Thank you Rich. for the penultimate single-digit Fleet Report and Daily of 2022. We don't celebrate Immaculate Conception Day but owe a lot to our Blue Collar Workers. I wonder if National Brownie Day is the food or the young Girl Scouts. Curacao is a great port but I've had a history at ending up in the crummiest berth. I like the Green quote. I'll pass on the meal. My alternative is Chilled Anjou Pear Soup, Perfectly Grilled Breast of Chicken, and Rhubarb Crisp as served on MS Prinsendam December 8, 2013. Today’s care list: RIP CruzinTerri neighbor Jane lazey1 with post cruise Covid Tana with pneumonia hoping for continuing results from new antibiotic Cruising along severe flu Otahand7 DB back in hospital but rehab continuing From the rotation: Granham upcoming appointments December 12 and 13 Status of St. Louis Sal (7/1) and JAM37 (7/7) HAL Sailer Sister in Law with aggressive cancer therapy Cruisin Terri leak damage Celebrations and Shoutouts: Time person of the year Volodymyr Zelenskyy Work in progress on Cruzin Terri’s house Erewhon and lazey1 back on Cruise Critic The end of the US Open Enrollment Power back in Moore County Quartzite Cruizer DH doing great at home 3 days for Seasick Sailor (Rotterdam 12/11 to 1/25/23) 2 days for Cruisin Terri (Insignia 12/10 to 12/28) Lady Hudson (Enchantment OTS, to 12/9), RedbeckBob (Nieuw Statendam to 12/17), Dobiemom (Discovery Princess to 12/10), Mister67 (Nieuw Amsterdam to 12/11) SusiekIslandGirl (Island Princess to 12/12) StLouisCruiser and Summer Slope (Volendam to 12/17) at sea Cunnorl (Noordam to 1/2/23), Damcruiser (Nieuw Statendam to 1/14/23), and Horizon Chaser1957 (Zaandam to 12/20; Zuiderdam 12/22 to 5/12/23) at sea Roy

Bon Voyage!!!! Roy

She's been wishing all of us Bon Voyage for over 10 years now and finally it's her turn. Getting from Saint John to San Diego in winter is no small feat, and Kazu has taken measures to make it while, staying on our first Pinnacle Ship for a full 3 weeks, so that hopefully will be enough to justify the travel. While it's just Kazu listed here for the initial segment, there are several other Cruise Critic members joining in later segments and I suspect some additional friends may be joining. Wishing Kazu bearable flights and a wonderful 3 weeks on the Koningsdam. Bon Voyage to Koningsdam - 5 day Mexican Riviera: kazu - B2B2B with Dec. 22 & Dec. 29th Bon Voyage Kazu !!!!!! Have a great cruise and a WONDERFUL time !!!!! Roy

Thank you for the Hump Day report, Rich. Interesting juxtaposition of the Day that will Live in Infamy and National Joy Day. Illinois is a great state. The quote is quite interesting but a bit over my head so early in the morning. I've never cruised to Red Bay but visited it in 2000 as the end point of the Newfoundland-Labrador ferry on a land trip. I'll pass on both the Cotton Candy and the Casserole. My alternative is Chilled Sour Cherry Soup, Oven Roasted Beef Tenderloin, and Raspberry Sundae as served on MS Prinsendam December 7, 2013.

Happy Birthday, @Cat in my lap! @aliaschief I'm so pleased to hear your flight went well. I was having nightmares about the pressure changes with congestion from a head cold. Roy

Thank you for the Tuesday report, Rich. Miner's lives are both difficult and dangerous but their services are vital. Walt Disney was a real influence on our culture. I love Gazpacho, especially as it was served on a BHB. The quote is very interesting, I think I agree with most of it, but a lot to digest. I've only been to Norway on the Elegant Explorer, but not to Stravamger. The meal sounds nice. My alternative is Spaghetti, Sauteed Veal Piccata, and Tiramisu, my first dinner on Prinsendam's new Canaletto on December 6, 2013.

I don't know if it ever fills up for lunch but a good time to try is when a port is cancelled. They usually start taking reservations almost immediately. Roy

Thank you for the Monday report, Rich. I haven't worn blue jeans for years but will definitely salute volunteers including MANY dailyites. I'll take a pass on Ninja day, but love the Einstein quote. Never been to Mcronesia. Today's meal suggestion is so comprehensive I'll take a pass on an alternative today. I finally got my antivirus situation resolved yesterday afternoon.

And she's gone. Thanks Kathi, Lou & Dave, and fellow addicts. Roy

Several nice toots today. Roy

Anytime NA wants to move forward I'm ready. Roy

Thank you for the Sunday report, Rich. Cheetahs are magnificent creatures, and where would our countries be without our banks. My cookie of choice is oatmeal raisin and I had some wonderful ones on the Eurodam. The Brigham Young quote is certainly interesting. Sadly, I've never been to Tasmania. A patty melt sounds interesting. My alternative is Chilled Blackberry Soup, Grilled Lamb Chop, and Strawberry Crisp as served on MS Prinsendam December 4, 2013. Yesterday was kind of a frustrating day. I have a new laptop and it's my first with Windows 11. It came with a trial antivirus subscription from the same company I use on my existing computers and have a blanket subscription. I tried to add the existing subscription to the new laptop but it would only allow me to buy and extension of the trial. I wasted about 2 hours with McAffee support but it went nowhere because I couldn't get Win11 to allow them to make some changes. I think I have FINALLY resolved the Windows problem and they are due to try again this afternoon. I did only quickly scan yesterday's report so may have missed some things.

Oh no. Wishing you mild cases and a speed y recovery. Roy

Looks like a string of sunrises from my 2013 Prinsendam Amazon cruise coming up. On December 3 we visited Devil's Island. Roy
