Crazy For Cats

Good Morning from the Nieuw Amsterdam. Thanks for the daily fleet report. We had a wonderful dinner in the Tamarind last night and are going back tonight. It was a bit bumpy overnight but seems to have calmed down this morning. I'm not sure if we are getting off the ship today. I hope everyone has a good day today.

A faint rainbow as we leave.

We are sailing out of the rain.

The sky just opened up big time.

And now we are underway.

And now we are getting wet

Departure toot. It is rainy near us but not on us, yet.

We should be underway in about 15 minutes

Based on today's experience just show up when you are ready. Boarding didn't start until 11:30. We were group A with an 11 arrival time.

IMHO the NA feels like a fuller ship. The lido was packed when I walked through, the MDR was the busiest I've seen since the shutdown and the ludo pool looks busy. From what I observed most staff are not wearing masks. Masks are provided in the stateroom but are not kn95.

We just checked in to the NA. I saw the Verifly sign and watched as they turned it around to face the wall. Never asked for it. Deleting the app.

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily fleet report. I like today’s meal suggestion, sadly I haven’t had it in a long time. I wish we could stop with the time changes. Lights were out early last night and we were awake by 4:30. I got to watch the NA arrive in port, looking forward to embarking today. I hope everyone has a nice day today.

Bon Voyage.

She looked good coming into port!

I’m awake and ready to watch the NA arrive.

Bon Voyage!

Nice toots from the NS.

I better not miss this sail away!😁. I plan on waving to the camera from our corner aft cabin on deck 6.

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily fleet report. Early start to the day. Caught our flight and landed in FLL. When we hot to the hotel our room was ready. Now we are having breakfast at Joe's Diner. The crack of dawn from the window seat.

He doesn’t like road trips. Probably I’m marking this with my fur! He is the one that likes to sleep on my lap when I’m working.

Good Afternoon, I brought down our bags and Jasper had to inspect.

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily fleet report. Today promises to be in the 70’s certainly doesn’t feel like November. I’m all checked in for flight and hotel. Luckily my work schedule has only one meeting so I’ll be able to finish packing. I’ll also make sure the house is presentable for the pet sitter. Ill try to get to bed a bit early since our flight starts boarding at 5am tomorrow, ugh. I hope everyone has a good day today.

I will report back. Since we are vaccinated I’m not concerned. We are bringing cards anyway.
