Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. You are spot on about the entertainment on HAL ships and because of that and some other issues we have had we have stopped sailing with HAL until we hear things have improved.
  2. We sailed on Statendam class ships 7 times and on the little larger Volendam 3 times, at the time they were classy wonderful ships and we always had great cruises. As things evolved the Eurodam is now our favorite ship as she is a classy ship with a bit more room and amenities and has the classic wrap-around promenade decks which is something we are not seeing anymore on the new ships.
  3. I remember back in the day when you went out for breakfast and the coffee was free and they kept filling the cup up, now it’s 3 dollars and you’re lucky if you see the waitress again, lucky for us we have a great waitress at our favorite breakfast diner and she is always there for you.
  4. Greetings from beautiful Port Charlotte. Mid 70s right now but not getting much warmer with a high of 79, we had some rain during the early morning hours. Good selection of days. Never met a salad I didn’t like. Audrey Hepburn was a great actress and her quote is spot on. We have been to Croatia but to Dubrovnik and not Zadar. I’m ready for the Baseball season to start but I’m also still excited with the hockey season as the Stanley Cup Playoffs begin in mid April. Being from Chicago I still follow the White Sox and Blackhawks but with over 30 years in Florida I’ve become a huge fan of the Rays and Lightning. Have a great day and stay well.
  5. I remember driving over the double span Skyway bridge in 1983 on the remaining span as we drove from Clearwater to Sarasota to see a spring training baseball game and seeing what was left of the other span, very eerie to see part of the span still in tact unlike today’s accident that brought down just about the whole bridge.
  6. I didn’t hear that but that makes sense and relieves my fears of terrorism.
  7. Unbelievable, this just doesn’t happen with clear and calm conditions with the Captain and 2 Pilots on the bridge, I won’t be surprised that terrorism might be in play as individuals could have taken command of the bridge. One of the commentators on Fox news also said that this might very well be a crime scene. A similar incident happened in Tampa Bay in the early 80s but dense fog was the main reason a container ship brought down that bridge with the Pilot also miscalculating the clearance between the support columns, IIRC 35 persons lost their lives that night including some aboard a Greyhound bus.
  8. Greetings from beautiful Port Charlotte. 62 right now with a high of 82 and sunny skies I’m of Greek ancestry so hooray for Greek Independence Day as Greeks suffered for hundreds of years under the Ottoman Empire. I’m not sure I agree with the quote. I am in on today’s meal. Only been to Ireland once and for only a few hours as we had to make a medical stop in Shannon on a flight from Athens to NYC. Off to the golf course soon, we have early tee times on Mondays. Have a great day and stay well.
  9. Greetings from beautiful Port Charlotte. 62 heading up to a pleasant sunny 81 this afternoon. Good selection of days as is the quote. I love shrimp and enjoy tacos but I’ve never had a shrimp taco. I’m not a big basketball fan and don’t watch the NCAA tournament, even though I left Chicago 31 years ago I am happy that Illinois has advanced to the Sweet Sixteen, Northwestern will probably lose to UCONN today, from what I’ve read Illinois has a good shot of making the Final Four. Have a great day and stay well.
  10. Greetings from beautiful Port Charlotte. Terrible news this AM with a steam pipe explosion on the Nieuw Amsterdam killing 2 crew members, prayers for their souls. 67 right now and after a rainy Friday it’s going to be sunny with a high of 77 today. No comment on one of the days but the other 2 are good especially with all our cat lovers here. Thought provoking quote by Eleanor Roosevelt. I’ll try the meal as there aren’t many chicken concoctions that I would turn down. Never been to Madagascar or anywhere else in Africa but I’d love to visit Egypt and the Pyramids along with the Valley of the Kings but it’s not going to happen. Saturday morning means it breakfast at our favorite diner. Have a great day and stay well.
  11. Greetings from beautiful Port Charlotte. 67 this morning, raining right now with showers and thunderstorms expected throughout the day, high of only 72, unfortunately no golf today. Meh on the days but the quote is fine. We’ve been to Falmouth and Jamaica many times but can’t remember the last time we actually stepped ashore. Climbing Dunn’s River Falls back in 1991 is still one the most fun things we ever experienced while in a cruise port, also enjoyed rafting on the Martha Brae river. Pass on the meal. Since we now have 2 official pieces of mail with our new address we can now get our new driver licenses and auto registration, good day to get this out of the way what with the all day rain. Have a great day and stay well.
