    "In Situ" means in native habitat it crawled in there.

    Looks like your "in Danger"

    I've never been on a cruise. However the wife has. She signed us up for Icon of the Seas next year. Can't wait. What are some do's and don'ts of boating?

    This is my biologist friend's pic. They let mongooses go to control rats but they ate the snakes.

    Beaches are safe. The real color is just under the surface! Like no rips tides. Usually rocks in shallow warm water (it was cold actually) there's a bunch of tropical marine fish.

    Man there’s so many do’s and don’ts, it’s hard to say. If you can find out where you’re going I’m happy to help. As for on the ship, don’t overpack. Don’t get shitfaced drunk. Do enjoy the food that’s included in the fare. Do try the steakhouse if you can afford it and like steak. There’s plenty more. Feel free to ask questions.

    Awesome. It's on my list of cruises to book. Just got back last Saturday from a 6-day that visited ports at Amber Cove Dominican Republic, Half Moon Cay (Carnivals island - incredible), and Turks & Caicos (also incredible). Had a marvelous time, great crowd on the ship, very few kids running around. Couldn't beat the weather.

    Just booked the next one, a 6-day in November that ports at Celebration Key (Carnivals "new" island), Half Moon Cay, and Amber Cove Dominican Republic again. Why? I keep getting insane deal casino cruises...lol. This free cruise also includes the drink package for both of us. What can I say, I love the slots, and my better half is a Blackjack afficionado. :D

    So far we have 5 trips booked on 4 different lines. One on Carnival in 3 weeks, two on Royal Caribbean - one in May and one in August, one on Princess in November, and one on MSC in December. I think that will put us right close to 60 cruises.

    Nice! What ships for the RC and Carnival? We have sailed on RC: Adventure of the Seas (1x) & Symphony (1x). Carnival: Magic (5x). Just booked the Carnival Vista for November since Magic is going into a brief haulout/layup and remodel, and thinking of RC Icon of the Seas for January. Although trying to get to the next level of Carnival VIPF status so more inclined to sail Carnival until I do. Then switch over and continue working on my RC status. lol.

    Honestly I’d have to go look at the spreadsheet my wife keeps to tell you all of them. Our very first cruise was on the Carnivale in 1992. Tiny ship without stabilizing equipment. We’ve been on Vista a few times and Magic back when it was considered huge. In 26 days we head out on Jubilee. In May it’s Royal Caribbean Harmony OTS. Then Adventure in August. My wife spends lots of time on the slots. If I play it’s dice or blackjack, but I’m not as big a gambler as I used to be. I just want to be in the sun and on the beach.

    This is the ship we were on when we were on the Nile River in Egypt. Only holds 16 passengers and the crew. Great food and we were well cared for on our 4 day trip down the Nile. We have booked this ship again for the total eclipse in 2027.IMG_0813.png
