Hey - I'll be on the Brilliance, too - a month earlier than you. We can compare notes!

Jason - I just listened to your interview. It's nice to put a voice with the face behind those Foster-Grants! Great job explaining the site and our friendly community. By the way, the suspense is killing me - what are these great new features coming in January? (or were they already announced and I missed it?)

Good point, Debbie. In the case of the French sailor, it seems they knew in advance who they were rescuing. In cases where they don't, I would hope they have some kind of security protocol in place when making rescues at sea.

We've been experiencing MUTS (movies under the stars) for years on Princess. Not very enjoyable when it's cold, but a very awesome way to see movies at sea on a warm tropical night!

Have a great cruise!

I'll be happy to share the details, MaryLou! It's a 7-day cruise RT from Boston to Halifax, Saint John, NB, Bar Harbor and Portland with 2 sea days. I am excited on so many levels. I've always wanted to do a NE/Canada cruise, but living in RI, I didn't want to travel south for a cruise north from NY to Boston - just didn't make much sense. It's my first time on Royal Caribbean, my first time on a cruise without the hubby, I don't need to fly anywhere, and, yes, Debbie, there will be leaf peeping involved! The best part? I was able to take advantage of the senior special being offered on that sailing! I guess that makes me "seasoned"!

Thank YOU for reading!

Loved your photos! You two look so lovely in your formals with the ship all decked out for New Year's. It appears you had beautiful weather, and the towel animals were great. Thanks for sharing!

Freshly baked cake ... pie ... cookies ... chocolate mousse. I'll need to spend double time at the gym!

Must have been a rough ride. Glad to hear no one was seriously hurt and that everyone is safe.

While I am diligent about making copies of passports, recording the numbers and contact info for credit cards, and guarding my personal information, I never thought about the car in the parking garage. Thanks for the heads up!
