Happy Halloween!

 

Good morning and Happy Halloween!

Today's image is from the archives.  It was taken in 2016 aboard Freedom of the Seas.

The handsome Chief Engineer on the left is My Honey, Kjell.  The guy in the middle is not only headless, he is nameless.  And gentleman on the right is our friend Captain Toni Calne.

Ah, yes, good times on board!  Kjell's retirement is great.  I was very fortunate to be able to sail with him for the last 20 years of his 31 years with Royal Caribbean.   We miss the people, but we don't miss the job.

We hope you have a safe and happy Halloween!

All the best,

Lois

Cruise Ship Find

 Good morning,

This one is new to me.  For some time there was a "thing" to hide ducks around the ships for others to find.  I haven't seen this character before.

All of this hiding and finding business happened since we retired from cruising nine years ago.   

Interesting....

Sweaters - Halifax, Canada

 Good morning,

If you forgot to bring a sweater on this cruise, you will certainly have plenty of choices to purchase one or many more.

These are for sale in Halifax.   Since Catherine sent me the image, I didn't get to see the labels to see if they are hand made.  I don't think these are, but they are beautiful.

What a fun itinerary!

All the best,

Lois

Port of Halifax, Canada

 Good morning,

Catherine and Erica are in the Seaport of Halifax, Canada.

Kjell and I visited this and other ports on this itinerary more than 20 years ago.  There have been many changes!

All the best,

Lois

Froggie Towel Art

Good morning,

One of the fun things about cruising aboard Royal Caribbean ships is returning to your stateroom and finding towel critters made by your cabin attendant.

I'm guessing this is a froggie.  Any other ideas?

More to come....

Dinner at Chops - Brilliance of the Seas

 Good morning,

Catherine and Erica enjoy the specialty restaurants aboard  Royal Caribbean ships.  Chops is a favorite! 

 This time she ordered Rack of Lamb.

Oh, my, so good!

Enjoy,

Lois

Lily Update

 Good morning,

Thanks to all who have asked about our Lily following her surgery to remove a very expensive sock from her small intestine.  See posts earlier this month for details.

Lily is doing very well!  It's about a week and a half since surgery and we are having a time keeping her calm.  Her long incision looks great!  

On the 30th, she will have her stitches removed and she'll be able to romp and play again.

Is that doughnut cute or what!

All the best,

Lois
