Safe travels 😄. Hope you avoid the storms that are plaguing some.

Thx. We'll find out soon enough ... just pulled out of the gate heading for the taxiway ... Florida here we come!. ✈️

We looked like drowned rats.  The guy we met in the lobby laughed his head off.  The weather report said rain in the afternoon.  Apparently the afternoon starts in the morning here in Fort Lauderdale.

Ugh. Sorry to hear of your unscheduled shower. Hopefully that's all the rain we'll all encounter on this adventure. 

Mrs. D & I are enroute to FLL through YYZ now. See you aboard tomorrow. 

Bon voyage !!! 🛳 ☀️

Inside, the border guard asked me about the trip ... He shook his head and remarked "Three weeks? That's a heck of a long time to spend with family!" 

Classic! 🤣

Bon voyage !!! 🛳☀️

Looking forward to boarding her upon her return to Port Everglades post Drydock.

@aliaschief, we ... the K’dam & P’dam ... will be together at HMC on Thu Dec 20.  I’m looking forward to this rare opportunity.

I ate the Yorkie bar, but would the extra large package of Maltesers work for you? I might be able to prise them out of Miss G's fingers if I wait till she's asleep. Otherwise, a bacon butty with chips on its way. Will that be HP or red sauce?

Maltesers will suffice in a pinch, thanks. And definitely brown sauce for the bacon butty w chips. 😋 

Way too too funny with the Little Old Lady, Pipe Man & Blanket Fort Man. And all on the one flight. 🤣

Can’t wait to hear how the weekend unfolds ahead of embarkation. If your luck holds you’re in for some more excitement!

Bonus for us!  I’m also trying to find out from my TA if I can use the ZPM code since we just came back from our cruise...not sure if it works for Canadians...hehe😊

Yes, the ZPM code works for us Canadians.

Omg....then I guess I don’t follow the rules. If they didn’t want me to email then I am sure they would not accept my request. So put me in Time-out...good grief...I was just answering a question. 

It’s okay @wyobean, I’m a rebel too. I assumed that the World Cruise Reservations document had old information, considering today’s high-speed connected pace, so I emailed my first-ever Shareholder OBC submission just last week. 

Took less than 10 min. to send & receive reply. No harm, no foul. 

My bad. I guess I’m in timeout with you. 😉

Holland was good to us, they kept our perks, moved us to the cabin with the humongous balcony, and wait, wait wait.  They gave us a refund of the difference between the price of the spa cabin and the new location.

Congrats on the positive stateroom category downgrade to a better one more to your liking. Nice to hear HAL was supportive with a fare difference refund, retained benefits, etc.  👍🏻

The Koningsdam LIVE thread has officially begun so that can only mean one thing.  I AM ON VACATION!!!  Today was my last day at work and I am doing my best to shed workaday concerns and flip the switch to holiday mode.

Considering I've had to pack for two very different climates and am carrying Christmas presents as well as the usual family supplies (chocolate, Yorkshire tea - the massive 1.5 kilo pack - more chocolate, cushions, Everton mints and just a bit more chocolate) that the Brit abroad can't live without, I was rather pleased the suitcase only weighed 25 kilos and even more so that apart from a "Heavy" sticker (on the bag), my luggage went through without further comment.

 

Time for a bacon butty whilst I continue to wait for my first flight to London. 

Safe travels @*Miss G* & @Divine Miss J  See you in Fort Lauderdale ... lets get this cruise party started! 🎉 

And welcome to CC, Divine Miss J. Don’t worry, we don’t believe everything Miss G says/writes about you. You’re amongst friends here.  Is it too late for me to place an order for an extra Bacon Butty Roll with Chips & a few Yorkie bars please?  🤤

So, who was first on board?

Hopefully it’s more civilized than this ...

Thanks @VMax1700 for keeping us informed. 

Sorry to hear of the disturbance, @Carol28.  Glad to hear HAL stepped up with some agreeable compensation for you.

Here’s hoping all goes well in drydock for K’dam.  We’re anxiousoy awaiting stepping aboard immediately following, her Mon 10-Dec-2018 cruise.

Thanks for the report.
