I will check and ask around on the Trans Atlantic in November

Yes, I booked a manicure & pedicure on boarding day in July (Anthem) - it was a great way to start the vacation!

This was an interesting read, thank you @MattG for asking! I have UDP for the first time ever on my solo TA this Fall, so I’m hoping being only one person they will find space for me (unless they would prefer to keep tables for more people = buying more)…

Wh had the Taste of Royal lunch on Anthem last week, it was on the last sea day in Wonderland. No tickets delivered to the cabin, but a phone message the day before. The menu was seafood-centered, and I had hoped for the World dessert, but it wasn’t. I have gluten intolerance, had informed them ahead of time, but still they did not have a substitute for the first course. And one of us is 17, and they did not offer the kid an alcohol free option for welcome drink, which was really surprising. Here’s the menu (photo) and a picture of my seafood-free risotto and main (sorry about the flipped pictures)

Hopefully @ticoman got the cabins sorted, and the family are enjoying their cruise.

Have you guys been able to book onboard activities or shows? I’m on the same cruise , we are three families in four balcony cabins on deck 11. The younger ones want North Star and escape room, but they are not showing up in my cruise planner. The entertainment and onboard activities are completely empty… We are booked on Path of the Trolls excursion, which doesn’t show up any longer, and the tour departure in my cruise planner is a few hours before we dock. So let’s see of that one will be cancelled. It os the tour we are really looking forward to. OTOH, it will be great to finally (hopefully) be able to go on a cruise! As long as the cruise tests don’t throw any surprises our way!

I received two messages from Orange15, didn’t open the link. Spam/phishing

@twangster, thank you from a fellow Numbers user ?

Ohhhh, any chance you would care to share your spreadsheet layout and formulas? I have been thinking of making one, but would love a basis where to start ?

European cruise with a topless sunbathing area, first time the son, then 12 or 13, and his friends were on a cruise or topless beach. Their disappointed looks - reality didn’t live up to their ideas ?

Thank you for the quick reply! I will keep just the one cabana for all of us, and the thrill-seekers can rover around ? This is the first cruise I'm feeling hopeful about, two have been cancelled and am still unsure about the one we have booked in July 2021 from Italy.

Hi, I am busy planning our March 2022 cruise. It stops in Coco Cay, and I am having a difficult time figuring out how large the “island” is? Is it feasible to set up our “home base” at South Beach/Coco Beach Club, and the people wanting more excitement could still walk over to/from the waterpark, and stop by the beach back and forth?

I’m in northern Europe, and the nearest dive centre is 4 hours away with dives in an old quarry... I guess it would mean getting used to a dry suit, hmmm..

Thank you for writing about your experiences. I had planned to do my PADI certification on a transAtlantic cruise this fall, that didn't happen... I have been thinking if I should plan to get the certification during a western Caribbean cruise to these porta, the dive sites sound nice. But I probably won’t, since we are travelling with another family, have the drink package and suites etc, and I am our translator (we aren’t native English speakers), since it sounds as if me doing PADI will men the others are doing a “traditional vacation” while I’ll be off doing other stuff. And with the others not wanting/daring to do excursions without me... not fair on them. I guess the best plan will be for me to di PADI on a solo cruise, no stress or guilt...

That is a good price for OTW, they are 1931 usd for my march 2022 Oasis sailing... and with my luck I would probably get one on the far left, which from videos look really close to/on BreezyBay. So I will stick with my land based one ? Land cabana might be better if the weather is not too hot, also... Happy to help, hehe ?
