Tuesday Live Stream @ 7:30PM EST with Brandon - The Weekend Cruiser! 

The best thing and the Icon is all of the seating that is not in a bar. There are tons of options where you can see the water. I missed that on Symphony

Brandon, I'm so glad I wasn't able to sleep last night! LOL I was keyed up from having gone down to Rome to visit an old school friend I hadn't seen in 50 years and he was visiting Rome with his wife. We went to school together in Rome back in the 70s! So, with one train being an hour late resulting in me missing the bus to my city by ONE minute (truth!) and having to wait 90 minutes for another and consequently missing the final bus that climbs the hill to my apartment.....and it was 95 degrees! ANYway...couldn't sleep, checked the phone, turned on FB and got an immediate notification of the live stream! Groovy :-) SMALL SHIPS rule! I haven't yet been on one with 4K-6K people and think I'd go bonkers. But seriously -- you must must must take a dahabiya "river cruise" down the Nile. The El Nour.....it'll change your life. I'll go on it again when you do! OH and I live in Italy, not the UK ;-) Catch you next time maybe!

Hurtigruten! Rules are changing for the fjords and which ships can go in to places like Gerainger (not sure it's spelled correctly). And yeah Antarctica is nuts price-wise. So we have do the fjords (together with Iceland!!) for the cruise 🙂 *snort* I have tons of cilantro in my freezer (got it in Rome at the asian market)

Hi going on Margaritaville islander July 21, looking forward to it. Let me know when your NY get together is. Anna said to me when we got off Quantum "I miss MSC". Also meravigia had small buffet with the pizza. Till 1am
