    I agree. That segment was hilarious. Jay, I am sure that being 6'5', many people throughout your high school years wanted you on the basketball team. Apparently, it wasn't your thing though...your two-handed style is comical, but it is so great than you can laugh at yourself while doing those things - such a great perspective. I would have loved Dee's height when I played hoops (I am just under 5'10"); the couple of inches would've helped me.

    It's weird that some cruise lines adhere to the Deck 13 unlucky idea, while others (many European-based) consider Deck 17 to be unlucky. Serenade definitely had the top deck numbered 13, hah... which we find to be a lucky number as well!! :P

    We were on the Nieuw Amsterdam 9/4/21-9/11/21. Everyone was spotting whales except us. We did get lucky on our last day at sea and saw a pod of about 8 whales all blowing at different times. Awesome! They also saw some on the other side of the ship as well.

    We had the same problem with late reservations for RCCL's anytime dining. After a couple days, we figured out a trick: when you're hungry (or as soon as it opens for anytime dining) go to the 'no reservations' line and ask to be seated in your server's section. Works like a charm & you don't have to wait until way past supper time to eat. We're early eaters, too, so 7:30 and later for dinner is too late for us. 👍🏻

But that’s to me not to others. My husband wants to go because he wants to go we will go but doesn’t mean I have to enjoy it. Laugh out loud. I really like your presentations and I am so glad you’re on a Royal Caribbean cruise it seems like everybody else is doing carnival. I enjoy them too but I am at RC guy. 😀
