Bon voyage!

Thanks for your reporting. I've never been to these ports and hope to someday, God willing. I appreciate your information and am very grateful to learn more about spots to visit.

My clothes generally do not have pockets for pens or gloves. I respectfully refuse to sign anything at the bar. Not a big deal.

I love a lanai cabin. Quick access to the promenade. But, be careful. Check the deck plan. Some of the cabins are under the kitchen galley. That's a guarantee for a miserable night's sleep.

I love that ship. We've had three cruises with her in the past 2 years. The Dutch Cafe and deck 10 lounges and bar are my favorites in the fleet. Od course, I always said the Maasdam was my favorite Then Rotterdam. Fickle I guess. Have fun!

Really glad for your postings. Thank you. Bon Voyage and all life's blessings on your journey!

Not at all

I keep a pen on me at all times to avoid cooties.

Thank you for this thread. It takes a certain amount of effort, and money, to post and I am one of many who appreciate it.

Your remark of dead cow hit my funny bone. Sorry all you vegans. Of course, I can't eat rabbit. They are way too cute.

Thank you from me, too. The trip to the Canary Islands and Azores was a personal favorite for us, so you bring back fond memories. We found the mountains in the Canary Islands to be breathtaking when we toured and that left a lasting impression.

My diet consists mostly of fish and when we sailed for a few weeks last winter, I found the fish to be very good. And I am picky about the freshness quality of fish. Personally, I find if I freeze fish for a week or two, it has very little effect on the overall taste.

I'm getting them but, frankly, I'm thrilled with the attention. Lol.

I consider lunch in the Pinnacle to be a very special occasion. The filet with creamed spinach and mashed potatoes are really something I'm not having on a regular basis where I live. Bring it on. I will happily leave my coveted lounge chair and book to enjoy a very fun lunch complete with a great glass of wine.

This is all heartbreaking and so miserable. Oh, to wait for peace. We pray.
