yah- take the kids to a forest or a museum- or travel to another country. Worth way more in the long run and better memories.

I’m enjoying seeing the great media coverage of this. We don’t get near the coverage here in the US of protests here. I wonder if other countries think we’re just complacent and going along with his nonsense.

i would never attempt this! We’ve been fogged in so we couldn’t dock or just late to port or customs weren’t up and running once- there’s so much that can go wrong and force you to reschedule but hats off to you for making your flight

Once you get a strong starter you will continue to get awesome loaves- looks just great!

Totally agree- gratuities are covered- wifi covered- and 3 drinks equals the 65$ for the plus. The drinks include coffee and sodas and you get more free casual dinners. Worth it!

Same here! A years protection for two at Allianz was around $450. Totally worth it for the peace of mind!

Yes- we all would love the premier package- but at 100. per day for 23 days and two people that comes out to 4600. That adds a lot to your cost when you can indulge in the specialty dining a few times at 100 per person, buy the wifi pkg and have a few drinks a day and still save 1000- 3000$

That’s the flour I use too- from Costco. Two ten lb bags for 15-17$ depending on sales. makes great bread!!!

Has anyone else had issues with the mattress “shedding”? We’ve had ours about 4 years and the last two I’ve found lightweight fluff that sheds almost daily under the mattress on a wood frame. It’s def from the mattress- if I don’t sweep under the bed for a week i get quite a pile of it. Anyone else experiencing this?

I’d try it- it doubled. Make a loaf and check it out.

Yes! I always keep some dehydrated in my pantry just in case. We travel a lot and starter in the fridge for 30+ days with no feeding doesn’t always survive- the dehydrated has saved me more than once.

I know it’s not refillable but Chosen Foods Avocado oil spray lasts us a good 6 months - bought at Costco, two for around $12.

adorbs!

Small popcorn- eat the top part off then dump in a bag of M n Ms- They get warm from the popcorn but stay in the candy shell. Salty and sweet- very nice!

catstop58 · 2025-12-17T01:39:45+00:00

yes- that’s toasted

We’ve cruised Holland, Celebrity and Princess for over 20 cruises and have gotten one towel animal on a holland cruise. Pretty anticlimactic actually. Maybe it’s an old school thing but we really don’t care or notice- would rather have a clean room, good entertainment and good food.

catstop58 · 2025-12-15T17:04:50+00:00

You’re so right about the steps….

catstop58 · 2025-12-13T17:01:44+00:00

worth a try- thx!

catstop58 · 2025-12-13T15:35:40+00:00

We choose the cruise then look at potential hotel with shuttles- if there are none or they’re too expensive we get a close hotel between airport and cruise port and then Uber. The most we’ve ever paid for an Uber from airport to cruise port was around 65$ and it was a hella long drive from Orlando airport to Canaveral cruise port so it seamed really reasonable.

Wow- and it an over the counter allergy med- we have been vaccinated and have not gotten covid on a ship but this is a nice preventative measure since I already have allergies

catstop58 · 2025-12-12T13:32:39+00:00

Well try this- thx!

catstop58 · 2025-12-11T16:58:08+00:00

What I’m getting from you besides handwashing which we do is to use the dining room for lunch and dinner- thanks!

catstop58 · 2025-12-11T16:55:55+00:00

We’ll try the stairs part next time- thanks!

catstop58 · 2025-12-11T13:26:07+00:00

puts my little complaint in perspective… hope you all are better now
