Buffett offered same food just called it something different. No sugar free desserts for us in the diabetic world.

Shows were ok but juggler needs to be thrown overboard. Thankfully his show helped me fall asleep.

I have a suggestion, don't cruise then, and keep working. I'll be going on Liberty in June '24 to Bermuda. Any flaws or issues I see I'll shrug it off. Nothing is absolutely perfect. Plus dealing with any flaws is better than being at work.

Ya. If you don’t have a great excursion planned in Sydney or St Johns….they’re not too exciting!

History and relaxation all in one!
Mostly very good, but there are a few things we weren't happy with.
