KenzSailing Posted March 5, 2021 #1026 Share Posted March 5, 2021 And over on the Covid thread front, I notice Vince continues to fight the good fight. I fear he's running low on supplies. Send up a flare, and I'll airdrop a couple batches of my French onion soup. Or, as some would have, it "Freedom" onion soup. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On March 4 the Serenity had overnighted in Buenos Aires and left that evening: Roy Roy that is beautiful! With any luck I'll be getting on the Endeavor there (BA) in exactly 7 months. Okay, I meant with a whole lot of lucky lucky lucky luck....;) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rafinmd Posted March 5, 2021 #1028 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Today's sunrise is from my 2018 Crystal 2-ship World Cruise. On March 5 the Crystal Symphony was at sea from Bay of Islands, NZ to Lautoka, Fiji: Roy 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rafinmd Posted March 6, 2021 #1029 Share Posted March 6, 2021 The last time I embarked on a cruise was March 6 last year, QM2 in Sydney. March 7 was a sea day and I caught my first sunrise then; It is now March 7 in Australia. Roy 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rafinmd Posted March 7, 2021 #1030 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Today's sunrise is the last from my 2016 Crystal Symphony Antarctic cruise that began with a pair of Cunard transatlantics. On March 7 Amtrak's Silver Meteor was in Northern Virginia approaching Washington DC. Roy 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claudiaYVR Posted March 7, 2021 #1031 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Watched Chef Ashton make short ribs on FB today, he's a delight and a reminder of everything I love about Crystal. Going shopping for the ingredients so I can make a special dinner for two this week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was flipping through that recipe page where they are all archived this morning and thinking what a great feature that's been for Chef Ashton and Crystal to provide. There are lots of great recipes in there, and collectively it's a great resource even beyond the weekly webcasts. I give a huge thanks to everyone that's made this possible!

Velveeta mac n' cheese is exactly what MY mother used to make, but then again her recipe box is filled with all kinds of 70's "food" atrocities so I should be careful what I admit to. That said, lots of those things work for a reason! (I refuse to talk about the microwave meatloaf recipe though.) Vince 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rafinmd Posted March 8, 2021 #1037 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Today's sunrise is actually a sunset, from my last cruise, Queen Mary 2 from Sydney to Perth instead of New York. On March 8 we visited Melbourne and it was the 10th time I saw "Come From Away" Roy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare rafinmd Posted March 9, 2021 #1040 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Today's sunrise is from my 2014 Crystal Symphony/Crystal Serenity/Amsterdam series, Bali-Singapore-Cape Town-Ft. Lauderdale. On March 9 Crystal Symphony was in Brunei: Thank you for the wishes. I don't expect a lot of news from today's tests but it will be progress.

I give up 🙁 This is a question for both you and Tracie (and maybe Patty?) since I know you've both done extensive troubleshooting with Crystal... Has Crystal checked their email vendor's blocked list (and not just their own) to make sure your addresses aren't unsubscribed by mistake at the vendor-level for some reason? My company's marketing team had that problem with two of the services that we've used. The participant either never unsubscribed or unsubscribed from an unrelated sender account in the system, but somehow their addresses migrated into some blocked list the system uses at a higher level for each blast. That would cause you to be on the distribution list for a blast but then the email tool would quietly filter you out of each blast when it queued up. Just a thought...

Texas Tillie Posted March 10, 2021 #1048 Share Posted March 10, 2021 My status re Crystal and emails is that I no longer get anything to the original email address that Crystal has had for me since 2007. I tried to get that address reactivated and finally gave up. I registered a different email address on the Crystal website. I get advertising emails to that address but nothing that indicates that I've ever done even one cruise with them. In all honesty, I don't really care about the email situation, but I'm more than a little peeved about not getting the money they have owed me since the earth cooled!!
