Okay, here’s my question. What are the people like whom you’ve met on the cruise? I’m sure there are some great fellow passengers, but are there any that you’re already thinking … I have to see this person regularly for the next 5 and a half months? This is no short cruise. Just wondering about that aspect of being on a boat with the same people for that long.

Oh my. Oh my. All that goodness would be mightily difficult to resist. Is the gym as impressive as the menu? Do they have fitness classes? More than a few days of indulgence like this would have me bursting out of my expandable pants! Looks like great fun, though!!! ❤️

I was watching the beautiful food pictures just before cooking dinner. The appetite was bigger than ever as long as I could skip the first picture of my mind.
What a creative chef! Time to practice your French Doris.

I noticed your boat is docked in Lima today, are they letting you out?

  Technically, it was a technical stop for fuel and supplies with passengers confined to ship. Ultimately, port authorities allowed passengers to wander a few feet onto the dock to briefly shop with the local craftspeople who had set up stalls there.

Amazing! Who knew we would all get to enjoy this so much?

At some point, will you tell us about fashion? As one who always dresses for comfort, never style, and has just gaped at White Lotus, I am so curious about what everyone is sporting.

Hi Sisty,
Not that it would appeal to you, but does the ship have a casino? Gambling was the only thing that kept us sane during long line periods!
