For a Canadian, your command of the English language is amazing. I’m sure an MEI agent will be able to understand you.

Enchange rates will be the biggest challenge.

We were called by our zodiac group number to the deck 5 lobby for an inspection of our outerwear,  

So long as contaminant inspections are limited to outerwear, embarrassment should be minimal. 

I booked a Norway sailing for June 21, 2024.

This booking was made when itineraries released in November 2022 and surprisingly had kids sale free.

Maybe she went there for supplies.

Captain deemed the New Years Eve Sangria supply insufficient.
Nearest Costco was Algeciras.
Very few stores West of the Azores.

At 1,440 m or 4,724 feet, the runway is a decent size but well short of the runway length found at most larger airports.  Hence the need to take off with minimum fuel given the luggage that us cruise guests love to pack.  We'll have just enough fuel to make Punta Arenas.  

Will Silverseas be weighing guests during the cruise and potentially rationing buffet access to insure safe takeoff on flight home?

My boyfriend and I will be on this sailing. We can’t wait!

Aruba is the proposal king of the Caribbean.

Just saying.

I was truly surprised for one of my wife’s pregnancies. 
I hired a new pool guy.

Other than this scenario, based on sixth grade sex education, abstinence is the only 100% way to not be “Surprised” with a pregnancy*

I am hoping to go from Zero to Prime during the week of Feb 24th! 

There are support groups to assist in alleviating this aspiration. 

All 8 guests in 9730 or just your family of three?

The biggest house rivals an inside stateroom in size.

I got 11:30 and a second later only 12:00 was available for my wife. So, definitely got lucky myself but they went fast. 

I’m sure you will eventually meet back up with her on the ship.

Yes, seen plenty of photos and it's definitely out of water, but that could mean anything. There may be some additional work to do under the water line. 

I heard somebody forgot to put thread sealant on drain plugs. 
 

Oops.

For now.  Don't count out rising sea levels  

A seemingly innocent sweet young lady named Greta said the same thing. 

Sailing in less buoyant warm water can lower vessel height. Additionally, lowering salinity will reduce buoyancy. 
Mean sea level also changes with tides. Speed, with certain water depth can create force pulling ship down. 
 

Summary- at full speed, during low Spring tide, with a large inflow of warm fresh water, Icon will fit under lots of bridges. 

I would not bring kids. 

If I was a kid I also wouldn’t want to go.

wine is a big part of event. I have done without wine and enjoyed. 

According to Dr. Seuss,

Someone had a cat in the hat. 

From opening schedule for deployment the week of December 4th release is for sailings July 2025-April 2026.

This should lead one to assume Star will begin sailings sometime in July 2025

I’d love to bring my favorite Clydesdale horse on my next cruise. It is my comfort animal of choice. 
In order to have a chance to smuggle this horse onto the ship I first need to get it with me on a flight to Miami.

Is Chef's Table complimentary with Star Class UDP or does it still require an additional surcharge?

Complimentary. If you do the wine with it there is a $25 charge.

Did you head back to ship at noon?

This ship has a beef problem...this is "corned beef" from the reuben.

If you had said that was a mummified foot, I would have believed you. 

Pro tip to deter magnet theft-

Use super glue.

My superglued magnet lasted entire sailing…..and was still there when I sailed the following year.
