Crazy For Cats

Bon Voyage!

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily fleet report. After some strong storms last night we woke up to cool crisp air. The windows are open to air out the house and give the ac a rest for a few days. Mona slept next to me all night and at 4:30 she was all get up and serve breakfast!😆. Today’s chores are a trip to Aldi and mow the lawn. We are starting to review excursions for our September cruise and have settled on two to book to use the HIA promotion credits. I’ll pass on a fish burger and instead I think we are going to the 99 for dinner. I hope everyone has a good day today.

Good Afternoon, we made it home by 9:30. Traffic was unusually light. The cats greeted me demanding food and treats. Tucker has been all over me when I’m sitting on the couch. Made a quick trip to BBB and Christmas Tree and picked up a few things. Now we are heading to Taso’s for lunch/dinner and I think I’ll get pastitsio.

Bon Voyage !

Good Morning, thanks for today's daily fleet report. We are docked and waiting to disembark. Our ride is confirmed for a 9am pickup so will wait in the cabin for a bit longer. Looking forward to seeing the kids. We could have lasagna tonight but I suspect that we will go out for dinner today. @StLouisCruisers welcome to Boston and I hope you enjoy the cruise. Hoping everyone has a good Saturday.

It was a beautiful day in Bar Harbor. We took an Ollie Trolley to Acadia and made it to Cadillac Mountain. It was 58 pp and the ship version is 129.95 pp.

Good Morning from Bar Harbor, thanks for today's daily report. Once we clear immigration we will probably take the tender and go ashore. My shopping has been so good that I'm getting a refund once the cruise is complete. The concierge let me know that she will get my confiscated artwork and I can pick it up in the Lounge. I hope everyone has a good day. It was a foggy start to the day.

@Cruising-along @dobiemom they considered it a replica of an oar/paddle and that was enough since the real things are prohibited.

Good Morning from the Zaandam, thanks for today's daily report. Today is a sea day and there are only two items on the agenda, lunch at the PG and a 5* event at the Mix. I'm currently annoyed with ships security. I bought two pieces of art from a local Sydney artist in the pier shops. They confiscated one item because it's on the shape of an oar. It fits in our luggage. They promise to return it on Saturday but won't guarantee its safety from damage. I'm sure I'll get over this but not until the cruise ends. I hope everyone has a good day.

Bon Voyage !

Good Morning, we just got an update from the captain. Yesterday's emergency was a crew member, not a guest. They are doing very well after they received care at the hospital. From a waiter in PG they just boarded the ship in Boston.

Good Morning, thanks for today's report. It's a bit of a late start this morning. We went to the Orange Party last night and it was crowded. PG for dinner tonight. Starting the day with this

@richwmn Zaandam update for tomorrow. We will get to Sydney two hours late. We will depart two hours later than scheduled. Medics are on board and we should lrabe in about 20 minutes.

The captain isn't wasting any time getting back to port. You could see the tilt of the ship in the pool. Interestingly, we shared a table who had an excursion and their bus broke down. We left port an hour late. Wonder what would have happened if we left on time.

Good Evening, there is a medical emergency on board and we are going back to the pier.

Good Afternoon, the HOHO was nice today. We stopped at the garden and then walked to the Citadel.

Good Morning, thanks for the daily fleet report. We are approaching Halifax and the pilot is on board.

Good Evening, we had a nice dinner in the Pinnacle Grill. The service was good, we both ordered our steaks well done knowing that it would be under cooked, they came out medium. Luckily I'm ok with medium. As @dfish mentioned our Ocean Floor plans were cancelled, so were Peggy's Cove excursions for those who had them booked. I was able to replace it with a HOHO in Halifax. The replacement excursion is covered by HIA and the leftover credit reduced today's excursion by $40. Now we can take our time tomorrow morning.

Good Morning from Saint John. We are doing the HOHO today. This brings back memories. Adding video 20230724_101516.mp4

Bon Voyage!

Good Afternoon, I just completed my meeting with the Cruise Consultant, Alaska 2025 is booked. At the end of the meeting she let me know that StarLink is live on the Zaandam. Until they Putin more devices it can be spotty. If you go the the sitting are next to her department the signal is good. Is also good in the Neptune Lounge.

We did a non HAL excursion and it was nice. Made it to a lighthouse.

Good Morning, thanks for today's daily fleet report. It's a beautiful day as we approach Portland. The only thing on my agenda today is an appointment with the future cruise consultant this afternoon.

The pie was in the lido today.

We approach the port from the south. Traffic was getting a bit heavy so Waze took the driver on a detour to avoid it. I'm not overly familiar with Boston roads but I think your plan should work. I'd consider calling the hotel to confirm.
