Crazy For Cats

Rotterdam underway

Thanks, that means I can pick up dinner and not miss anything.

Good Afternoon, I have the Port of New York open hoping the Rotterdam departs on time. Not the same as Port Everglades but some nice views are possible. https://www.portnywebcam.com

Thank you.

Good Morning, thanks for today’s daily fleet report. I like caramel popcorn but haven’t had any in awhile. I could celebrate National Beer day once the work day is over, we have some Medalla in the fridge. We’ve been to today’s port once and enjoyed the Ride on the Rapids excursion, one of the best we’ve done through HAL. We should have been there next month but the port was cancelled. Hopefully we will get there in July on the Zaandam. I’ll pass on today’s meal suggestion but may get Chinese takeout instead. I hope everyone has a good day today.

I watched an interview with Carnival Corp CEO on FBN. They had some very nice shots of HAL’s Pinnacle class ships and some very nice footage from HMC. A very positive interview and was nice to see HAL front and center.

I was on the Zaandam last summer for two weeks and didn’t run into any problems. The staff were excellent and the Ocean Bar became our bar of choice. We are booked on her again this year, May, July and September. I expect everything will be fine then too.

Over the past two months when I’m using manage my booking and go to make a payment on that booking it takes me to the wrong booking. I really only noticed it because it took me to a booking that was paid in full. Still happened this past weekend when paying for a September cruise.

Good Afternoon, awhile back we had a discussion about smoke detectors going off for no apparent reason. Over time about half our detectors have been taken off line since they became defective. We just had a visit with our electrician and we are now having all of the detectors replaced. One of the potential causes of detectors going off errantly is a surge in the electrical system of the house. To help prevent that and more importantly to protect the appliances in the house he recommended a surge protector added to our fuse box. The surge protector wasn’t that expensive, 375, so we agreed to have that added. Since 2020 they are required for new installations in our area. They will install everything on 4/13.

Bon Voyage!

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily fleet report. Today’s meal suggestion sounds good to me and I look forward to pictures and recipes from @dfish. Yesterday I decided to get Chinese takeout but saw a post from the local Greek restaurant and their special was stuffed cabbage and that changed my mind. It was very good. We’ve been to today’s port twice and missed it twice, it is a nice port. I hope everyone has a good day today.

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily fleet report. I’d like a good deep dish pizza, DH prefers thin crust. I’m remember picking dandelions so that DM could make wine. I’ll pass on today’s meal suggestion. Yesterday I got the shareholder perk added to my September cruise and the two that follow it. I’m taking the afternoon off as sick time but it’s more a mental health afternoon. Since DH will be tied up with work until very late I’m debating on takeout for dinner. I hope everyone has a good day today.

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for today’s daily fleet report. Today is an in office day so I need to get moving soon. I’ll pass judgment on today’s meal suggestion until we see what @dfish shares. Last nights Shipwreck Stew was a hit and I’ll probably make it again, a different way to help clean out the freezer and pantry. When I was in school I volunteered in the school library. I’ll pass on hugging a newsman or newswoman. I hope everyone has a good day today.

Made it just in time for a long loud toot and to see the gang on their balcony

Good Morning Jacqui, could you please add us to the Zaandam 10 Day Newfoundland & New England Discovery September 3, 2023 listing? The pet sitter has confirmed and I’m all paid so I really think it will happen. I just need to book air to Montreal. Thanks

Bon Voyage!

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily fleet report. Today started at 25F but should get into the 50's this afternoon. I'll pass on today's meal suggestion. Instead I'm going to try something different, shipwreck stew. It crossed my fb feed and looks interesting. My job stopped being fun a few years back, bad management, but I'll still sign in so I can pay for cats and cruises. I hope everyone has a good day today. I caught this rainbow at HMC.

The Rotterdam looks good coming into port this morning.

Nice toots from the NA. NS toots win for the weekend!

Checking in.

Bon Voyage!

The NA looks good coming into port this morning.

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for today’s daily fleet report. I’d consider trying today’s meal suggestion, cod being a fish that I eat on occasion. I have a pork roast marinating so will have that for dinner. I do like PBJ and had one yesterday. My current favorite jam is strawberry rhubarb. A trip to Aldi is the only errand on the agenda. I hope everyone has a good day today.
