Bon Voyage! Roy

Prayers for Fran in her final days. Roy

I hope there's nothing too serious going on with @kazu. By this time we usually have a new Future Cruise List. Hopefully out picking up her SUV or something. Roy

Today's sunrise is from my 2017 Amsterdam Grand Asia voyage. October 16 was a sea day from Kushiro to Yokohama. Roy

So sorry to hear about the positive test. Roy

That is awesome. Roy

Nobody has mentioned the proliferation of guns in the US. With one of the world's highest incarceration rates we still have all this carnage. Roy

Quick question, how do you get the menus. Do they actually show up as a PDF on your device? Roy

Thank you for the TGIF report Rich. I thought we had Bald and Free day a couple of days ago. I like eggs in moderation, especially the custom omelets on a BGB, and I LOVE deserts. A bit of an interesting quote from Twain. I have been to Ensenada just once, on the Carnival Inspiration. Not sure what the meal is but I'll probably pass while I wait to see what Tina @0106 says. My alternative is chilled Arjou Pear soup, Prime Rib Au Jus, and Apple Crisp as served on MS Amsterdam October 14, 2017.

Today's sunrise is again from my 2015 QM2 crossing and I got it somewhat by accident. I had lost track of the time but was investigating QM2's magnificent bow and there it was: Roy

Welcome back. Roy

Thank you for the Thursday report, Rich. Not quite sure about suit up day but I think of it in terms of donning fire gear. Sometimes I'm a skeptic, and I think most of my silly sayings are unintentional. I hope all ships play Eternal Father Strong to Save today. It's warm here today but pretty much an all day rain, lighter in the morning and stormy in the afternoon, so I will likely try to get all my errands done this morning and hunker down after lunch. I've been to Malaga twice, Celebrity Solstice in 2012, and Prinsendam in 2017. I'll pass on the meal. My alternative is Chilled Sour Cherry Soup, Chicken Tikka, and Blackberry Crisp as served on MS Amsterdam October 13, 2017. Today’s care list: RIP Const. Morgan Russell and Const.

I'll be interested in your experiences. I've always been a Britannia cruiser and never thought of upgrading until recently. I had a MAJOR cruise credit after my 50-day voyage from Sydney to New York was cancelled due to Covid, and have had some medical setbacks since then which make me unwilling to do long voyages. I decided to use most of the credit for a 2-week voyage in Princess Grill next year. Roy

@HAL Sailer. so sorry to hear about your DSIL's latest developments. @kazu three cheers for your neighbor loaning you a car. Roy

Today's sunrise is from a 2015 big ship round trip transatlantic, over to Europe on QM2 and back on Allure of the Seas. October 12 was our first sea day out of New York. Roy

St. Pierre as seen from the deck of the Crystal Symphony: And Miquelon: Roy

Thank you Rich for the Hump Day Fleet Report and Daily. I never use cookbooks and find them likely a bit pointless when cooking for one. Emergency Nurses are certainly angels of life and have a very difficult life right now. A couple of my cousins are mostly retired but could qualify as old farmers. I love the Cunningham Quote. I was deeply saddened by Angela Lansbury's passing as she is the Godmother of the Crystal Symphony. I was due to visit St. Pierre and Miquelon on that Crystal Symphony in 2012 but conditions did not allow tendering. The meal sounds link a winner.

Today's sunrise is from my 20111 combination of Blount Small ship Adventures voyage through the Erie Canal New York to Montreal and returning to New York on the Crystal Symphony. On October 11 the Grande Mariner was in Quebec: Roy

Prayers also for the Zaandam passenger medically disembarked in Fort Lauderdale only 1 hour into her Grand Voyage. Roy
