If both names are on the broker account and each one is in a different cabin, several people have been able to get credit in both cabins. YMMV. If you are trying to do this, I would suggest that you put in the request on different days.

Today's Activities

This morning's pictures from the ship.

Both CM & MT simply list NYC as the destination. Cape Liberty was the listed destination when the itinerary was loaded. I don't remember anyone mentioning a change, or emailing me, and I don't get any updates from anywhere else.

These flights were booked directly with Delta. I generally only use Flight Ease for international flights, and those prices are definitely better. The Delta rep this morning was very nice and kept with it even though it took a while. On a side note, I came back to my cabin a few minutes ago to find a tray of Chocolate Covered Strawberries. The note said only 'With our sincere apologies -- Guest Services'. I guess this is for the excursion mix up.

I didn't post the menu last night, so here it is: Oct17.pdf And today's activities: Oct17.pdf

Views from the ship this morning sailing into Boston

The full saga of my flight problems has been figured out and I again have a flight from Fort Lauderdale to Atlanta after the cruise. All the problems can be traced to one person, and an incorrect decision by another. When I checked in and they took my luggage, they printed me a paper ticket. When we were boarding we had to show our passports, no problem it was an international flight. To speed things up a Delta Rep was checking passports before getting to the scanner to board. On mine he took a crayon type marker and marked OK in red, partially over the QR code needed to board. When mine wouldn't scan, the Delta Rep at the scanner looked at the pass and told me to board. I did and was seated, but the Delta Computer didn't show that I boarded. That was what caused my luggage to be removed from the plane, and the return ticket to be canceled. My return ticket has been reinstated and I actually have the same seat! At the moment I have been given a small credit, but no recognition of having taken the flight and no Sky Miles.

My saga of problems with this vacation continue. I have been trying to connect to Delta via the app or website for the last couple of days. When I have been able to, I couldn't find my flight out of Fort Lauderdale. Last night I found the confirmation number and tried using that. I found that the flight had been canceled. I am on hold with Delta right now and the first question the CSR asked was if I was on the flight to Montreal. She did confirm that the ticket was canceled. We'll just have to see what happens next.

Today is National Meatloaf Appreciation Day, No Beard Day, and Information Overload Awareness Day Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand.--Kurt Vonnegut Meal Suggestion for today - Arugula Pizza Drink of the Day - Key Lime Pie Martini Wine of the Day - Torre dei Beati Mazzamurello Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2017 Destination of the Day - Kirkwall, Scotland, United Kingdom Eurodam Manzanillo, MX Koningsdam At Sea Destination Vancouver, BC, Canada eta 10/18 Nieuw Amsterdam At Sea Destination Panama Canal eta 10/19 Nieuw Statendam Boston, Massachusetts 08:00 - 16:00 Noordam At Sea Destinatio Bora Bora, French Polynesia eta 10/23 Oosterdam Kefalonia Island, Argostoli-Fiskardo, Greece 10:00 - 18:00 Rotterdam Plymouth UK, England 08:00 - 17:00 Volendam At Sea Destination Corfu Island, Kerkyra, Greece eta 10/19 Zaandam Funchal, Madeira Island, Portugal 08:00 - 17:00 Zuiderdam At Sea Destination Apia, Western Samoa eta 10/20 Westerdam At Sea Destination Suva, Fuji eta 10/19

And I was trying to be careful to make sure I got it right.

Portland from the ship. Still a bit overcast at lunch

Some comments about yesterday. This must be my time to have problems. I signed up Saturday night for the excursion to the Moosehead Brewery. It was about 5:30pm when I signed up. The ticket said to be at the World Stage at 12:30 and the excursion would begin at 1:00pm. I waited at the World Stage until about 12:45 and then called the front desk. They contacted the excursion and I found out that the meeting had been changed to the terminal. I got to the terminal a minute or two before 1 to find the tour already gone. They did authorize a refund to my HIA, but that probably won't get used at this point. Trivia was interesting and a welcome diversion. One thing to note is that the bars have been out of several items this whole cruise. When we got on in Quebec City there was no Crown Royal (In Canada???). I have been drinking a dark rum until last night when they ran out of that. However, someone had purchased 1 bottle of Crown Royal for each bar. I'm not sure what will happen for the rest of the cruise. Last night was the Orange Party, held in the BB King Lounge. I arrived a couple minutes after it began and it was going strong. The BB King All Stars were performing and the crowd was responding. Several Officers and Staff were around and appeared to be having a good time. After a bit I moved to Billboard and enjoyed the piano performers for a while. We will go thru immigration shortly and then visit Portland.
