I see you. Got a recon team assigned to your movements! Did you notice those guys next to you last night at Sonny’s BBQ? 😎

Those are some yummy looking chops. Thanks.

Good morning! Thanks for the birthday wishes. I made it to 77!👏🏻👏🏻 🙏 Another day in the seventies and probably another record temp. Have my annual eye exam this morning and nothing else on the agenda. Well I’m looking forward to the cold water lobsters we ordered. Hope they arrive. We have been to today’s port of call several times and always enjoy their wonderful welcome. Time to think about another Fall repositioning cruise and more lobster and fresh fat belly clams! So back to finishing my coffee, morning devotional and prayers. Feeling very Blessed to have had so many wonderful years on this planet called earth! @RedneckBobThis is the second time you have caused a jump start to your birthday celebration. Just give us a day and we will add it to our calendars.🤔

And there you go with all the time and work on this post which is a recipe for no sleep! ❤️ Thanks for all your loyalty and contributions to the Daily.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Terri, You always get requested prayers on the Daily along with hugs and support.❤️

Prayers for you my friend Jane. Thanks for letting us know and please keep us apprised. We are available for rants and support.❤️

Very nice.

Good to know. Thanks.

Hint. Being the Editor of the Daily is a high pressure job. You need another relaxing, quiet cruise and lot’s of 🍷.😊

My question on the forward Club Ocean Suites is how useable are the balconies with wind coming at you from ships speed or natural winds or combination? How noisy are anchor settings?

Glad to hear you’re being followed. Was this caused from your fall?

I believe there would be enough wax leftovers to wax the car! Probably no cake as we will be stuffed with our Maine or Canada lobsters.😊

Bob it would be a challenge!

That is what we have experienced on our longer cruises.

No problem sleeping here. Just woke up and enjoying my first cup of coffee and reading the Daily. Watching weather report last night and we had around 16 days in February that had record high temperatures. Maybe another one today as we are already at seventy degrees Fahrenheit. At some point I need to take some time out from my tremendously busy schedule to get a haircut. If I could just wean myself off from perusing Cruise Critic I could possibly find some time. Tomorrow is my annual optometry appointment and I have no clue why I scheduled it on what will be my birthday? We have two large Maine lobsters ordered which will be my celebration dinner. I do think tomorrow’s optometry appointment will show it’s time for cataracts to be removed. Thanks for all the reports and post. Have a great day. Bruce

We have done six repositioning cruise from Canada to Florida and one from Fla to Montreal and yes we have experienced some rough seas on a few of them. Keep in mind that Fall cruises can also experience hurricanes. One year, the old Maasdam was affected by an early rare spring storm on it’s repositioning from Florida to Canada. One never knows or can predict rough weather and seas.

Sorry for your loss. Always is a sad day.

In 2017 while cruising around the Polar Ice Cap on the MS Prisendam we came across these two well sated Polar Bears who had been dining on a beached whale! Fellow cruiser took this picture.

Good morning. Slept until 7:30 Central. It’s already sunny and seventy degrees. Azaleas are almost full bloom, Amaryllis are booming as well as other flowering shrubs and trees. Feeling like spring but still waiting for the long leaf pines to spread yellow pollen all over the area. It’s laundry day but just one load of clothes as I did bulky towels and other items yesterday. We watched a movie last night starring Dustin Hoffman and Sissy Spacek in Sam & Kate. Turns out Sam’s son in movie is Dustin’s real son and Sissy’s Daughter in the movie is Sissy’s actual daughter. Dustin is now 85 years old and Sissy is 73. One more coffee and it’s time to get moving. Thanks for the Fleet Report and postings. Have a great week. Bruce

Totally agree with @kazu if you know what table is yours just go to it.

Good morning. Slept late then it was a rush preparing for church services. At least I had my priorities in the right order. Beautiful sunny day with temps hovering in the mid seventies. We had our neighborhood couple over for dinner last night for a nice Italian themed dinner of raviolis in a garlic cream sauce and cannoli’s for desert. Wonderful fellowship. Maybe later we’ll put the top down on the Spyder and go for a ride enjoying this beautiful day. Maybe watch NASCAR race if the weather in California allows. Thanks for all who contribute to our Daily. Have a great week. Bruce

One industry that really took a hit during the Pandemic was the private tour industry. Hopefully, it will gradually recover to what our experiences were before Covid. My thoughts is that has also affected cruise line excursions. Do hope the post pandemic recovery does bring back enlightening, vibrant and knowledgeable excursions and invigorating adventures. Patience prevails but our time is limited by age.

Bon Voyage! Thanks for sharing your cruise experience.

It was fun watching you sailing away. Have a great time. Bon Voyage!
