  1. Sitmar's Fairsky built in 1984, also loved the old Costa Riviera. Holland America's Westerdam which was originally Home Lines Homeric was also a great ship. Speaking of Home Lines, we always wanted to sail on the Oceanic but things never worked out.
  2. We had an inside cabin on the Rotterdam in April, very small cabin with not enough closet space. Small bathroom but the shower was OK, twice when drying myself off I hit the soap dispenser by the sink with my elbow. My wife kept stubbing her toes on her side of the bed as the bed was only about a foot and a half from the wall.
  3. We have sailed with Celebrity 3 times this summer and they were all great cruises with great food and entertainment. We sailed on the Rotterdam in April and as usual there were very few shows in the main showroom and the food was not close to Celebrity. Entertainment on the Music Walk wasn't too good with terrible vocalists however the group in Lincoln Center was outstanding, we sail on the NA in December and if things continue to slide downhill we will not sail with HAL anymore.
  4. Why is this occurring? Is HAL trying to get away with things or is it sloppy bookkeeping, either way it shouldn't be happening, things like this leave a bad taste in passengers mouths.
  5. Agree, we never thought that soup and salads were appetizers. Normally we start off with a shrimp cocktail which is the appitizer followed by soup then a salad followed by the main course and finish up with dessert. We sail on the Nieuw Amsterdam on December 4th and it will interesting to see if there are any up charges. Celebrity has no policy of charging for shrimp cocktail, in fact on a cruise on the Equinox in June and again in August, if you ordered shrimp cocktail they brought out 2 orders, I really didnt want 2 and our waiter was sort of surprised, on our Infinity cruise on Oct.1st, they only brought 1 order. We already are not happy with lack of production shows on HAL and if they continue to to skimp we will stop sailing with them and cruise mainly with Celebrity and maybe Princess.
  6. Good morning from beautiful Southwest Florida. Happy Holloween but it's been decades since I carved a pumpkin. Ghandi with another great quote. Chicken Provolone sounds good but will pass on the drink. The golf course is calling me. Thanks for The Daily, stay well and have a great day.
  7. 68 cruises and 23 with HAL, never encountered any bed bugs.
  8. Thanks for the info, now I remember Candy Corn and never liked it.
  9. Good morning from beautiful Southwest Florida. Good quote and selection of days. I'm not sure if candy corn is the same thing as carmel corn which I love. I'll pass on the meal because we won't eat Tilapia. Weather is still great down here, mid 80's everyday with low humidity and no rain in the forecast. Astros won last night and the series is tied with the next 3 games in Philly. Thanks for The Daily, stay well and have a great day.
  10. I knew that, I should have posted on the other webcam post for Sunday the 30th but who really cares.
  11. Our next cruise is on the NA on December 4th to the Eastern Caribbean.
  12. Good morning from beautiful Southwest Florida. Good quote from from Plato, a pretty smart Greek who I might be related to LOL. I like Taco's so I'm sure I would like the meal. We have been to Colon and took the train ride along the Canal all the way down to Panama City. We've also have sailed through the Canal a couple of times. Just back from breakfast at Bob Evan's, I needed a biscuit and sausage gravy fix along with some scrambled eggs, DW had her usual Rise and Shine breakfast. Phillies with a nice come from behind victory in game 1 of the World Series. Thanks for The Daily, stay well and have a great day.
  13. Good morning from beautiful Southwest Florida. Everyday is chocolate day for me. Never been to the port. World Series starts tonight, not sure who to pull for, I'm usually for the American League team but not a fan of the Astros who cheated when they won the WS a few years ago. I Like the quote but not the food or drink. Off to the golf course. Thanks for The Daily, stay well and have a great day.
  14. If you sail with MSC in the summer there are going to be a gazillion kids as they sail for free as 3rd and 4th passengers in a cabin. Both lines have beautiful ships but we prefer the smaller HAL ships. MSC has great entertainment, more visual because of the many different languages on board but the Italian show is great as is the Michael Jsckson and Elton John shows. MSC also offers shorter versions of great operas such as Madame Madame Butterfly and La Traviata which were unbelievably good. Food is good on both lines with MSC getting extra points for their Italian dishes and Pizza.
  15. Good morning from beautiful Southwest Florida. Interesting days but not a fan of black cats. Oscar Levant was a very funny person but was conflicted and the quote probably has some truth to it. The meal is something I would probably like. When I was stationed in Nha Trang Vietnam, the Air Force was asking for volunteers to transfer to Da Nang which at the time was known as Dodge City, I took a pass on volunteering. Thanks for The Daily, stay well and have a great day.
  16. We sail mostly with HAL, Celebrity and Princess and IMHO all 3 lines have great ships but bottom line we prefer the smaller Vista and Signature Class ships of HAL and Celebrity's Infinity and Equinox.
  17. Good morning from beautiful Southwest Florida. Since Ian we have had absolutely gorgeous weather, forecast is for more of the same with highs in the mid 80s with low humidity and no rain. Interesting days. Hard to argue with anything Albert Einstein had to say. I like Tacos but I'm not sure about Thai Tacos, though they have nice ring to them. 17 years ago tonight, my White Sox won the World Series, I've been a Sox fan since 1952, that's 70 years with 1 World Series Championship for me, it's tough being a White Sox fan. Off to the course in a few minutes. Thanks for The Daily, stay well and have a great day.
  18. Great photos, we would love to visit the Holy Lands but unfortunately it's a scary part of the world and of course we refuse to fly anymore so that's that.
