My dilemma is I have never knowingly been positive and have tested pretty regularly. I had a negative PCR test after returning from the Eurodam November 30, so it's hard to imagine covid could have come and gone so briefly. Roy

This is a bit of a strange Bon Voyage. Both our intrepid sailors our on the same ship but the listings are different; I think with a common core. It looks like both are continuing to at least January 14. Bon Voyage to Rottererdam - 28-Dec-22 - 7 day Western Caribbean RetiredNow - B2B2B following Dec. 21st & with Jan. 4th Bon Voyage to Rotterdam - 28-Dec-22 - 17 day Western/Southern Caribbean Seasick Sailor - B2B2B following Dec. 11th & with Jan. 14th Bon Voyage RetiredNow and Seasick Sailor !!!!! Have a great Holiday cruise and a WONDERFUL time !!!!! Roy (for Jacqui)

Thank you for the hump day report, Rich. Today's weather seems appropriate for Winter Solstice. I like the Milne quote and have been to Puerto Madryn on Crystal Symphony, Zaandam, and Prinsendam. I'll pass on the meal. My alternative is Wattleseed Roasted Duck with Apricots and Passion Fruit Pavlova as served on MS Prinsendam December 21, 2013.

Well, definitely Bah Humbug day for me. I had my physical yesterday and last Friday I did PCR test at our Health Department just to check before the physical. Something went wrong and the results got hung up at the lab but I did a self test Monday which was negative. Well, the results arrived this morning and they were DETECTED. I'll hold out hope something went wrong while the sample was missing but I still need to deal with this, plus I have some prescriptions at the pharmacy which I need to figure out. Roy

Eurodam And Rotterdam Arrived

@dfish does the package have a shipper address? I assume you've checked that but sometimes assumptions are dangerous. Roy

Late toots but long and strong. Thanks Kathi, Lou & Dave, and fellow addicts. Roy

And now the bow but it looks like the Pokey Pilot. Roy

Zaandam at 0.6 Kt. Roy

I think I just heard Securite for Zaandam. Roy

On December 29 (last of 2022) we have Blue Hulled Beauties leaving from each coast. The Koningsdam is doing a 9-day Mexican Riviera cruise extending into the Sea of Cortez while Zuiderdam is on a relatively short Eastern Caribbean cruise as a prelude to the Grand World Voyage. Either way, it's a great way to ring in 2023. Whichever ship you are on we wish you a wonderful cruise making special memories: Bon Voyage to Koningsdam - 29-Dec-22 - 9 day Mexico & Sea of Cortez crystalspin - B2B with Jan. 7th - 32nd wedding anniversary cruise AV8rix - B2B following Dec. 22nd madera1 Vict0riann - B2B with Jan. 7th kazu - B2B2B following Dec. 17th & 22nd Bon Voyage to Zuiderdam - 29-Dec-22 - 5 day Gail & Marty sailing away - B2B with Jan. 3rd Grand Voyage Bon Voyage Everyone !!!!!

Thank you for the Tuesday report, Rich. Running very late with preparations for my physical this morning. I love all 3 of today's days and Sydney is a great port. Had a 3-day sojourn there in 20 between arriving on Crystal Serenity and leaving on QM2. I would probably take the port without the kale.

What's better than a cruise. How about a Holiday cruise on an elegantly decorated Blue Hulled Beauty wonderful New Year's celebration, mostly on the pool deck, and fine meals all done without lifting anything more stressful than a fork. That, a lovely beach day at Half Moon Cay and other warm destinations is a great way to ring in 2023.

Bon Voyage Everyone !!!!!! Have a great cruise and a WONDERFUL time !!!!! Roy (for Kazu)

On the Eurodam last month I don't think it was actually hand written notes but there were definitely thank you cards in much of my laundry and processing time was also much faster than advertised so it isn't just the Pinnacle Class. Roy

Another sunrise taken today on the way to my morning walk. The vantage point was a parking deck I have never been to before: Roy
