@St Pete Cruiser a question about your MSC Cruise. It looks like there is an overnight at the private island. Is there a dock there and any evening/night activities there? Roy

Today's sunrise is from my 2018 Crystal Panama Canal precursor to the World Cruse. January 16 was a sea day on Crystal Serenity between Puerto Caldera and Acapulco. Roy

I do not really appreciate dragons and the closest I have come is Iguanas but those on the Westerdam may have seen Komodo Dragons recently. I see a bit of a conflict between Do Nothing Day and the National Day of Service for Dr. King. Will Rogers was a scamp. I visited Hiroshima just once on the old Crystal Harmony in 2004 but don;t think I have any photos. My alternative menu today is Canaletto Salad, Spaghetti Bolognese, and Pistachio Gelato as served on MS Prinsendam January 16, 2019. I don't think I've ever had Chicken Marsala on a BHB, and I get it rarely. I think the last time I had it was in 2019 returning from a round trip Nieuw Statendam and Cunard transatlantic and it was served on Acela Express on my final trip leg home returning from New York: The care list is far too long: Today’s care list: Grahaam’s Sarah in pain and waiting on needed injection RIP St Paul’s Ryhope shop manager Tana with pneumonia and another bad night Vict0riann not feeling well Rowsby in need of shoulder replacement Marshhawk DH eye issues.

Not sure why cruisetimetables has NA leaving 2300. Here's the official itinerary: Roy

And Harmony is on the move too, leaving the entire port to Nieuw Amsterdam. Roy

Nieuw Amsterdam "Confirmed" for 1900 but that seems a bit odds with what the charter group is apparently saying. In any case I have a church get-together then. Roy

Toots a bit late but long and strong. Roy

Did I just hear a toot? Roy

I don't think the camera followed her at all so it was a very quick departure. Roy

Nieuw Statendam leaving Nassau. Roy

Reflection is at 29 behind Eurodam. Roy

Lots of growley toots from Beyond. Roy

NCL Dawn leaving Nassau, unblocking view of Nieuw Statendam/. Roy

Just a couple of toots ffrom Regal. Not a good start. Roy

Sometimes I get them, rarely in bed but frequently in the dining room or at the show. Roy

Today's sunrise is from my 2019 Prinsendam Grand South America and Antarctica voyage. On January 15 we arrived in Lima/Callao: Roy

I know bottled water is prohibited but I thought it could be brought on in cans or cardboard packages. That should be ok for daily medicines, although I find the tap water on board just fine. Roy

Thank you. It seems like there was also a change for Nieuw Statendam which is in Nassau rather than Key West until 4PM. https://www.portnassauwebcam.com/ Unfortunately, she is partly blocked by NCL Dawn but the forward half is visible. @ottahand7 I did that same tour from MS Prinsendam in 2019 and loved it. @aliaschief what I see of Azamara looks very nice and reminds me much of Crystal. Unfortunately, the lack of a decent place to walk takes her out of contention for me. Roy

I sometimes wear a ball cap or tuque but never a real hat. I'll pass on the bagel. While tomorrow is the official holiday today is the heavenly birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr, and yesterday was the heavenly birthday of Organ Virtuoso, Missionary and Doctor Albert Schweitzer. I'm not sure if I agree with the Cahan quote but like it. I have not been to Tokushima. I just noticed that the wine is a bit hard to understand. I'll pass on the meal and take my steak as steak rather than soup. My alternative is Fresh Fruit with Peach Schnapps, Grilled Five Spice Lamb Chops. and Cherry Crisp as served on MS Prinsendam January 15, 2019: Today’s care list: Grahaam’s Sarah in pain and waiting on needed injection Marshhawk DH eye issues.

You didn't leave a lot of time between those 2 cruises, did you. I think I've done my last Enchantment cruise since my passport is now out for renewal. In late April I go to Fort Lauderdale for 3 days on Liberty (their last class I haven't sailed) and then transfer to Vision to bring her up to Baltimore. Roy

Yes! Yes! Yes! Roy
