@aliaschief Bruce, Which Azamara ship are you sailing on?

Thank you both for your replies.

@VMax1700 Am enjoying your Live From thread. You have posted photos of Bread Pudding, Is Fruit Cobbler available alongside the Bread Pudding?

Thanks to Rich, @richwmn for the HAL Fleet locations and the Daily. Thanks for all the photos of Hubbard Glacier, there was calving when we were there, on the Volendam. Our electricity suddenly went off last evening during the womens football match , Spain v Sweden. It was partially restored about 10 pm, then fully at 1145. Apparently a fault. We had torches and candles within easy reach. Best wishes to everyone with health issues.

Bon Voyage Everyone!

@gregma60, am pleased that the mistakes HAL made have been corrected for your upcoming cruise. HAL added an R to my Christian name for an upcoming cruise, our travel agent contacted HAL for the correction.

Bon Voyage!

Thank you for the HAL Fleet report,and the daily. In History, today 14th of August, in 1891 The first petition, containing 9000 signatures,supporting the introduction of Parliamentary voting rights for women in New Zealand is presented to Parliament. Best wishes to all on the Care list.

Bon Voyage Everyone!

@richwmn Rich, thank you for posting the locations of the HAL Fleet and the Daily. Woke to snow this morning, sun came out and by 1030 it was beginning to melt. The cat wanted to go out, so let her out on the deck, she cautiously stepped along, but quickly came back indoors. Sad to see the TV news photos of the fires on Maui, visited Lahaina during our three Trans Pacific cruises on the beautuful Volendam Best wishes to everyone on the Care List.

@coachmouchet thank you for posting the video. Have enjoyed several cruises on the Volendam ........ our favourite HAL ship.

Started reading today's thread earlier, then decided to go for a walk before the weather deteriorated, afternoon snow is forecast. Five minutes into my walk rain began, so it was a short walk, around the block, thinking of 30 things to be grateful for. Since then have had a very heavy rain/sleet shower and more rain. @marshhawk pleased to read your news. @rafinmd good that your power is back. @ger_77 Hope your DH will not have to wait too long for the pacemaker to be inserted. Every day is cat day in our home. @richwmn Thank you for the Fleet report and daily.

If you are seeing a sale, perhaps you could book and pay for the four of you and they re-imburse you The prices I listed are per person.

Have checked the HAL Aus website, the prices are all in AUS dollars, interesting to compare your N.Statendam 14 day with a Noordam 14 day but in March. .........Sydney to Auckland. Here goes:: N.Statendam Inside, from 3579 Noordam Inside from 2219 Ocean View from 4479, Ocean view from 2379 Verandah from 4779 Verandah from 3419 Vistafrom 5679 Signature from 8929 Signature from 4459 Neptune from 10,129 Neptune from 5979 Am not seeing the N. Statendam cruise on sale.!

Another chilly winter day, temperature 5C. A good day to keep warm indoors. Thanks for all the photos of Crete. Today, in history on 8th August, in 1871, after considering a petition signed by 149 Dunedin women the University of Otago decides to permit women to attend its classes and sit examinations, becoming the first university in the British Empire to do so.

Thank you for the HAL Fleet report and daily. Four pages today,I will go and read al the posts.

Bon Voyage Everyone!

Pinnacle Grill breakfast and Laundry/Dry cleaning are great perks. During one cruise another passenger entered our stateroom number on their laundry slip, the concierge dealt with this three times for us. We have often eaten lunch in the Neptune Lounge. Enjoy your Noordam cruise.

Have not been to today's port, thanks for all the photos. @cunnorl Congratulations on your Anniversary. @lobsternight Wishing you a very Happy Birthday. @aliaschief hope the rain has eased off and that you do not get flooded. Re the food discussion for folk being treated for cancer, when I was having Chemo and Radiotherapy, discovered that some food/drinks tasted horrible, now 4 & 3/4 years later still cannot drink strong coffee, and avoid some foods. It's been a journey of trial and error.........but chocolate was/ is OK.!

Thank you for the HAL Fleet report and daily. Now to read all the posts.

Bon Voyage!

@richwmn Rich, Thank you for the HAL Fleet report and daily. Have not been to Bari, thank you to posters who posted the photos, it looks to be an interesting place to visit. @marshhawk you mentioned me yesterday, I had posted with information about Cherry Juice, on the day that @ger_77 told us that her DH had gout, Best wishes to all on the Care List.

We have twice done the Australian Circumnavigation cruise, both times anticlockwise, on board the Volendam and the Maasdam Both were very good cruises.

Bon Voyage Everyone!
