I wonder what's going in nearer the bow.

That orange doohickey is a rented cherry picker. They are used all the time for standard maintenance like painting. It's right near her port side dive board at this time

Thanks Copper. It's nice to see so clearly what's going on.

Is that the Zuiderdam with passengers missing at the Passenger Safety Drill?

Sounded to me as if that's so. :(

Thanks, Roy. I guess if I'm back in time, I'll be here to see who's left. I just had my typhoid shot, so, if my arm starts hurting right away, I my not even go to the exercise class. That would be a reason to stay home and watch sail-aways!

 

Which countries are you visiting to need typhoid shots?

Seems like they need to clean the lens of the cam; looks a bit "smeary".

No wonder I've heard people complain about MSC cruises. Doesn't look that comfortable.

It's a case of having to right now, after the Christmas over-indulgence. I've been ordered to drop 10 lbs. I've even very reluctantly given up my glass of wine with dinner.:(
