BermudaBound2014

I try very hard to let nothing dull my sparkle 🙂 It’s 6:15 and our girl hasn’t moved. I’m just going to sit here in the club room where I have an excellent view facing the port (my room faces the Coronado). Of course, it doesn’t hurt that there is wine and they are bringing out dessert in a few…..I am a ridiculous.

Debarkation was a cluster. It started with immigration coming on ship about 20 minutes late which put everything behind schedule. Of course passengers were behaving poorly too (showing up early, cutting in line, etc) but HAL could have done a much better job with crowd control and communication. For one thing, i was never once asked for my disembarkation color. The lines for immigration started at the forward elevators, snaked back to the atrium, did a 90 degree turn and wound up in the theatre. The line moved fast but there were sooooo many people. There were also people cutting in line. Some on purpose, some because there was no where to tell where the line began. People would unload from the elevator and jump in line, even thought that was cutting. There wasn’t any clear signage and the white coat officers that were there stood in groups of 2/3 instead of spreading out and helping to direct people. At one point the tensions were high. I’ll post a photo of the immigration line. The coughing got me more than the line itself. I have no doubt that covid is in onboard. At 9:00 (when i was supposed to head to the line), Grant Announced to anyone without a plane to catch to please not come down to immigration until after 9:30. At that time, they had only called 4 colors to debark. By the end of it I would estimate they were a full hour off schedule. Once I saw the line, I decided to just chill in billboards. I squirreled away a couple shots of bailies last night to enjoy with my coffee and since I didn’t have a plane to catch, there was no way I was joining the chaos. Once the crowd thinned I got in line and it did move fast (but was still snaked down thru the atrium). The announcements were very hard to hear. Not totally HALs fault as people simply don’t stop yacking, so if you are in a crowded public area the chance of actually understanding Grant were slim to none. This could be mediated by instructing lido workers not to talk thru announcements too (it’s as if they don’t even hear them). Even the white coats didn’t hush for Grants announcement so that really doesn’t set an example. I had no idea what color luggage tag they were on when i got thru immigration so I just went back to my cabin, grabbed the carryon, and proceeded off the ship. It was 10:15 and I was supposed to disembark by 9:30. Figured I was safe. I was wrong. Unfortunately when i got to the luggage area I found out they hadn’t even unloaded blue luggage from the ship. There were at least 100 people mulling around a closed cargo door. More kept piling in. The long shore worker explained that our luggage was past the door, but they couldn’t open it because there was heavy machinery still in operation staging the luggage. He kept insisting we all write HAL to express our frustration because it wasn’t the long shore workers fault. Since I still wasn’t frustrated, I’m not writing anyone. The blue group waited about 30’minutes before the cargo door was opened for us to enter the area and grab luggage. Interestingly, this area was open air. The rain held off until this afternoon but that would have been a nightmare had the luggage been sitting outside. Moral of the story, if there are two ships in port and it’s supposed to rain, you might not want to pick one of the later colors as there just isn’t enough sheltered space for all the luggage and the late colors sit outside. IMO HaL really should update the announcements much more frequently (constantly) so people are certain what number/color they are on. I also feel that more white coats directing the line would have prevented some of the obvious anxiety passengers were experiencing. Me? Well I was two shots into Bailies and the Hyatt texted me at 9:30 saying my room was ready so I was under absolutely no stress…..at all. Zero. Zilch. No way was I going to have my last memories of the ship be negative. I suspect I may have had a different perspective if I was catching a plane. Keep in mind, all this chaos is because there was also a Disney ship in port and the two ships share resources. Next week there will be THREE ships in and my porter said that while it doesn’t happen often, it is an absolute nuthouse when that happens. My porter who was wonderful. I had two large suitcases and a roll aboard (I’ll pack different next year). I used a service recommended here called luggage forward. It’s not cheap, but I hate traveling heavy so I sent one large suitcase home so I am only taking one case with me to Maui. I am very pleased with luggage forward. They met me right outside the gate. Texted me all morning. The porter couldn’t exit the area but she waited for me inside the gate while I dropped off one luggage with luggage forward, then she wheeled me to the taxi line, where I spent $25 to travel a couple blocks to the hotel. Be aware that taxis don’t want to pick up short rides. They must wait in a very long line to even get into the port pick up area so they want a bigger fare. I settled on $25 with the taxi driver before I even got in, which made it worth his time. Otherwise, I may still be standing there. Hyatt had already texted me that my room was ready (I love Hyatt status) so when it was all said and done I was in my room by 11:00. I consider that a very successful debarkation day. I’m on the 32 floor with a lovely view of the bay. I am club Hyatt which means they feed me breakfast, snacks, and dinner with 24 hour soda/coffee/etc.. drinks are on the honor system. It’s a bit like being on the ship :). Tonight’s complimentary dinner was salmon with a cuscus side. An extensive salad bar with very high quality shaved Parnassian cheese and some cucumber slices with ahi poke’. My favorite was the blue cheese mousse with fig and Bouchée. It’s a high class joint. So much for me being done eating, cause this stuff is tasty! I just watched the Disney ship pull away from the pier (5:20). Going to wait for the Koningsdam. It was a rainy cold day today but the sun is shining now and this weeks crew should get a nice sail away. It’s 5:45 so they are running late (I believe they were supposed to set sail at 5:00) I’ll upload some pics of today and come back when she does sail away. Line just outside forward elevators. This is not the start of the line it was snaking thru billboards at this time. My room with a view My poor attempt at showing how the line snaked thru deck 2. salmon for dinner These were excellent. Disney ship left at 5:20. It’s currently 5:54 and Koningsdam hasn’t budged.

Afternoon!! I have lots more to summarize and I promise to get to all questions; but today has been a whirlwind between packing and all the goodbyes. Yep, already shedding little tears. Sure there are areas for improvement, but this has been a remarkable cruise with amazing people. I am overflowing with gratitude. I’ll be at the Hyatt in San Diego for a few days as I have a friend from Grad School driving down from northern CA to spend a long girls weekend. From there I’m flying to Maui where I’ll have lots of downtime to wrap up this report. I also have GoPro footage to upload once I get to stable internet. So much left to discuss :).

Good afternoon from the magnificent Koningsdam where we are meandering along at 13 knots heading toward San Diego under bright blue skies and glass like sea conditions. Folks, it’s glorious!! I’m in shorts and a T-shirt and it is nice and toasty in the sun, but the minute I sit in the shade I’m chilled. Temp in the app says 66 at 2:00 pm so we definitely aren’t anywhere near the equator any longer. Sadly, I have given up my playpen for the remainder of the cruise because with several towel blankets it’s still quite chilly. Even my exposed nose got cold yesterday while peaking out. A big difference from last week where the only way to chill a nose was to stick it on ice. Not sure how to advise others to pack other than to say both the Heat Miser and the Snow Miser have made an appearance (BTW, that’s still one of my favorite Christmas tunes if that tells you anything about my state of maturity). Since there was no dance class today I decided to channel my inner Forest Gump and walk 5 miles up on deck 11 where it’s full sun with a gentle breeze. There literally isn’t a cloud in the sky today. Have I mentioned it is simply glorious? Well, It’s simply glorious. Yesterday, I discovered lime salad dressing at the deli and ate not one but three caprice salads (ok, one for lunch and two for dinner- they are small, stop judging). Took 33 days for me to find it, but this stuff is legit. Nice and light, super refreshing type of dressing. Can’t be a lot of calories either which is a bonus. Don’t make the same mistake I did and be sure to try this out earlier in the cruise. I’d do shots of it if they’d let me. Last night was more of the same. BBKings had the night off so we were all in Rolling Stones. The last set wrapped up at 11:15. Most folks were already in bed. Nightlife just isn’t HALs strong suit which is part of the reason they just can’t shake the dreadful (yet well known and decades old) stereotype as the cruise line for the “newly wed or nearly dead”. It’s a shame really because there are many very active people onboard who are ready to help HAL put that negative image in the rear view mirror! HAL is trying too with the music hall, and they are getting really close. A few more tweaks and HAL can appeal quite strongly to the retired Gen Xers. IMO there is no better cruise line for offering unique itineraries at affordable prices and even though the entertainment schedule is lacking (my personal desires), I am excited to announce that a large group of us have had so much fun together that we have booked this itinerary in 2026! For me, the timing of this trip is perfect. I can travel with hubby all of January (his slow month at work), jump on this girl for a spin around French Polynesian by myself, then meet hubby in Maui for 7 more weeks of sunshine and exceptional golfing. Life.Is.Grand. There are at least a dozen of us booked for 2025 and an other dozen booked for 2026 if that tells you anything about how much we have all enjoyed this cruise. When I say I have met life long friends onboard, it’s no joke. Many of us have become a cruise family over the last 33 days. Not only are we planning to cruise together again, but some of us have made plans to visit each others homes this summer and one couple may come meet hubby and i in Maui next month. Not sure if all long cruises are like this or not, but I will be forever grateful to both CC and social media for connecting me with “my people”. They have elevated this cruise beyond measure. When things are all said and done, it’s the connections i have made that I will cherish mostly. I will be crying disembarkation day. Tonight is dressy and the third time they will be serving unlimited lobster at the lido. I can’t imagine anyone having a single complaint about the food or service onboard. It’s simply the best…. Last nights sunset

@ljgordon54 shoot- didn’t mean to come across as negative Nelly! I need to be more careful w my words. I don’t want to seem ungrateful for every moment of this amazing adventure. I try to point out areas w/room for improvement in all of my live reviews. I have never thought that glowing reports help anyone. They set unrealistic expectations for passengers and don’t give the cruise line a chance to improve. As with every other cruise sailing, there are areas that could be improved on the Koningsdam. Mostly entertainment options and in particular higher energy activities; but these are just little niggles in the grand scheme. And, of course, ymmv. The food quality and service levels have been fabulous. I have not one suggestion to improve either of those categories (and those are two BIG categories). Of course, the islands are off the charts. I do believe we will have an incredible cruise next year :).

Slot pull results from Rhonda- 36 people attended $540 collected Ended with $838 dollars!! Everyone got back $20 and the top 3 pullers got back $60!! Had a great time, thanks to everyone who participated!! Rhonda

Not much to report other than there was dishwasher on fire in the middle of the night!! Apparently an Announcement was piped into the cabin just after midnight. It was quickly extinguished and the whole thing was over in about 5 minutes but so much for my quick reflexes and keen senses and as I didn’t hear a thing and slept right through all 3 announcements 🤷‍♀️ Last night they had another “fun night” at the lido. Very low budget carnival type games (ladderball, corn hole, ring toss, etc…). You played against a fellow passenger and whomever won got a ticket and chance to win HaL swag. Music was playing on speakers. Even though it was low budget, we had some laughs and I’m glad they did it. Now, if they could just play the music and instead of bringing out the games leaving the deck open for an open air dance floor at night that would be perfect (and wouldn’t cost a dime). Lord knows they don’t show movies outside every night and we’ve spent 35 days looking at a drop of water on “unused” big screen. Permission to dance class is filled everyday at 10 am. MaNY of us would come to another dance later in day. My one complaint on this ship is lack of fun/active things to do. How many times can a girl listen to a talk on Einsteins theory of relativity? For me, the answer is zero; but my understanding is that those talks were standing room only. Again, should be repeated on the TV. But given the numbers at dance and tai chi- I suspect things for those of us who want to be active would also be well attended. If HAL ever wants to rid themselves of their “cruises for nearly dead” reputation, they really do need to up their game. Oh- We know that the technology is possible to stream on the tv because today they are repeating the crew show all day (it broadcast with no sound yesterday). The sea is still glass but It is significantly cooler outside. Not at all cold, but we are obviously no longer in the tropics. We are still a full 3 days before San Diego and I expect it will continue to cool off. Current weather for Saturdays arrival 63 and rain (boo hiss). This trip has been one of extreme temp changes. It was cold first few days out of San Diego (high 50s and a very brisk wind). I needed a zip up hoodie and long sleeves to comfortably be outside. The FP islands were hot hot hot! I will not be booking any land tours next year as French Polynesian has a heat index set at “take off all your clothes.” As always, Hawaii was just right (said in my best three little bears impression). I’m officially sick of eating. Yesterday I ate a croissant for breakfast, grilled cheese w tomato from the deli for lunch, and three spicy chicken wings from the deli for dinner. TMI but my point is I ate in entirety from the deli menu (outside where I have less chance to come in contact with covid). I had reservations for Tamarand but cancelled them. The last thing I need to do is spend $42 for food that I just don’t want. Like any super responsible financial planner, I’m going to dump that cash into a slot machine instead and see how long it lasts. Side note, the spicy wings from the deli served after 9 pm are super good! I still have the gut of a teenager (to go along with a palette of a toddler). I can eat anything at anytime as evidenced by my ability to suck down 3 xtra spicy wings at 10pm sleep through a fire alarm at midnight. They have had three ice cream socials. It takes place at the gelato station but do not be fooled, it’s regular ice cream. However there is a plethora of toppings and dipped cones to choose from. The line wraps around the deck so get there early (or just walk inside and get a bowl from the lido with no line) :). I did speak with the next cruise guy and we talked about all the things they have done for us due to this being a legendary voyage. Apparently the food budget was increased for us. Things like the ice cream social, lobster at the lido, etc… are supposedly all due to legendary voyage status. I do think that the quality of food has been exceptional. The best I’ve experienced post covid and some of the best compared to precovid cruises too. Next year I am doing a 22 night (non legendary) Antarctica cruise in January, immediately followed by this 35 night legendary voyage so I will be able to make a direct comparison of things you can expect on legendary vs non legendary itinerary. For now, until you read of lobster tails being unloaded to the masses at the lido on the 7 day bus runs, it’s probably safe to assume this is a practice reserved for the “special” voyages. It is nice to be special. I just completed the very last dance class of the cruise. It was BY FAR my favorite activity onboard. Grant can’t do classes the next two days because it conflicts with a “life at sea presentation“ he is part of. WTH?? I’m just going to say it- whomever is making the activity schedule needs a new job. The dance class is VERY popular. It’s the only ship activity I look forward to and I suspect I’m not alone. Certainly the life at sea talk could be scheduled for anytime after 10:30 (when class finishes). There are wide blocks of time with nothing scheduled and then a bunch of “activities” all at 10 or 1 or 4 (and I use the term activities lightly). Having the orange party on a day when we all needed to get up for an excursion (and during the hottest part of the cruise), having a formal night before a port day when there are well over a dozen sea days to choose from, and canceling dance class with two full days left leads me to believe that whomever is making the schedule isn’t paying attention to guest feedback. Not the end of the world but absolutely room for improvement if Hal ever wants to shed the stereotype that their cruise are for the “nearly dead”. With that, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t shed a little tear at the end of class today. Grant has single handedly saved me when it comes to onboard activities and I will miss him terribly. I won’t ever be able to do the electric slide without fondly remembering is open heart and good sense of humor. A true asset to HAL. He will make a fabulous cruise director one day!!

Thank you. Very sweet of you to say. I do my very best to operate from a place of kindness (not to be mistaken for weakness, because after all, this girl was born in Detroit 💪). IMO- Empathy is the key to connection and connection is they key to living one’s best life and i am hell bent to live my very best life!! When it’s all said and done we are all in this together-

Rhonda asked me to send out one more reminder. Slot Pull 10:30 am Tomorrow Wednesday 20th please bring $15 in exact change.

You two are preaching to the choir. The lack of information repeated on the tv is one of my biggest niggle of this cruise. It is possible that step one production is copyrighted, but there is absolutely no way that the cruise directors port talks can’t be repeated on the tv. She doesn’t even have a slide show (just a single map). Every other cruise line manages to repeat things on TV so we can watch at our leisure. Whatever the obstacle, I have faith that HAL could figure it out if they really wanted.

Came back to the cabin to find more flowers! Overwhelmingly, the people on this cruise are simply the best!!! Back at the pier in Moorea, I noticed an elderly lady who was clearly very confused. She was really struggling to find the right HAL tour bus (it was confusing). Poor thing almost had tears in her eyes so I did what any decent human would do and found her bus and then escorted her to it. Took all of 5 minutes. She found me in the hall a few days ago and thanked me again (wasn’t necessary). Then she asked my room number and I gave it to her not thinking too much about it.

Either are great options! After 35 days there are lots of people following me to the “dark side” of the lido. The food is getting a bit much for me. One must get creative if you want variety. I suppose that’s to be expected on a 35 night cruise. For dinner last night I had a bowl of yummy cut up fruit. I just can’t eat like I used to without gaining weight. I’m happy to report that after 31 days all my clothes still fit so that’s a huge win considering I live in my bathing suit while on Maui.

HA!! You seem like a super fun guy that can take a joke, so please take this in the joking spirit it was intended and STHU; I still have 4 days on this gal 🤣😃🤣😃🤣

It’s line dancing class with Grant. Closest thing they have to aerobic exercise without an additional cost. Great fun! Highly recommend it.

Awe shucks, thank you! I hope to sail with you someday too :). You are correct about the activities schedule. Doodling is better than the Dam Dots they have twice a day. It’s literally connect the numbered dots on a sheet of paper 🤣. I think many people go for socializing but these activities are definitely low budget. I mean seriously, how many Dam feet are on this cruise to warrant foot analysis multiple times a day? 🤣😃

I have not met Lee. I tend to sit in the same spots so I’ve really only gotten close with 4 servers. My guy here at ‘the playpen’ keeps my Arnold palmers coming all day with lots of ice. And Faye gives me my coffee every morning with her delightful smile. The service onboard is truly exceptional.

For those wondering, this is my playpen and where I spend most of my day. If you are onboard and haven’t stopped by yet, deck 10 port. We are a lot of fun when we aren’t napping 🙂

Feedback from the St Pattys bar crawl was that it was great fun. This came from “my girls” who make their own fun anywhere, but the videos looked happening. As far as the benefit, I think @Haljo1935 said it best, just compadre and something different to do. I closed BBkings again last night. Don’t be impressed. It isn't a monumental accomplishment given the band ended at 10:45. But still, a close is a close. The St Pattys day party was fun, but would have been much better attended had it been outside in the lido (just my opinion). You cannot have the same vibe when you spread people across multiple venues. But the temp was more comfortable and I’m sure many of those on board appreciated that. Today tai chi was cancelled because the instructor is sick. For those wondering, yes, covid is onboard. Could be 5 cases, could be more, i have no way of telling other than speaking with people who have come out of isolation. I do hope everyone sailing knows the risk of sickness spreading in crowds. Covid is likely onboard every cruise ship sailing today. If you are concerned about covid, or have significant comorbidities, you maybe better served to select a vacation that is less densely populated as fellow passengers continue to misbehave. Covid is here to stay, and the more people, the more spread. Just a fact of life. I spend most of my time outdoors (including eating outdoors). I avoid elevators, MDR, crowded shows, and lines since Interior venues are where the majority of air borne viruses spread. I do have greater exposure at BBkings but a girls gotta dance. For giggles I’m including snippets of todays planner. Keep in mind most of the activities are repeated frequently. How often can someone get a foot analysis or buy an inch of gold? I’ve highlighted my activities and it’s pretty much been exactly the same every sea day. I suggest finding your people early. I hang in the same playpen daily and get visitors often. That leads to lots of chit chat and endless laughs. Without my people, I’d be on my 72nd book by now. As it stands I’ve read one.

Forgot to mention. There is a bar crawl for st patty’s day. $25. You get 4 drinks and games. I was going to sign up but the bartenders are stressed because there are already 100 people signed up and HaL is putting no limit on the affair. I have friends participating so I’ll report second hand.

Carol who? Haha -just kidding (kinda). 😉 About the entertainment - for clarity, I have been bored a grand total of zero times. I’m not sure if you can pick up on this in type, but I can pretty much make my own party in a paper bag ;). My point regarding entertainment is that for those who list ship entertainment at a priority (especially the evening shows), HAL probably isn’t the best choice as, imo, every other main stream line appears to have a much higher budget in this area. Remember, I have zero brand loyalty to HaL and sail all the other main stream lines quite frequently (which appears to be equated to mass murder according to some 5* onboard). Yesterday was pretty chill. I did tai chi from my play pen. Attended dance class, swam, read, swam, had pre-dinner conversation with some of my people, ate dinner with another group of my people, and closed BBkings with….. my people. I have met sooooooo many life long friends onboard. It’s really taken this cruise over the top for me. Sure there are some cranky McCrankersteins, but I’ve found my cruise family and we all come from a place of gratitude which can, imo, really turn the frown upside down (sorry for the dad humor). I suspect today will be more of the same with the exception of St Patty’s day party (which will be held indoors much to my dismay). Apparently it was too much work and too hot to do another lido party. Granted, every other tropical cruise I have been on does 2-3 lido deck parties on a 7 day cruise, but what do I know 🤷‍♀️ In fairness to Hal, there were a lot of complaints that the last lido party was too loud (is there such a thing?) and too hot (ok, was hot, but we are sailing on-top of the equator fhs). I think it boils down to demographics again and I’m ok with that. I’m not giving up hope for another lido deck party as we move thru colder water near San Diego, but then again, I’m a dreamer. Apparently we moved the clocks forward a half hour again two nights ago. For the last two days I’ve been wondering why I’m always late. Clearly I can’t keep it straight. Seriously, who move clocks by 30 minutes? It’s like I’m in math class every time i glance at my Fitbit. Ok- here is a real legit gripe- Last night a debarkation letter was left on my bed!!! We have 7 days left. S.E.V.E.N!! WTH??? That’s the equivalent of putting luggage tags out on embarkation day on 90% of the cruises sailing this week. I immediately threw it in the recycling. Ain’t nobody got time for that nonsense. In other news, we are back in the northern hemisphere :). For my new online friends…

Lobster tail has been on twice. First and fourth formal night. escargot was on fourth formal night. Prime rib has been on every/other or every third day. It’s almost a staple. The Asian station grills fresh for you exactly the vegetables and protein you want. I eat that pretty frequently. Whatever the special fish has been in the MDR they have been grilling fresh in the lido also. You can get it plated fancy, exactly like the MDR (they will make the plate in front of you), or you can just get the fish (which is what I do). Of course, there is Also the pasta station where they will make your sauce exactly how you want it with 3-4 different types of noodles to pick from. I am hearing very mixed reviews of the mdr. Many people are saying it takes way too long. Others have complained about Luke warm entrees, while others people are having a great experience. Everyone has to do what is right for them and food is subjective but I have zero complaints about the food.

Reminder from Rhonda. Slot Pull, Wednesday March 20 10:30 at the casino $15 (please bring correct change). Rhonda doesn’t have internet. You can call if you need her- room 11058.

Whoopsie- i forgot to include above. Here’s the Fakarava tour info. This sign is located just off the tender.

Some rambling thoughts. Obviously just my opinion. Ymmv The biggest complaint I am hearing is entertainment options. IMO the entertainment options are simply the worst I have ever experienced. With that, I am not HALs target audience. The newest comedian had the entire audience in stitches. I chuckled a few times. He did some impressions of Tim Conway that were cute but I’ve heard the skit before on other lines and didn’t think Tim Conway was that all funny when I watched him on Mary Tyler Moore reruns as a child. I believe that some of my entertainment disappointment is due to my age. I like a higher energy fun vibe. That’s not what HAL passengers want. I would guess there are less than 5% of passengers under 60. As such, The entertainment is skewed for a much older crowd because this ship has a much older demographic. That makes sense. I knew that going in. But some of the entertainment isn’t appealing to even the older crowd as it’s, well, just very poorly executed. I didn’t come on this ship to be entertained (and you shouldn’t either). I came for the islands and they delivered a grand slam home run. For me, BBKings band, Grant (activities director) and yello (spelling that wrong) are terrific and are carrying the lions share of entertainment offered. High energy. Warm. Welcoming. The rest of the entertainment consists of things like movies in the theater (daily at 2:00), foot analysis, 5 minute facials, guess the diamond, etc… Lots of lectures which I may enjoy, but when the weather is nice I’m a 💯 outside girl. Hubby would love the lectures as there is one in the theory or relativity today. That requires far more brain cells than I contain. Last night i did attend the star gazing at 9 which was quite interesting. It seems the art lady is well liked. I did go to the “dam dots” session. I thought we were going to make a picture using dots of color like Picasso. Instead it was connect the dots (numbers). There is adult coloring (which could be very relaxing but I don’t consider that actual entertainment and certainly not something I’d leave my playpen for). I think the painting classes looked fun, but so far the times haven’t worked out for me. This is nothing against the lady running arts and crafts as I have a couple friends who enjoy it very much, but imo there is clearly a budget cut on the part of HAL when it comes to entertainment offerings. I’ve been a bit negligent in posting dinner menus for those that asked. I still haven’t made it to the MDR. I am VERY happy with hot fresh grilled items on the buffet. While I think the entertainment is lacking, I have absolutely zero complaints about the food and think the service is outstanding! This cruise is a solid 9/10 for me (as I believe no cruise can ever be a perfect 10). Anyway, Here is tonights menu:
