kind of a dickwad, it turns out), which in and of itself doesn't indicate anything....however, I saw him AGAIN on a different ship wearing that purple SC band. I do NOT think he was SC on both of those cruises (of course, I could be wrong....but you just kinda know). My guess is, he wasn't SC on EITHER of those cruises. I think he has been wearing an old SC WOW band. Unfortunately (for us) we never had a purple SC WOW band. All of ours were just regular WOW bands and one of those IS the one that Dan has been wearing and re-wearing. If you try it, let us know if they reprogram it for you. It would be interesting to know.

We just disembarked from a Symphony B2B. The chairs on the balcony in our first room did NOT have zip ties but the ones on our second balcony did…

Yes. They can be reprogrammed for a new/different ship. Dan has one he’s been using for a long time. He keeps getting it reprogrammed for each new ship. The Suites Concierge can do it right at their desk. The only ones that cannot be reused are the old ones that had a muster station written on them.

…and it takes us about 30 minutes to pack, assuming the clothes are clean and my supplement/meds packs have been replenished. @Pooch, I guess it’s taking you a long time b/c of all those NEW dresses you got ! Can’t wait to see ‘em.

There were actually 2 different charters on EX recently. We got off (2-23) when the first one (Star Trek) started then there was an 80s charter cruise that followed the Star Trek one. I am fairly sure that the 3-30 sailing is not a full ship charter. A 10 night charter would be very unusual. We will be boarding on 3-20. There is no non- smoking casino on EX.

1. Yes. You can definitely make adjustments to your rezzies once on board; of course, they are subject to availability but I have always been able to make adjustments…even last minute 2. The $$ dining allocations are good once every day at each venue. You can use it every day at the same location or move about as you wish. E.g., you can use an $20 vouchers at Playmakers, then move down to Portside BBQ and use your voucher there then move to any other venue, etc. All dining package perks work whenever the restaurant(s) is open…day or night. 3. Yes, if Playmakers is open on boarding day (and I believe that they are), you can use your $$ allocation. 4. No specific recommendations. As @OCSC Mike will say, everyone likes what they like. I’d just say, give’m all a try ! Be careful though. The legendary food coma is real. Pace yourself but enjoy !

Changed my mind !
