Took some pics yesterday of her sister, USNS Mercy, berthed at the cruise terminal of the port of L.A. (San Pedro)

 

I see the Love Boat terminal!

So where is Zuiderdam going afterwards? Are the HAL ships joining the Princess fleet over at Great Isaac Cay?

 

Zuidy is going back to one of the (several) great gatherings of unused cruise ships off Great Stirrup Cay aka the Grand Bahama anchorage

That makes sense. 

 

If you clump them all together in one spot, it'll look like a film set for "Waterworld". 😱

I've sailed from there a few times on a Panama transit.  

 

Twice on Nieuw Amsterdam, and once on Noordam. Those were great trips.

[Vic The Parrot]

BTW, I see you took that shot from the bridge. 

 

How did you manage that without causing an accident? LOL. 🤣

Maria took it; I was driving keeping my eyes on the road like a responsible driver 😉 , especially on the Vincent Thomas!

Looks like the Whitestone Bridge in the Bronx. Probably the same architect ...

A plane just took off!

Crystal uses that terminal regularly.  It's amazing how little it's changed since those days.  John, wasn't that the terminal used in 2018 when we met for lunch on Serenity?

Thanks John, it’s going to be tough looking at Zuiderdam and knowing I won’t be boarding her April 19th. 
 

 

I feel the same way 😞

Edge is confirmed for 4.30 pm and Zuiderdam for 4.35pm,  IOS confirmed for 5pm

[rafinmd]

I have a church meeting at 4 (virtual).  I will try to watch silently, but probably won't post during the sailaway.

Hopefully, if everyone ‘plays by the rules’, then this may well be over by then.  I sure hope so.  I worry about it coming back in the fall.

Me too, though they might be testing a vaccine and cure by then.

You are more hopeful than I, my friend.  We cancelled our totally planned out Japan cruise at the end of September.  I hope you are right but vaccines take time unless you take risks with people’s lives generally speaking.

Agreed, which is why I used the word testing. I know they are trying tests with antibodies from people who have recovered from the virus. Hope that helps.  2% sounds like such a tiny death toll. But when applied to the World’s adult population, it is anything but. And now children are not as immune as was once hoped. 
 

Stay well, Jacqui.

Looks like fast ferry Jaume II (at Berth 21) is still in business since she keeps appearing and disappearing from Port Everglades

How's the tundra? still frozen?

I am still hoping to get to Alaska in July or September.

You too.  I should be packing but instead I’m planting in my home 😉 

If I can’t cruise, I’ll have flowers (I hope).  Who? Kazu?  flowers?  What a surprise 😉 

 

We’re homebodies and doing what we can to avoid the spread.

Still waiting for the glaciers to recede from the back yard, but did hear a robin singing yesterday, so spring is coming!  Thanks for asking!
