I'll pass on the Wild Men, like tea but mostly drink coffee, and depend heavily on pharmacists, both for medicines and innoculations. I love the Mae West quote but have never had Hamburger Helper. I have been to Bali just once, embarking on a 2014 string of cruises, Crystal Symphony to Singapore, Crystal Serenity on to Cape Town, and finally Amsterdam back to Fort Lauderdale. I arrived late the night before embarkation and really have no photos. My alternative menu suggestion is Watermelon Cocktail, Chef Rudi's Classic Southern Fried Chicken, and Cherry Crisp as served on MS Prinsendam January 12, 2019 (looks like I was a little too eager when the entree arrived) : Today’s care list: Grahaam’s Sarah in pain and waiting on needed injection Crusin Terri with pain flarup Marshhawk DH eye issues. HAL Sailer DBIL in final days and family squabbles Scrapnana starting over on treatment From the rotation: Cruising-along niece awaiting a kidney Status of St. Louis Sal (7/1) and JAM37 (7/7) Ominous scan for Marshhawk Kazu with elbow fracture Celebrations and Shoutouts: Belated Happy Birthday to Ren Demar Hamlin HOME cruszn single in Hawaii until 1/31 Cruisin Terri home ready for furniture GTVCRUISER(1/14), DeeniEncinetas, Victoriann(1/14), crystalspin (1/14) , sailingdutchty (Koningsdam to 1/31), Damcruiser (Nieuw Statendam to 1/14), Aliaschief (Onward to 1/17) Seasick Sailor and ger_77 (Rotterdam to 1/25), lindaler and ottahand7(Volendam to 3/18), and Cat in My Lap, Gail&Marty,richwmn and HorizonChaser1957 (Zuiderdam to 5/12) at sea Roy

Today is Feast of Fabulous Wild Men Day, National Hot Tea Day, and National Pharmacist Day You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.--Mae West Meal Suggestion for today - Homemade Hamburger Helper Drink of the Day - Holiday Wreath Wine of the Day - Arboleda Carmenere, Valle de Aconcagua, Chile Destination of the Day - Benoa, Bali Indonesia Eurodam Puerto Limon, Costa Rica 06:30 - 16:00 Koningsdam At Sea Destination San Diego, California eta 1-14 Nieuw Amsterdam Grand Cayman Island, George Town Harbour 07:00 - 16:00 Nieuw Statendam At Sea Destination Half Moon Cay, Bahamas eta 1-13 Oosterdam At Sea Destination Puerto Montt, Chile eta 1-13 Rotterdam At Sea Destination Half Moon Cay, Bahamas eta 1-13 Volendam At Sea Destination Callao-Lima, Peru eta 1-13 Zaandam At Sea Destination Puntarenas, Puerto Caldera, Costa Rica eta 1-13 Zuiderdam At Sea Destination Nuku Hiva Island, Taiohae, Marquesas French Poly eta 1-18 Eastern Hemisphere Noordam At Sea Destination Sydney, NSW Australia eta 1-14 Westerdam At Sea Destination Pulau Komodo Island, East Nusa Tenggara Indonesi eta 1-14 This is the first time since Rich embarked that the ships are spaced well enough that I could meaningfully label all of them on the world map, although I did a detail map to have more detail on their surroundings. Roy for Rich

Per FlightAware her flight JetBlue 1146 is in the air with an ETA of 11:01, 8 minutes early. Roy

I think @kazu flew Monday and Tuesday, and in any case she did not stop in the US, so I think the disruptions would not have affected her even today. @Scrapnana may arrive on time but it will still be well after midnight when she gets home (or to daughter's). Her plane is currently on schedule but still has a round trip to Havana before it;s her turn. Roy

@kazu has fractured her elbow so I'm not sure when the next update of this thread will happen. In the meantime I will try to take care of the Bon Voyages until she is back but may miss additions that were not in her last list. Roy

Same for me. Today's sunrise is from the Crystal Serenity January 11. 2020 approaching the Panama Canal: Roy

Ironically. I'll pass on the original 2 days but salute Human Trafficking Awareness (or Prevention) day. I like the Sandburg quote and while lasagna was not on my meal today I will probably have it. My alternative is Thai Chicken and Forbidden Rice Soup, Roasted Rack of Lamb, and Forest Berry Tart as served on MS Prinsendam January 11, 2019: @kazu should be home now and according to flight aware @Scrapnana's daughter should be with her now. For her flight home the plane was finishing a flight 32 minutes behind schedule but has several more flights before this evening. I expect it will be well after midnight now when she lands in Richmond. I've been to Grand Turk several times, mostly on Crystal.

Oh no. @Scrapnana's daughter is supposed to be flying to Fort Lauderdale to accompany her home this evening. Roy

How about National Human Trafficking Day? Roy

Not sure what platform you're using but with a PC if you hover your mouse over the person's Avitar you get a box with some options. The little blue box bottom right is the button you want. For a thread you are describing there's one little hitch. If a non-ignored user quotes the ignore user you will see it that way. Roy

I'm guessing that tomorrow Zaandam and Eurodam will pass through the Gatun locks pretty much together and then part ways as Zaandam goes to the Pacific and Eurodam returns to Fort Lauderdale. I wonder what the rules are on tooting in Lake Gatun. Roy

I think I'll probably pass on today's days although I am likely peculiar in the traditional sense. I've been to Bar Harbor several times although only once on a BHB. The Sartre quote sounds a bit strange. The meatballs are a bit tempting but I think Ill pass. My alternative is Classic Caesar Salad, Filete de Ternera Apanada Con Parmesano (Veal Loin), Mango/Blueberry Crisp as served on MS Prinsendam January 10, 2019. @cunnorl congrats on the 4-star and the Grand Voyage. You should be among the first people of the season to visit Antarctica.

Yes, mapped in post 45. Roy

Looks like Noordam has found a substitute port at least for shelter if not for touring. Roy

Looks like Noordam is currently moored in Lyttleton/Christchurch. With the cyclone centered on the North Island not sure if this is a make up port or just shelter but I'm hoping for a makeup port. ' Roy

I'll salute both Choreographers and Law Enforcement (they frequently work very closely with fire) but pass on the balloon. I have not been to Bornholm Island; if you wish to do it on a HB this year June 7 on the Rotterdam is the time. I love the Hubbard quote. and like @StLouisCruisers will leave the sauerkraut to @dfish. My alternative is Classic Caesar Salad, Rustic Lasagna, and Strawberry Sundae as served on MS Prinsendam January 9, 2019: As I look at Marine Traffic sites it looks like Noordam may have found a chance to duck in at Christchurch/Lyttelton for a day. I think the one silver lining for @kazu is that she was disembarked in Puerto Vallarta instead of Matzalan where all hell broke loose while she was in the hospital. I'm not sure where my mind was when I posted the lists yesterday. I hope today's make a bit more sense.
