The Fleet Report and Daily for Friday May 19th, 2023
Cruisercl replied to richwmn's topic in Holland America Line
@superoma, I am so sorry about the passing of your father. The loss of a parent is difficult no matter their age. It appears he lived a nice long life, good for him and you. My prayers are with you, your family and all those who knew and loved him. May he RIP. Caron -

Good afternoon everyone, Not much going on this week for me, a couple of appointments but that's it. Low key week. We have had rainy and cold weather here in addition to major smokey skies from the Canada fires. Weather air alerts/warnings all week. @Crazy For Cats Bon Voyage!! @Horizon chaser 1957 welcome home, what a nice long trip! Can you tell me what tent catepillar nests are? They soundcreepy...😬 My thanks to all who contibute here each and every day; lots of contributors. I enjoy all of it. Take good care and have a great weekend! Caron- 99 replies

Yourcruise so far sounds wonderful, a nice combination, IMO, of busy at times and relaxing. Glad you are enjoying it. I have not been to Normandie, it is on my list. Your shore excursion yesterday, sounds great. I agree the big bus shore excursions tend not to be as good as a smaller group especially when it is a long day. Having to deal with a big crowd can be exhausting. How is your injured toe behaving? Continued fun on the next part of your cruise. 😊 Caron

Hi Everyone, Home from FL, took a fews days for a small getaway. Had fun but it was very hot; downside is that my flight was 6 hours delayed, got home at 1230 am this morning. Not fun hanging out in an airport as many of you know. Slept in this AM. Enough of me whining about that!😎 Continuing thanks to all of the Daily contributors. The Daily has a lighter tone today which IMO means things are improving for people having challenges; Yay! So glad to hear good news in these difficult and disheartening times. All of the other departments have had a good showing this past week...F&B, Comedy, Gardening, Care and Celebrations, general information givers etc. Prayers for all; for those who are struggling and in gratitude for the goodness we have in our lives and good news we've received. As a RN, I want to thank everyone who expressed their appreciation for nurses this week. 💓 Welcome home to @richwmn, (the Daily guru) and everyone who is returning home from a vacation or an obligation, it is always nice to sleep in ones own bed. Celebrations to those still cruising, cruising soon, on vacation, living life as you wish or just because you want to.😊 Thank you to @StLouisCruisers for the excellent job of filling in to post the Daily and Fleet report, while @richwmn was cruising the World. Greatly appreciated. Hope you all have a good and enjoyable weekend. Take good care, Caron- 95 replies

richwmn Goes around the world in a daze
Cruisercl replied to richwmn's topic in Holland America Line
Hi Rich, Welcome home...! Your live review was a job well done; I appreciate that you were reporting to us daily. Not always an easy feat on a cruise. I read all of it! Glad you enjoyed the cruise; enjoy FL before you head home to do laundry and get back to your real life.😊 Caron -

No kidding! One year when I was working in a hospital, we got mugs, paid for by the hospital and they had a raffle for 1 prize (can't remember what is was but nothing overly immprssive) for about 1500 nurses employed there. So I get what you mean. Kinda sad. Pizza for lunch paid for by the Nurse manager, not the Docs or the hospital. It does really go with the lack of respect for the profession, IMO. Hope you had a great day!!!- 88 replies

Hi everyone, Not much going on here. Spending a few days in FL for a small getaway. So far its been great. Much nicer weather than at home. Continued appreciation to everyone who contributes here daily; there are lots of them. I read daily and it is always entertaining and often I learn. Celebrating National Nurses and National Teachers week(s) ; have both in my family. All do a thankless but rewarding job, it is a calling IMO. 😊 Continued prayers for all. Take care all, be safe.

LIVE ALASKA NCL BLISS 04-22-2023 to 04-29-2023 Review
Cruisercl replied to graphicguy's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
That is exactly what it is. When I was on the Bliss last August, I had a positive OBC balance and was paid out before I left the ship at a little table on the side. Never had that happen before. They sent me to the table when I showed my card to leave the ship. -

LIVE ALASKA NCL BLISS 04-22-2023 to 04-29-2023 Review
Cruisercl replied to graphicguy's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Thanks @graphicguy for the fun review though I may be biased as the Bliss is my favorite NCL ship. It is good to know others, other than me, think that the Bliss has alot to offer and the whole experience is really good. (Maybe we should keep it a secret!!) Very happy you had a good time, which is most important. I would so do Bliss Alaska again in a nano-second! 😊 -

Hi Everyone, It is finally Friday at the end of a busy week. @marshhawk, I am so sorry about your little hunnybunny Irving moving on to the Rainbow Bridge. It is not easy, as you know. I cried for 5 years after my cat died. I also watch Death in Paradise and when Catherine mentioned watermelon curry I wondered what it was; have never heard of it! @durangoscots, I have been to KirKwall, Orkney on a cruise; what a great place to see the archeological sites.One time we couldn't go because the sea was too rough but made it in another time. I loved all of the history especially the ring of stones like Stonehenge but these were much older. Very facinating to me. If people go, I advise to take a tour of the whole island to see all of the sites. @Denise T, I went to the dentist too today; my least favorite thing to do. I am a big dentist baby. Came home with a headache for 3 hours, which always happens to me. Hope your dental work goes well and pain free. Bluberry pie is my favorite - had to throw that in here.😊 Thank you to the keepers of the lists; they continue to be stellar and the hard work of them is certainly noticed by all here. Love all of the comedy on this thread, it is great to have a good laugh a few times a day. Prayers for alll of us; extra prayers for those with health challenges this week. May you heal quickly and painfree. Very happy to hear from those cruising, that always perks up my day and then makes me jealous! Oh well my time will come soon enough. Take good care everyone and have a safe and restful weekend. Caron- 85 replies

LIVE ALASKA NCL BLISS 04-22-2023 to 04-29-2023 Review
Cruisercl replied to graphicguy's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Your intro to the Bliss is great! Brings back great memories from last months cruise. My input from my cruise, YMMV: the ruben sandwich at the Local was really good too the outside Cavern bar is very popular, the bartenders were awesome not a fan of Los Lobas either I am also Sapphire, I did not get a fruit bowl or a bottle of wine but could it be that you are in a club balcony? I was in a regular balcony. I am a bit biased, the Bliss is my favorite NCL ship. 😊 Have more fun, we are jealous! -

Safe travels @graphicguy! Following along, let the fun begin...😊🍻🛫 -
No Jamaica for us. It was scary with vendors aggressiveness as soon as we got off the ship. Any excursion taken we were warned about possible crime while on the excursion....not good IMHO. YMMV.

I have to share my Kindergarden story. I also went to Catholic grade school but it did not have Kindergarden so we all went to the public school for Kindergarden. My teacher was Miss Yilatolo, she was very pretty, that I remember. When we came back from Winter/Christmas holiday, she had gotten married so her name had changed. She had her husband visit her class not long after break had ended. We all started crying because we thought he was going to take her away from us! We loved her.... They both assured us that she would still be our teacher. 😊- 101 replies

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is having a good day. We are having weather that is just unacceptable! Summer, then Spring and then Winter all in one week...yuk! It is depressing because our Winter has been so long; snowing here tomorrow. Continued appreciation for all of the people who are daily contributors with great knowledge and things to enjoy. It is a gift, IMHO. @JazzyV thanks so much for the great job on the Care and Celebrations lists etc. You are a well organized person! Bon Voyage to you and have a great time on your vacation. 😊 @superoma thanks for volunteering to pick up the postings of the Care and Celebreations lists etc.! Love the trivia you posted, you will do great. @aliaschief just have to say...roasted grasshoppers...oh my no. Bleah!! We loved Hualtulco too. Prayers for all of us in this challenging world we now live in. Hope all on cruises now are having a great time even if just because you are on a cruise. 😎 Take good care all! Caron- 139 replies
