No toots. Think the Bridge crew may have had other things on their minds. Roy -

I'm surprised you said that. I sailed the Eurodam from 19 in November and thought it was fine. And Bon Voyage! Roy -

Thank you Rich, Sandi, Vanessa, Debbie, Dixie, and Ann. A cold morning but with rising temperatures through the week. My parents both grew up on farms and most of my vacations in my youth were around farm animals. I've tried golf but stand too close to the ball, particularly AFTER hitting it. My only sibling was a dedicated golfer but sadly passed over 2 years ago. I don't think I have been to Marseille. The quote is thought provoking. I know Big Ben is quite majestic. I'll pass on the crabs. My alternative is Chilled Sour Cherry Soup, Fruit Cup Au Natural and Oven Roasted Beef Tenderloin as served on MS Amsterdam April 10, 2014. Roy- 79 replies

The blocker arriving: Surprised that a Royal ship is at Celebrity's terminal. Vision should be a bit quicker to get out of the way than the usual blockers. Sadly, I was supposed to be on board in 2 weeks for her reposition to Baltimore but had to cancel due to health issues. Roy -
And I've often thought about that ship and been very thankful that almost all modern ships have covered lifeboats. I know I've read "Burning Cold" but can;t remember if the lifeboats were used and for how long. Roy
-
I'm pretty sure it does come down to the ship. For at least most of the Alaska season these 2 ships do the same itinerary on alternate weeks. Noordam sails from Whittier to Vancouver on a Sunday while Nieuw Amsterdam sails Vancouver to Whittier, and the following Sunday Noordam sails from Vancouver while Nieuw Amsterdam sails from Whittier.

I just watched her leaving New York. I was amazed at how much clearance she had going under the Verrazzano Bridgge. No wonder she could go through the Kiel Canal while most ships cannot. Roy

We've had 2 successive ports of the day. Yesterday was Puerto Plata/Amber Cove and today Grandeur of the Seas is there and you can see how they are related on cruisemapper. The port pin is actually at Amber Cove while the Grandeur is in Puerto Plata,=: In 2017 I visited Puerto Caldera on the Zaandam while the Eurodam was in Puntarenas and I could see the Eurodam from the Zaandam. Again, 2 fairly distant but close ports: Roy- 125 replies

Happy Easter to those who celebrate it. Thank you Rich, Sandi, Vanessa, Ann, Debbie, Dixie, and Graham. I'll salute all of today's days and so true on the Williams quote. I've been to Puerto Caldera but not to Puntarenas. I'll definitely pass on the shrimp. My alternative is Melange of Tropical Fruit, Chilled Sour Cherry Soup, Spaghetti Amartriciana, and Almond Fruit Cake as served on MS Zaandam April 9, 2017: Roy- 125 replies
