Thanks for the locations of the Holland America Line fleet, and all the daily information. Prayers 🙏 for the Care List and Cheers 🎉 for the Celebration List. And thank you all for caring and sharing. I have a post-op appointment this morning. I’ll be back later with an update.

Thanks for the inclusion on the Care List. From checkin to recovery it only took a bit more than 2 hours. Because I have a gas bubble in my eye, I need to keep my chin to my chest. If need be I can lift my head just a bit and look at the horizon but not up. Also cannot go higher in elevation than 2000 feet (so my Vegas trip is cancelled) and of course no flying. Home now. I set up the chair and the face support unit for the bed last night. Got the chair adjusted but might not need it during the day. Not sure about the bed. I may end up sleeping in the chair. Thanks again for all your prayers and well wishes. I’ll keep you posted.

Happy anniversary HAL! Good morning. Sorry I haven’t been here for a few months (or even Cruise Critic) since my cruise in Feb (great time). After the cruise I was home for 3 days then went on our annual camping trip to see (4 nights of) fireworks. Work (and life!) got crazy busy and I haven’t had time to even read the Daily/Fleet Report. Well, I’ll now have some time. I’m having eye surgery tomorrow and will need to keep my head face down (maybe at a certain angle?) for a week or 2 to keep the gas bubble in the correct place. I’ve rented some equipment (to help with this. Hopefully this will get me back in the habit to at least read the best thread on CC with the best folks around.

Is dry dock still scheduled? Cruises are still listed on the website.

Sorry, meant to post yesterday but forgot. Alarm was set for 3am, but too excited to sleep so I got up at 2am. Drive to airport was good (no traffic). Flight was a bit bumpy a few times but uneventful. Watched 2 movies (Ticket to Paradise, Shotgun Wedding) that were good. Got a Lyft to the hotel, checked in, got to the room, called DS to see where she was at. 7 min out! So I went downstairs to meet them. Got all their stuff to the room (we brought the WC @Cruzin Terri), relaxed a bit, then a simple dinner at the hotel. We were all tired so we’re in bed by 7:30pm. We’re all up now and getting ready. We have matching shirts for embarkation. 😉 Will have breakfast at the hotel then load up their truck to the cruise port. Thanks for the locations of the Holland America Line fleet, and all the daily information.Prayers for everyone who needs them. Cheers for all the celebrations.

Finally got a chance to sit down and take a break. Everything on my list is packed, plus some. 😆 Had to play Tetris to make it all fit and will end up checking 2 bags. Oh well, I’d rather pay the fee than wish I had brought something I “needed.” Ran several errands, made spaghetti (so DH has a few meals), and going to bed early so I can be up at 3am. 😴 Thank you all for caring and sharing. 🥰 Prayers 🙏 for everyone who needs them. Cheers 🥳 for all the celebrations.

Good morning Daily family. @StLouisCruisers Thanks for the locations of the Holland America Line fleet and all the daily information, and for keeping up our Care and Celebration lists. 😘 Well, I didn’t get as much done yesterday as planned. For some reason after my eye appt I was really tired so I took a nap. My eyes were dilated and cleared up just in time for my weekly babysitting time (I’m not going to say “duty” because any time with grandkids is a blessing 🥰). Afterwards the suitcases came out and I do have a packing list. Just need to get it in all in. 😜 Today is my last day of work. We’re babysitting tonight so DD and her DH can go to bible study. Then tomorrow is running last minute errands (have to be sure my DH has food in the house) and finish packing. I need to be finished early as I need to be up at 3am. Prayers for those the Care List and Cheers for the Celebration List. Thank you all for caring and sharing.

Someday. 😉

Rabbit, rabbit, white rabbit. I’ll be working a couple hours the morning, then I have an annual eye appt. Since my eyes will probably be dilated I took the rest of the day off. I have to start packing for my cruise. I fly to Miami on Saturday. I figure I need to be on the road by 4am. DH is driving the 1.5 hours to the airport then going home. Probably just in time to meet his biking group. Or maybe going back to bed. 😜 Thanks for the locations of the Holland America Line fleet, and all the daily information. It’s so wonderful that the Daily family cover each other so we have this thread that so many look forward to each day. 🥰 Thank you all for caring and sharing. Prayers 🙏 for everyone who needs them. Cheers 🎉 for all the celebrations.

Bon Voyage! 🙂

Fair winds and following seas. 🙂

Bon Voyage! 🙂

Just saw this. Isn’t he funny? 😀

Backyard squirrel maze 1.0 (he made 3 squirrel mazes). This is the same guy that made glitter bombs to catch porch pirates.

For those that did make it to GSC Jan 2023, what ship were you on and were other ships with you?

So this afternoon I was a bit frustrated and disappointed (I’m fine now). Got an email from NCL stating that our cruise on Feb 5 (NCL Encore) has a(nother) itinerary change: Our day at Great Stirrup Cay (one of their private islands) was changed to Nassau. ~Frustrated because NCL had changed our day there a few months ago, from Monday (we would be the only ship) to Saturday along with their newest ship Prima. ~Disappointed because we were sharing an Ocean Villa with friends and we’re looking forward to our own special private space. C'est la vie. So I think we (mom, sis, and her DH) will stay on the ship and just relax and pack since it will be our last day. I think our friends are doing the same. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for the Celebration List. Thank you all for caring and sharing. Stay safe and healthy everyone.

Thanks for the locations of the Holland America Line fleet, and all the daily information. Prayers for everyone who needs them. Cheers for all the celebrations. Friends and I are playing bingo at the “local” (more than an hour away) casino today. We haven’t played in a few months, and I haven’t seen one friend since Covid started. We were worried about the rain but it’s on pause today. We also check road conditions and it’s clear. Thank you all for caring and sharing.

Yippee! 👏🙂

Have you seen “Crusoe the Celebrity Dachshund?” I’m always amazed that the 3 dogs seem to enjoy the costumes for their video skits. We had a Doberman that we would take camping with us. Once when it was cold weather camping (I think we were at Bryce?) I put a sweatshirt on the “princess” with her front legs through the sleeves and rolled up a bit. She just stood there and hung her head like she was so embarrassed. She looked at DH and asked (I do animal translations 😆) “Daddy, do I HAVE to were this?” “Well, your mother put it on you, so I guess so.” Princess was good and didn’t try to take it off. The booties were a different story.

Thank you all for caring and sharing. Prayers 🙏 for everyone who needs them. Cheers 🎉 for all the celebrations. I bought AirTag holders (the AirTags are so small I want to locate them easier) and then put the AirTag in a suitcase pocket. Never on the outside.
