Grump - here's an important note. is always referred to as . Never as anything else. Always .
Your pics were great, loved the sunsets. Sarah looks lovely - you are a lucky man. But then, all you guys are lucky. You have US! We need to make sure to get the ship photog to take a group picture of us at sailaway - before we are hung over and haggard from lack of sleep and puffed up on sugary foo foo drinks.
Great pictures, Fred. Thanks for sharing. It looks like you had fantastic weather...lucky you!
Thanks Cindy! Yeah, we were quite lucky with the weather. The crew told us the prior three cruises were horrible with missed ports and outside deck lock-down for days at a time. We just got lucky and picked the right week in September - apparently there's another storm brewing the last few days so we might of had the one week on Mariner without a itinerary change in September.

Oh, I see.
Yeah, the Mariner group took a group photo right off the bat when we got together for sailaway, not that we weren't already haggard from the night before at the Radisson. It's going to be a great cruise!!!!!!
Not expecting you to go back and read 500+ posts, here was the explanation we got from CLF Steward Char way back when (or, I could have directed you to the post like I see Sharon just did)...
Here is your explanation of Frubals
Frubals
Have you ever heard the phrase 'instant karma'? Frubals (sometimes known as 'reputation') are a very close equivalent. Let's say, for example, you see a post that you really like. You can validate that person by clicking on the little scale icon that appears in that post. (It's toward the right-hand side, up top)
A pop-up message will come up, asking what you thought of the post and will have a blank space where you can write your thoughts on that post. The other member will have it noted in their "User CP" that someone thought that that post was worth frubals, and if you enclosed a note, that will appear next to the notation.
Click on User CP -- scroll down a bit and you will see how much reputation (how many frubals) you have and who gave them to you, along with their personal message. It will display the last 20 posters who have sent you frubals.
Scroll a tiny bit more and you will see how many you can give (reputation power). The number of frubals you can send each time is based on how much "reputation" you have acquired.
The message you get in your Private Messages box is the canned one that automatically goes out when someone sends frubals. The "real" message is on the User CP page
The more you get, the more you can give, but you have to have made 50 posts on the boards yourself before your frubals have any value to someone else.
Page 55 shall henceforth be known as "The Cindy Page."
The Millie will be SanJuan/Tortola/St Martin/St Lucia/Barbados/Grenada/At Sea/Curacao/Aruba/At Sea. We may hold it but I can see Solstice becoming the spoiler - we might have to hold out to get back on her.....although.....Dang, I need a raise.
Page 55?
If you're really interested, I would definitely book in onboard. However, changing from Solstice to Millie, you'll probably be disappointed. A brand new ship vs. an older version...very different.
Having said that, our first Celebrity cruise was on the brand new Summit, our favorite Celebrity cruise was on the Mercury. The crew/staff were great, and the itinerary...well, I've already shared that. It was GREAT! If you're loving that itinerary, I don't think you could go wrong.
