The Fleet Report and Daily for Tuesday April 23rd, 2024
bennybear replied to StLouisCruisers's topic in Holland America Line
@JazzyV so glad things went well! Wishing you continued improvement! I’m not sure why the sunsets are so amazing either. I’ve never seen such incredible colours. And we live by the Rockies, so they can be quite spectacular here too. We have a friend that was in the USN as well, who says you can’t beat a Kona sundown! That little spider was there for two months. He hardly moved and we tried hard not to disturb him or her. I loved the little face and the ziggy zaggy, lol! Here’s a few more, including a green flash which we see quite often but rarely capture on film. -

I see Debbie already answered you. Thanks for asking, it really helps keep things a bit shorter. The other trick is called multiquoting and you click on the little plus sign beside “quote”. Both really help those in the West read through more quickly and I really appreciate them. -

Good morning and thanks all! @StLouisCruisers thanks for stepping up to keep us going! @JazzyV prayers for a great outcome! @Cruzin Terri so sorry to hear you had to cancel, but sometimes the tough decision is the best decision. @Rowsby happy birthday! Just a FYI, we had a Novavax Covid booster and zero side effects! Felt like a miracle! We’ve visited Mykonos three times, but once we couldn’t tender in, and another time the ship was listing badly due to the meltemi winds.- 164 replies

Good morning and thanks all! A special thanks to @JazzyV for remembering our anniversary! What a surprise to see all the mentions! It is actually 51 this year, last year was the big one, but as it was just prior to my surgery we really didn’t celebrate until later. @cat shepard@StLouisCruisers @grapau27@smitty34877@Quartzsite Cruiser@Haljo1935@puppycanducruise@superoma@dfish@ottahand7 @RMLincoln@cunnorl@marshhawk@Nickelpenny@ger_77@DeniseT. Th aka for all the kind comments, so appreciated, hope I don’t miss anyone! Such great memes! Mr Bear says thanks, lol! Bon Voyage @kazu and @VMax1700 @sailingdutchyhappy birthday Tony! Kanazawa is a fabulous port, to visit the beautiful village in the mountains with the thatched roofs and for one of the top three gardens in Japan! We had a fabulous sendoff, the captain came and watched as well. IMG_1660.mov- 110 replies

The biennale is amazing and so worth visit, there are pavilions from different countries in the Biennale gardens as well as spread through out Venice. There are huge warehouses filled with art in Arsenale. Some private villas are open with exhibits. It will take several days to see most of it. A few photos from a few years ago.

Good morning barely, and thanks all! I do appreciate all the kind words yesterday and today @cat shepard and @RMLincoln Truly such a relief, I slept a long time! @cat shepard have been wondering how you and your sister are doing? We have loved everywhere we’ve visited in Japan, but haven’t been to Akita. @kazu Glad you made it safely, but really Air Canada? I know there’s a strike but surely….. hoping the foot, the internet and the flight are the three things that went wrong and you can now enjoy! wishing you all a joyful day!- 83 replies
