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

I do too. You NEED to take care of yourself. Roy

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.

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

And gone. Roy

Should be here soon. Roy

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

Actually, there should not be an issue, I just tried a dry run for Quantum OTS August 15 on the App on my IPAD. The receipt showed up in my email which can be printed as from any regular email on your computer. Roy

That's strange. I ran into the same issue with online access to the Fire Department Investment firm access. Blocked by the Station antivirus but fine from my home computers with both McAffee and Norton. As long as you keep up to date on the App you should be fine that way. You should bet a code with the app that you can show if needed to board. I think though that Royal will know that you're cleared as they check clearance with the Canadian authorities before you board. Roy

That is SO sad. Will Jacqui ever catch a break? Roy

Happy Birthday and thank you for the TGIF report Rich. I haven't had Kool Aid in many years, and not a big fan of the meteor shower. I used to have a big collection of Vinyl records but the turntable died years ago. They have made a great comeback. I remember disembarking my first Prinsendam cruise at Edinburgh in 2011, 11 years ago tomorrow. I love the Dietrich quote but will pass on the sushi. My alternative is Chilled Red Grape and Cranberry Soup with Orange-Ginger Pork, my last dinner of my first cruise on the Elegant Explorer.

Have a wonderful cruise and congratulations on that anniversary. If you get a chance can you post the latest status of Sabine. Thanks. Roy

Welcome to Cruise Critic. Roy

All I know is what I see from people who are on the Koningsdam. Roy

@smitty34877 prayers for recovery for Tana and strength and help for you. @ger_77 , prayers for DS and that DH (and you) do not get Covid. Roy

@RedneckBob I did not put you on the care list, assuming that other people, including utilities and possibly insurance were responsible for paying for all the damages from the incident. I hope I was not mistaken. Roy

Interesting collection of days, I haven't spent a lot of time in the sand in years. A special salute to Sons and Daughters. Thought provoking statement by Lewis. Sydney is definitely an interesting port. Looks like Zaandam is not that far away today. I like the meal.

Thank you for the not quite Friday, Rich. Is that supposed to be Play in the sand? Roy

Today my TA (well effectively me) made the final payment on my November Eurodam cruise. One step closer to a BHB, Roy
