As primarily a “lurker” on CC, I must admit to loving the friendship and keen wit exhibited in these posts. We are all essentially in the same boat (pun intended!), waiting out this pandemic and dreaming of future cruises. But this morning, as I was waiting in a local mall for the stores to open, the memory of cruising came rushing back when the mall used the same “musical tones” to signal that it was opening time that HAL uses prior to making announcements. Oh to hear those distinct tones again at sea...

The friendship offered by this chain through humor and beauty is delightful indeed.

Good morning.  Woke up to a tropical storm warming on my phone.  Looks like we are going to be hit hard by the end of the week.  Sigh, it's November already.

Agree with the quotes, under $50 usually means $49.99.

The Meal suggestion sounds great but we had pork tenderloin on Friday.

Thank you for the Daily, Rich.  I'll pass on black cat day (leave it to others), cheers to the Navy and storytellers.  Love the quote.  I'll pass on the dinner suggestion.  My alternative is Chilled Mango Gazpacho, Chateaubriand, and Carrot Cake, as served on the Amsterdam October 27, 2017.

If I had only known, we had stuffed peppers two days ago.  Instead of hamburger I used pulled pork.  Very tasty!

I'll pray for the child of the fireman.  I was a counselor (before retirement) and found it very difficult on the men especially when it was one of their own.

Hello and best to all from another lurker!

We made 5 Star late last year but have yet to sail as one.  Have cancelled three cruises since making 5 Star!!

Way behind you star wise but have the same sentiment.  My last cruise I became 3 star.  Every cruise I have booked since has been cancelled.

Top of my list are real enrichment and port speakers; next comes a library.

Wishes aside, I think we are unlikely to see a rewind.  With that in mind, are there any innovations you’d like to see?

real port speakers!!!
