The Fleet Report and Daily for Monday September 18th, 2023
rafinmd replied to richwmn's topic in Holland America Line
A few photos from Bimini. We had threats of thunderstorms while I was on the island so my visit was quite brief but I'll start with the South Island as seen from my tender. The primary transportation on the island is a combination of golf carts and open air trams. There is a resort and casino which was under the same ownership at the time as Crystal and that was our tender stop. The main settlement is Alice Town, a couple miles south of the resort. Here's a look at it from the tender: Prayers for @Lady Hudson and Bill. Roy- 102 replies

Today's sunrise is from my 2014 Crystal Symphony Transatlantic. After some very interesting sea days we arrived in New York on September 18. Roy- 102 replies

I'm so sorry to hear about this. Our widows club is growing far too quickly. Tears will certainly flow and that will be a good thing. Roy- 102 replies

Thank you for the Monday report Rich, Vanessa, Debbie, Ann, and Dixie. A big salute to National Respect Day. Rice Krispies Treats are nice but I can do without. I tend to prefer my hamburgers without the cheese, but cheese can be nice also. Strange quote by Marx. I visited Bimini on the Crystal Symphony once, before the pier was installed. A great day for Ireland. I think I'll pass on the Falalel. My alternative is Coffee and Chocolate, as advertised at Fat Gramma's Cafe in Yukatat, Alaska: Temperature down this morning. It sounds like a low grade fever may be normal while recovering from Covid. Roy- 102 replies

Thank you Rich, Vanessa, Debbie, Ann, and Dixie. Hoping to hear some positive news from @kazu. Discovery of bacteria was a great step forward. Not sure about Red Pandas but I'll celebrate the Constitution and Citizenship. I have not been to Giardini-Naxos. I think I'll pass on the meal. Slept well but still not a lot of energy this morning.

The Fleet Report and Daily for Saturday September 16th, 2023
rafinmd replied to richwmn's topic in Holland America Line
I'm feeling really uneasy now. I'm booked on Queen Mary 2 September 29 to October 5 connecting to Crystal Serenity October 6-13 back to New York. It's a trip I've really been looking forward to since it would be my first time in a Grills Cabin, and I had not expected to sail Crystal again after they stopped operating last year. I really want this trip but am not sure I am up to it yet, and if I am to go I must send a bag off with Luggage Forward on Wednesday. So little time to make a decision. Roy- 85 replies

Happy Saturday. Thank you Rich, Vanessa, Ann, Dixie, and Debbie. I like the days but I don't feel a personal connection to any of them. Happy Independence Day to Mexico, and Happy Rosh Hashana to those who celebrate it. I like the Mead quote. I'll pass on the scallops; not sure how that works with vegan. I've been to Picton 1 to 3 (your choice) times in February 2020, arriving within days (in order) on the Interislander ferry, Coastal Pacific Train, and Crystal Serenity. Roy- 85 replies
