just to let you know i'm thinking about you and hoping for a speedy recovery and discharge from the hospital.

I'm so happy to say that I received my check from Moecker. They have done and are doing a wonderful job keeping us informed of their progress in getting the money, that i never thought i would see, to all of us. This is a thankless job for them but I'm sure they're getting compensated for their work and diligence on this whole mess. by the wayk those stone crabs look fabulous to me. I've enjoyed them at Joe's the few times I've been in Miami. We just don't get them looking likke that in Scottsdale even though some restaurants have them once or twice a year.

kazu, how can i view the daily thread with roy's update?

omg roy. what are you doing in the hospital? how long will you be there? my best wishes and hopes for your speedy recovery.

thank you for your commentary on your final day daparting the ship. did you book any future cruises while you on board the rotterdam? do you have future cruise booked with any cruise line? i hope so because i really enjoy reading your adventures on these cruises and viewing your photographs. enjoy south florida for a few days.

safe and happy travels roy!

thanks for today's commentary, roy.. so i guess you have one more day at sea and then arrive in ft lauderdale on friday morning, right? when does the car train leave for maryland? safe travels and enjoy the ice creams.

thanks for the wonderful pictures going through the locks and your great explanation of what was happening. youl are really thorough in your knowledge of the locks. thanks again

I use a shoehorn everyday for no matter what type of shoe I'm wearing. I use the long type and did buy mine at amazon a long time ago. Its the only way to protect the heel of the shoe from collapsikng and lets me glide my foot into the shoe. its very comfortable. they are a necessary part of a man's ammenities like shaving mugs, shaving brushes and razors. Its nice to know the Crystal provides them on the ship. Now my duffle bag will have more room in it for other necessities.

roy, thanks for the commentary and the terrific pictrues. glad you are feeling better and are getting good use from the hot tub.

hope you're feeling better, roy, drink lots of water to keep hydrated. the dinner looked wonderful. rack of lamb is a favourite of mine too. enjoy the day. cheers

i received exactly one voucher that i expected. i booked five cruises and was able to use 1 credit for each cruise and i was made whole. i am very satisdied with their program and i think it's very generous of them to do it. i have not received any money from moecker and i don't expect any. i just want to enjoy my first cruise but it's not until may, 2024 so i have to wait awhile.

Bon Voyage and have lots of fun and make wonderful memories.

Very interesting. thanks for sharing with us. since i don't mingle with european royalty or aristocdracy, i wasn't familiar with this brnad! and i don't have a private jet nor a yacht.

Of course I know that Keith didn’t write it. I was just being funny about it so

Keith, your description of the cruises sound just like a travel brochure. do you write travel brochures on the side? the cruises sound fabulous but i could never leave my dog, Cooper, for such a long time. and i've already booked three short cruises for 2025!

Thank you for finishing up your journey. Glad you had nothing unexpected happen to you. it was wonderful reaiding your cruise impressions and seeing your wonderful photographs. I don't think you missed a thing for all of us to enjoy. Do you have another cruise or two to look forward to?

Thank you Roy for your last posting and I’m glad you had a nice day in Newport Rhode Island. You had a busy day I guess between the laundry and the packing and the walking around Newport and your lunch looked very very good on the F deck and I’m sure it was so thanks again for keeping us so well informed about your voyage and I hope you have a safe and interesting trip home tomorrow.

Thanks for your comment in the photograph Roy

Roy, Thanks for the update about New Brunswick. Youi haven't mentioned much about the beautiful fall colors. are ou seeing the fall colors and what do you think? Thanks for all your postings.

Thanks for the history of tiramisu. I love it:) Does Anne Marie make it often?

roy, thanks for your saturday comments. i've forgotten to mention this to you in the past, but the photos are perfectly clear on the cc posts but on your blog, the photos are blurred. would you have any idea why that' is happening? the food looks delivious. i love lamb chops and the roll looked very good too. sounds like your heading into some rough seas on sunday. hope you won't miss a meal...heh heh heh!

roy, thannks for the wonderful report from serentiy. your pictures of the food are fabulous. i could almost reach out and grab a tea cake and the short ribs looked great too. they are a favourite of mine. sounds like you are settling in very well. look forward to more of your posts.

I don’t know how I missed it but I reread your post and now I have the name of the restaurant. That sounds wonderful Archibald’s for French onion soup. Thank you.

did you have tradtional french onion soup? was it great? what was the name of the restaurant? was it easy to get to from the ship?
