Wonderful news! Prayers work and are continuing for your DH and his medical team, and you. 🙏🙏

Ah, I see that alot of you reported about Israel/Nieuw Statendam while I was composing my post. 😉

Thank you for the FR&D. @richwmn the Nieuw Statendam has a change in itinerary: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2967636-nieuw-statendam-israel-war-breaking-out/ DH came home early from camping. Too cold and the fishing was terrible. So I made one of our camping breakfasts this morning to perk him up: French toast and corned beef hash. @kazu @St Pete Cruiser @0106 Bon Voyage! ⛴️ Thank you all for caring and sharing. Prayers for everyone who needs them. Cheers for all the celebrations.

Again? I just updated to 16.7 this week. Pretty! 🙂

@Crew News

Your opinion: I am flying non-stop LAX-MIA the day before embarkation. Flight is on a Saturday in December. I think I’m the first flight out at 6am. (The hardest thing will be telling DH I need to be at the airport by 4am. 😳) I think I’ll be OK especially since it’s non-stop, but I still have time to change plans. What do y’all think?

I’ve used my TA for years and have always got my shareholder OBC.

I may have some HAL stationery. 😉 I also remember the Dutch hats, white for women and blue (different shape) for men. But I was never lucky to have mine painted/decorated.

Bon Voyage! 🙂

Unfortunately it happens almost very year. It’s frustrating. 😡 So much work/time goes into preparing for a shutdown. Not to mention the anxiety about not getting paid on paydays (we eventually get back pay). We may get to do this again in 45 days if they don’t pass a budget. 🙄 Congress should have their paychecks stopped if the budget isn’t passed. Then let’s see if this ever happens. (Sorry if this is too political. I understand if this post gets deleted.)

Beautiful!

Good morning. Work was busy yesterday getting ready for the potential (probably gonna happen) shutdown. 😳😡 Then a nail appt and babysitting the grands. I tried reading when I could but I just got done reading yesterday’s Fleet Report and Daily. Today’s agenda is much quieter. Just a phone call with sis to discuss our Dec cruise, and I volunteer at church again this weekend. Thank you for the HAL fleet report and all the daily information. Thank you all for caring and sharing. Prayers 🙏 for everyone who needs them. Cheers 🎉 for all the celebrations. Now back to the top. 😉

Safe travels home. Prayers for continued healing. 🙏

Prayers for both you and your DH. 🙏🙏🙏

Bon Voyage @rafinmd!

Beautiful! 🙂

Always keep your phone in airplane mode while on the ship or you’ll come home to a large $$ phone bill. Turn on WiFi to access the ship’s (free) inTRAnet to use the Navigator app. To use inTERnet you must log in to the WiFi pkg. If you only have minutes (not an unlimited pkg) you must log out or your minutes will be eaten up quickly. As mentioned only one device at a time per package. I had no problems switching between my iphone and iPad. And I did it frequently. 😉 BTW if you have iPhones you can use iMessenger. It works iPhone to iPhone, both on the ship and to folks on land. Text only, no pictures. (You need the inTRAnet for this.)

Safe travels @Quartzsite Cruiser and prayers 🙏 for Steve and his medical team.

😢 May he rest in peace. Prayers for his family and friends. 🙏

Bon Voyage! 🙂
