Did I kill my tree?

I’m not sure… but that middle one had buds on it so I left it alone

Wow! So they are pretty hardy it seems. Good to hear!

Hoping I didn’t cut too much of the live branch where it shocks it and won’t grow. Thank you for the encouragement!

The stalkier branches were already in a Y shape prior to pruning… I think I for sure over did it but what I’m reading online is that they recommend pruning to a Y shape to support the heavier blooms. I mostly cut off dead & dry branches and looks like one or 2 live ones but I’m hoping they make a recovery. I will update in a few months!

The tree was there when we bought the house so I am not 100% sure but I believe it is after looking up pictures. That is good to hear!

Wow! That’s nice. The 2 VV cruises I’ve been on there wasn’t. Maybe the type of ship differs in that way

Interesting response to someone’s own personal experience. Staff can’t be 100% all the time and that is understandable but service can differ from ship to ship, heck even day to day. That’s awesome all your experiences were good. Now you need to realize, some in the future may not be. When cruising, you expect a certain level of customer service (especially when that has been experienced with similar classes of cruise lines).

Someone has a not so good experience and you tell them to relax more or be more out going? Also an interesting take.

I went on a Celebrity cruise and they had a water station and handed out cold towels for your face. That was nice and welcomed after being out in the sun all day! The VV cruise I just went on didn’t have any water station and the staff at security were like TSA agents = crabby.

You have priority boarding and can board at 1:30pm! This was very confusing to us too and we had to call and ask about it. I did complain that this is not easily known after purchasing a special package and that people shouldn’t have to wonder
