Old woman here is a bit upset!  
No. Mo. Chips. at Park Cafe?  
What am I going to smuggle off the ship to snack on at the airport now?  

Wow!  The pictures are awesome.  You will never regret buying those pictures.  Question for us older people:  Can the photographer do touch ups on the pictures?

Looking forward to your blog. Loved your last one!  Girl, if you were 20 years older we would be best buddies.

We decided to do Whole 30 this month, and your drink pictures are killing me. I'm living vicariously through all the food and drink photos!

My hubby, grown kids and I attempted to do Whole 30 a couple of years ago.  Some quit at 15 days, two at 16 days, and I was the winner at 17 days.  We were all miserable. Sugar seems to be in everything. Good luck!

Definitely going to get me some chicken noodle soup on my next cruise. 
Also, a bit surprised that cruise ships hand out food and stuff to boats not wanting to be rescued. I wonder where they were going. 

Sounds like a fun trip you have planned!

New Years 

As we disembarked Berty filled us in on some of the New Years festivities   The balloons are up and the Rising Tide Bar and Schooners bar have tickets available for purchase.  It’s cheaper than on Symphony @Lovetocruise2002 only $1600 for a table at the Rising Tide bar.   Schooner Bar was $1600 for front and $1200 for back.   

One New Years he had guests that purchased 17 tickets at $1000 per ticket.  

 

So, where do the “poor” people go for New Year’s Eve?

We are getting shirts made for our star class cruise (only get them every once in a while, not every trip). I mocked up a design saying something like "You are in the presence of a Star" as a joke. The family loved it.

That’s funny!  Just don’t wear that shirt when your genie is going to take you to the front of the line.   

Is the thousand dollars just for the seat, or does it include all the alcohol and someone massaging your back and feet too?  

We are in the 8th floor two bedroom aqua suite Feb 2024. I’m going to wear the Star wow band AND have my star class card around my neck in a lanyard, mainly just to compete with the Pinnacles. When they show me their one pin, I’m going to flash my band and card. There’s a little “Karen” in all of us.

Works still for my mother..and I'm 42

Works for my kids too!  

Just received the genie survey for our cruise the end of February, which I found a bit odd for two reasons. First, over two months out is really early to get the survey, then the survey never mentioned who our genie would be. 
 

Has that happened to you?  What’s everyone’s take on it?  Thanks!

This is what is happening in Calgary the day after we leave.

I do try and stay away from places that need a “dash” to describe their weather forecast.

I don't know why but "old white woman" really cracked me up. 

Years ago, I started referring to myself as the Old White Woman. I thought it would give the reader an idea about what I looked like. Several years ago, someone said to me…..”but you are not old”. She was right.   I was more upper middle age, but I picked a name that I knew I could grow into, and,  just like that, the name truly describes me!  

It’s fun to read cruise blogs while waiting for your turn, so thank you!  My turn is coming the end of February, and it’s just gonna be my “slightly boring hubby” and an “old white woman” on the cruise, so you are going to have some serious competition for most boring blog!  

I’m so stealing your genie sock idea!  My hubby and sons alway receives silly socks for Christmas. Last year hubby and married son received socks with their spouse’s face all over the socks. Unmarried son had his dog’s face all over the socks. His dog’s name is Bourbon so we gave him “I love Bourbon” socks too!  I love your idea of a card each day too. I’m thinking by the end of the cruise your genie should be giving you a tip!    

No way could I eat after my eyes saw that guy with his bear chest exposed.  Gross!  

Really enjoyed reading your posts!  

Sounds like you have planned an awesome vacation!  Enjoy your “fancy” time!

Wow, wow, wow!  Why the hold up?  

I’m older and have been around the block a few times, and have never ever had an upside down pineapple thrown at me. I don’t know if I should be flattered or have the feeling life has past me by!  That said, I chuckled while reading your posts. You make a negative funny. 

I’m a fairly new diamond member. I’m fine as long as you give me my four free drinks. Give them to me anywhere. Just give them to me. 

Wonderful blog. I’m even more excited for our grand oft suite in February. Thank you!  

So darn sweet how you are making sure “mom” is having a good time.
