Anything going out to 2023?

You know you overdid it at Thanksgiving when the Tupperware shouts, " Where are the leftovers?"

For anyone who's sailed on a past Thanksgiving - how many actually had the turkey?

Sorry - I didn't answer the question - Jamies for lunch - like the sandwiches, Giovannis for dinner (like the food and evening atmosphere).

Over 20 in UK , NY had one, maybe Vegas too.

Nice location for quicker turns on Caribbean based larger ships. Maybe not so susceptible to collapsing cranes.

Didn't Jamie's land based restaurant operation go under? Are the RCL based restaurants the last ones standing? https://fortune.com/2019/05/21/jamie-oliver-restaurants/

One of the US vaccines (think Pfizer) has a cold refrigeration requirement (-60 not sure C or F), but either way, creates a logistical speed bump for distribution - but it is surmountable. May have to go out and buy Dip-n-Dot freezers...

What's interesting about this topic's title, " Fake, Made Up and Completely Impossible Virtual Cruise Blog " is that it actually applies to most of the cruises all of us are booked on for most of 2021.

A pirate walks into a bar, and the bar tender asks, "What's with the paper towel on your hat?" The pirate replies, "ARR - I got a Bounty on me head! "

Wondering if we'll see those longer itinerary just split in 2, with the need then to rebook to one of the pieces? I have an 11-day booked for March - obviously won't go as an 11 from FLL. Then B2B (7) in June from Venice - which may fall under different rules.

Don't think I'll be playing the Black Friday game this year. Already have FCC to float to booked cruises I know will be cancelled. Really want to see the later half of '22 and early '23 for next round of reservations.

Our cruise was obviously cancelled this week, yet we were teased by Muster 2.0 warnings - BUT we went to the beach for a long week-end anyway!

Can see why it might make sense. Focus resources on the highest revenue points of origin at the beginning. And open up gradually. Its going to be a long and slow slog up the muddy hill.

I can see how the line might "derive" a shortfall. On a cancelled cruise, I used OBC to pre-purchase a number of specialty dining experiences. After the cruise cancelled, I received a cancellation notice with a refund note for the dollar value of those dinners. But they were NOT purchased "out of pocket" by me, but I used OBC (that I had already in against my cruise account). There was an additional note stating it originated from OBC - and wasn't expecting any kind of refund. Haven't thought about it since you posted - so could see that if they somehow refunded to a credit card, that OBC becomes real cash, but not in their favor. Interesting. (Technically OBC is baked into the pricing so its real, you just see it as play money)

Hotel Continental Rome. You can pay with these. Ask the sommelier for a tasting.

Might be enough distributed to save Q4 ‘21 but wouldn’t bet on it yet. If we see early distribution this year would feel better about it

Chasing me down (turning the knife)

I hope I don’t get booted from the ship

Of course anyone from FLL who wants to run the drill for me?

I just received a message on the Celebrity app that I have 3 hours to complete our muster safety drill. I’m going to blow it off this time just for fun.

Guess making cashing in on double C&A points moot..

And asymmetric. It's an interesting wind feature.
