  1. Better hurry and upload 2 more sets of FSD - Day 13 and Day 14, for Amsterdam & Zeebrugge, in PDF format while Starlink remains "up" Prima TA Apr 2024 free-style-daily_Day 13.pdf PDF document(1).pdf
  2. @Turtles06 Judith, thanks 👍 and so far so good, it's about 10:45 PM out here on the English Channel with the moon up to our west, starboard side. Coastal England is about 20 nm away only. Nothing yet but the night sky is brighter than usual, clear skies and calm seas. Starlink is working onboard and dial into Station Zebra home base - it's 4:45 PM in NY, all is good.
  3. Meanwhile, 95% finished packing Susan's 24" suitcase - no extra shoes yet, going to disappoint the 2 Sharon's and AR. But, never know with 2 days remaining 😁
  4. Ditto, allow me to add ...meeting finally those mysterious CC strangers in person to know they aren't AI bots, the friendship that hopefully will endure, continue and last, until the next cruise 🤗 - 36 hours remaining on this TA. We can and will be on the back channel, sidebar, and direct messaging on top of being on CC. BTW, we're finally able to book the last show, one & only this evening at 6:30 PM 🙄😳🫢🤔😯 to see The Price is Right. If we did not had better things to do, would've rush over to see the "show" again as we did so already on the last TA Let it Go, Let it Go 😉😉😉
  5. Swift Menu, dated 8/202 prices up ? maybe fewer choices, in the spirit of simplicity - for your in/convenience - sure bet @dexddd - proof positive, it's alive & well
  6. Lots of vessels traffic as we head toward the English Channel earlier, another cruise ship in the distance, starboard side - P&O Iona at 30x zoom A pretty sunset heading south on the Channel, England on the distance, going 22 kts. with ETA given on Marinetraffic as 5 AM. Amazingly calm seas nearly all the way on this TA, and not missing a single port of call.
  7. Randomly chosen MDR food pictures - Day 14 Niece's pre-order for today's MDR came out good as it should, with her multiple food allergies. She'll know better to eat only in the buffet in the future, whether it's NCL again ( Platinum ) after this cruise or back to Princess and Royal Caribbean.
  8. Get those waffles - 1 or 2 of the 10 varieties should bring a smile to you and at those prices, try their beef stew but skip the hotdog. Our total came to just 30.20 Euro including 3 soda & cappuccino, less than the cost of a single price fixed set lunch.
  9. Swift - yes, still available, for your convenience, to sail & sustain. And, with just a nominal charge only.
  10. Seagulls & birds are here, meal time signals as the ship's thrusters are spinning as if we are ready to set aside - no pier runners today since the PA system hasn't call out for guests to contact them ....
  11. Happenings around the ship and outdoors - Ocean Walk ... not a soul out there, can't tell if the Infinity Pool is open Vibe Beach Club - looks quiet today Noodles soup in the buffet - The quieter section toward the back, hotdogs, burgers & things are served here. Harbor cruise ???
  12. Nevermind, look what we got earlier and it's safely onboard ... had to be careful as the buffet crew were all asking questions & looking for a way to clear our table 😅
  13. Very scenic and great for photography loving cruisers ... over 7,000 steps today for us. Leave those high heels on the ship and get out those walking boots. No life vests - all swimmers onboard ... Watch out for them and the bicyclists that appeared out of nowhere 😳 The check is in the mail - it's a functioning mail drop.
  14. Zeebrugge and Brugge isn't exactly a friendly port for anyone with mobility challenges or access issues in getting around. Must be like 6,000 cruise ship passengers from NCL and MSC combined today, lead by 288 different tour guides speaking into multilingual audio feeds to explain as everyone was going to and passing on the same narrow cobblestone streets.
