The Fleet Report and Daily for Tuesday May 9th, 2023

[cruzn single]

Just a quick, short update.  Can't read much.  Can't get my glasses on - swollen nose, with stitches, and still lots of bruising.  Hate this whole thing, and to think I have to go through it again in about 3-4 weeks.  My take on things - Cancer Suck@. Sorry for my language, but---.

 

Till I can post again, thoughts and prayers for all.

Good afternoon, time for a quick check-in.

 

We stopped at a couple of greenhouses and ended up picking up 4 pots of multi coloured dahlias.  I've never had them before, and am hoping they are continuous blooming, or we'll be replacing them.

 

I wanted to share my mom's button box - I'm sure some of you still have one like it around.  It was interesting opening it, because in addition to very old buttons, there were earrings, a cuff link, a belt buckle, and even a little ivory handled pen knife.  Great memories in that one container.

 

 

Ooh, I have one too, so much fun!

I am so sorry. I know the swollen nose issue all too well.... and the inability to get glasses on. Take care.

So late but that’s the day it’s been here!  
 

When my 2 step sons came to live with me at ages 9 and 12 they had a tub of soccer socks, including 31 odd socks!  No 2 had the same stripes. I tossed them and started over. 
 

Moscato is about all I can drink anymore. I’ll never find out when $400 champagne tastes like. 
 

Sorry for the misery Mary Kay, Ann and Vanessa! Hope it passes soon. 
 

Erewhon, cheers for the good report!  
 

May Ivan enjoy his new do!  
 

Blessings all!  Maureen

@Oceansaway17 you raise a thorny issue.  I was hospitalized with pneumonia in early February and really have not recovered that much.  Actually, I should have been on Vision as we speak but did not feel like I could safely make the trip.  I've been following a live thread by @DragonOfTheSeas and very impressed by what I see of Vision, especially a couple of differencees from other Vision class like a few outdoor tables behind the Park Cafe,

 

@grapau27 you seem to be lucky in the UK.  @DragonOfTheSeas and DH got new blocks but were told them if they did not carry them off the ship they would not get them.

Roy @rafinmd.

It came via International courier from the United States.

We usually pay a lot more for our cruises in the UK and don't have Refundable deposits like the US.

Oh no, that sounds so uncomfortable!  I hope things improve soon for you.  If I didn't wear my glasses I couldn't read here.  Prayers for you!

 

Also prayers for Vanessa @JazzyV's knees and Ann @Vict0riann's headache as well.

Our port of the day is Probolinggo, Java Indonesia.  I have only been to Benoa (Bali).  This port sounds like a good one

Can you please tell me if Holland America handles the Visas for Indonesia?  Any help is appreciated.  We are US citizens. Thanks

We happened to have an appointment with Future Cruise Consultant Annette this morning and she said Indonesian visas are handled on the ship by Holland America. If you want to double check that advice, call HAL or your travel agent.
