Today's sunrise is from my 2019 Prinsendam Grand South America cruise. January 5 was a sea day from Fort Lauderdale to Santa Marta. Roy

Thank you Rich, Jacqui, Vanessa, Debbie, Ann, and Dixie. Two of the leaders in my church are avid birders, and I'm pleased to see the screenwriters back on the job. I'll pass on the Keto. I like the quote but have not been to Sharm El Sheikh. I'll celebrate Harry Truman although he is really before my time but little respect for Benedict Arnold. I'll pass on the meal. My alternative is Salad of Arigula and Frisee, Rack of Lamb, and Strawberry Romanoff as served on MS Prinsendam January 5, 2019: I forgot to photograph the desert but got some nice cookies later in the Lido.

I think our first sailaway host @aliaschief is embarking today on Azamara's world Cruise and his ship just arrived: Bon Voyage. Roy

Today's maps: Welcome Rotterdam Roy

Bon Voyage! Roy

Also, we have @aliaschief on Azamera Onward World Cruise. Roy

And toots. Thanks Leanne, Dave, and fellow addicts. Looks like a very quick turnaround today. Roy

That lovely "porch" just under the bow. Roy

You are correct. I moved over from the Serenity Transatlantic and actually went back over to Serenity for a visit from Grand Turk. I was amazed at how much holiday decoration had gone up during my time on Symphony. Roy

This is that file" I saved it as a screenshot on my IPAD and then copied it to my laptop. Roy

Back to the Daily very late today after a long session with the n memories of Tom Thumb. I've done Trivia on ships many times but not recently. I also haven't followed Pop Charts for many years. No idea why anyone would even think of putting a sock in a toaster. I'll celebrate the Stock Market but am ambivalent about the Colt considering how much carnage guns have caused in the US. I haven't been to Loreto. Not convinced about the meal but maybe. My alternative is Sauteed Pork Chop and Key Lime Pie as served on MS Prinsendam January 4. 2019. Roy

I have a sunset today rather than a sunrise. It's from my 2019 Prinsendam Grand South America cruise and on January 4 the sun went down while we were still in Fort Lauderdale waiting to sail, Roy

I think that's an Apple specific format and think it is actually video rather than photos. Roy

Luggage forward may or may not be willing to pick up your luggage far enough in advance to allow for your land time. If they don't can you leave your bags with a friend to hold until the date they give? I still think the best solution is to take your bag with you and leave it at a hotel near your embarkation port. Luggage Forward also becomes a lot more expensive and complicated when you cross an international border. You might call to discuss it at (607)482-1100. They are very service oriented. Roy

I think that's pilot time so 9AM at the dock sounds reasonable. Roy

Wishing you a wonderful cruise. Roy

And she's off into the night with some nice toots. Thanks Leanne, Dave, and fellow addicts. Roy

I've always said I'm fine with a PP if we're looking at a BHB. Roy

And 0.3 kt, Roy

Now confirmed for 19:30 another 45 minutes. Roy

I was hopeful for a daylight departure but apparently not. Roy
