Oh yeah, more reasons to not take cruises...although, those weren't acceptable excuses for my 25th (or 30th or 35th) Anniversary. I suppose I could use that excuse now though?

By the way, tying this to another thread, wasn't my other post worth a rep bump?



Peace of the Lord be with you.

We were on the Norwegian Getaway a few weeks ago and they still have a cigar lounge. Unfortunately, most of the people in there were smoking cigarettes, but better than nothing.

Back from French Polynesia on the Oceania Regatta. It has some incredible food. Hell, you could get steaks cooked to order and lobster tails in the friggin' buffet. The Italian restaurant had a separate menu for olive oils and balsamic vinegars. It's definitely a food-lover's cruise line.

It has a smoking lounge, but it's dominated by cigarette smokers. There were no cigars available for purchase on the ship.

That's my normal plan; bring a travel humi and 10 or so sticks. Plus there's an open-air section on the pool deck where you can smoke. It works better than the lounge while in port, not so much while under way because of the wind.

Going on a cruise Monday...on TFB (instead of USS - this is TFB, Todd's Fishing Boat) Kallz.
[the name of the boat is so that my secretary can answer the phone on my day off and say with all seriousness, "Pastor is out on Kallz presently."
Will be cruising close shore of Lake Michigan.
Hopefully eating well afterward, depending on the bite!

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Quite a few, but I'm having issues with Flickr and their new TOS. I need to find a new free photo site.

I use imgur.com, and like Dave said, size your picture to the forum. It's simple with imgur.
