Warren and Larry, love hearing from both of you! Chip, I hope your malady takes leave of you soon! Larry's now a veteran world cruiser, and knows you just need to learn to go with the flow (or learn to shut up complaining about all those little things that just "happen" on a longer cruise! Nice to hear that voice that reminds people...........Chip you have been a trooper!

Only thing I don't get is "outsourcing" laundry! Not like they didn't know how many pax were aboard, and of course, what laundry they can expect per person per day on the average WC after all these years. Just not going to give them a "pass" on this one. I'm on the Mariner now, and all is just fine with the laundry! I left my second bag out after 7 p.m. and it arrived in my cabin all done and pressed the next day by 3p.m.

Please keep giving us more updates! Ah, cool in Shanghai? I think here in the Amazon it was in the 90's today.
