  1. Today's sunrise is from a 2013 trip to Atlantic Canada. On August 16 I was on an early morning bus on the way to Baltimore's Amtrak station and MS Veendam out of Boston. BTW, it looks like in the last 24 hours Serenity has moved slightly, I think into a drydock. Roy

  3. Thank you for the Tuesday Report, Rich. 2 hump days in a row, over the hump on August today and on the week tomorrow. I used to love roller coasters and still enjoy a good quote. Not sure what to make of the meal or the quote. My alternative is Sunset Salad, Orange and Grapefruit Medley and Spaghetti Amatriciana with Grilled Chicken Breast which would have been my choices on MS Prinsendam August 4, 2011 if I had not had a large Pinnacle Grill Lunch. I noted changes in HAL Covid protocol yesterday but they might have a few too many political ramifications to be appropriate on the Daily.

  4. With Luggage Forward you will still pick up your bag in the usual place and take it through customs and the representative will be right at the terminal exit. I did it on July 8. Roy
  5. @Heartgrove Lily London is adorable. @StLouisCruisers Sadie is beautiful. Hope training helps soon with the jumping. Roy
  6. Today's sunrise is from my 2015 Blount Small Ship Adventures New England cruise. On August 15 the Grande Caribe was in Portland, Maine. Roy

  8. Thank you for the Monday report, Rich. 3 very nice days to celebrate including the Acadians. Interesting quote by Gatsby. I have never been to East Timor. The meal sounds nice. My alternative is Chilled Carrot and Ginger Soup, Pinnacle Burger, and Sorbet, my lunch in Prinsendam's Pinnacle Grill August 4, 2011.

  9. @ger_77 I would like to wish you a mild case but cannot square that with "hit by a truck". I think the best I can do is wish you a swift recovery at least in feeling better although it is almost certainly going a while before your energy returns. Do take care of yourself. Roy
  10. Today's sunrise is my earliest ever, taken on my one cruise aboard SS Rotterdam V. It was taken August 14, 1997 as we steamed the inland passage from Seward to Vancouver. It was my first cruise with Rick Spath: Roy

  12. Thank you for the Sunday report, Rich, and thank you Graham for Vicar David's message. I THINK I have played wiffle ball sometime in the distant past but not sure. I'll salute both the Navajo Code Talkers and Financial awareness. I love the quote but have not been to Venice. No idea what the meal is. My alternative is Classic Caesar Salad, Prime Rib of Beef au jus, and Baked Alaska which may well have been my final dinner on Grand Dame (Rotterdam V) August 14, 1997.

  13. My mouth won't open that wide. Roy
  14. That time again. Your vaccum and my microwave. Right in the middle of making lunch. I was a lot happier with the old one than I am with the new one. Roy
  15. Today's sunrise is from my 2018 Grand Alaska Panama trip. On August 13, on the final leg, Crystal Symphony visited Cabo San Lucas: Roy

  17. Thank you for the Saturday report, Rich. No middle children and I don;t think any lefties in my immediate family. Garage sales are a great way to downsize. I like the Roth quote. If you are really fearless you are likely a danger to others as well. I've been to Copenhagen just once, Elegant Explorer in 2015. Not sure what the meal is. My alternative is Apple, Pear, and Cucumber Salad, Roasted Rack of Veal with Prosciutto and Sage, and Almnd and Orange Cake A La Mode which might have been my choices on Rotterdam V (the day we visited Ketchikan) on August 13, 1997.

  18. A question for @StLouisCruisers. Can you share what hotel you are using in Ft. Lauderdale, and how quick and easy it is to get back to your car after your cruise. When I disembark Eurodam November 20 there is a church service I would like to get to. Thanks Roy
  19. I'm not on the cruise. Just did it as a test as there's no fee or obligation attached. Worked like a charm for me. When your time comes (unless you want to do a dry run first) you will also be asked if you've been to any other countries in the last 14 days and if you have any symptoms. I think it was actually the first time I tried it on the app. I've always done it on the web site. Roy
