Gotta disengage, Good Friday Service. Roy

I think coverage is still better on the first webcam and the ship will zigzag out of view from the Harbor webcam but then should be followed right to the bridge. Roy

Great coverage so far. Roy

And she's moving. Roy

It was in the "Going Ashore" section of the Daily Program. (Post # 304} Roy

@grapau27 I see you noticed that I posted your video over on the Crystal Forum. The tradition there is that there was not a lot of hype on sailaways when we left a port but "What A Wonderful World" was always played over the PA system as we left a port, so it is very special to Crystal cruisers. Roy

Something I feel a need to share from the HAL forum. You may be a bit surprised if you click on the video,

At least if you're back early you won't be left behind. Roy

Today's sunrise is from my 2014 MS Amsterdam voyage returning to Fort Lauderdale after disembarking Crystal Serenity in Cape Town. April 7 was a sea day from Walvis Bay to St. Helena: Roy

Rotterdam is in New York today until (4PM) @Vict0riann just posted the ship's program and All Aboard is 5PM so departure should be around 5:30. It is currently centered on the Port of New York webcam: https://www.portnywebcam.com/ When she leaves the camera MAY follow her down the Hudson. She will then pass into the view of the other New York Webcam based on Staten Island: https://www.nyharborwebcam.com/ Roy

TGIF and I expect most of us will be celebrating Good Friday, Passover, or Ramadan. I'll pass on the other 3 days but celebrate Bach and love the quote. I've been to Saint John a few times. It's also the Orioles Home Opener and a celebration of the opening of Baltimore's new arena. The home opener was supposed to be yesterday but postponed due to expected storms which probably would have held off until after the game (forecast for 2PM but actually did not happen until almost 7). Today will be calm but with a high of about 60. I'll pass on the Swordfish. My alternative is Chilled Peach and Ginger Soup, Rustic Home Made Lasagna, and Peach Crisp as served on MS Zaandam April 6, 2017: Roy

I mentioned earlier that the Elegant Explorer is in Baltimore today. There are not a lot of good viewing spots but I did find one at Masonville Cove Environmental Education Center. It's not easy to get and I found an easier one on the way home but the sight lines are quite good: The weather so far has been very good but storms are expected any time now, Looks like better than New York but at least the Rotterdam is still there tomorrow.

Today's sunrise is another from my 2013 Queen Elizabeth transatlantic. April 6 was the last sea day before reaching Southampton. Roy

Bon Voyage! Roy

Thank you Rich, Sandi, Vanessa, Debbie,Ann, and Dixie. Great to see Rotterdam in New York. Amera is in Baltimore today and I may try to grab a peek. I am way behind in my walking ever since my hospital visit. Poppies are beautiful and I love tartan with my Scottish heritage but do not have much. I love the quote and have been to Grand Cayman several times. There will be thunderstorms this afternoon but they should end before I head for Maundy Thursday service this evening I like pork but probably not stir fry.. My alternative is Chilled Coconut Nutmeg Soup, New York Sirloin Steak, and Tiramisu as served on MS Amsterdam April 6, 2014. Roy

You're almost there: Roy

Are you going to Manhattan or Brooklyn? Roy

Today's sunrise is from my first (2003) attempt at a trip around the world without flying. It was taken April 5, 2003 on the DFDS Seaways ferry Princess of Scandanavia going from Newcastle to Gothenburg, Roy

Happy Hump Day. Thank you Rich, Sandi, Vanessa, Debbie, Dixie, and Ann. I have updated my list of Daily milestones to add April 1 as the premier of "This Day in History. I believe it's also the first full day of Passover. I think I'll pass on the days today as well as the tofu, I prefer Sandi's version of the quote. I've been to Barbados many times as ports of call as well as disembarking there from Windstar Ttansatlantics, My alternative menu suggestion is Chilled Blueberry Soup, Sauteed Pork Chop, and Viennese Apple Strudel as served on MS Zaandam April 5, 2017: Roy

Today's sunrise is from my 2017 Zaandam cruise from Buenos Aires to San Diego. On April 4 Zaandam visited Valparaiso, Chile: This may have been HAL's last call at Valparaiso as since then they've been going to San Antonio instead. Roy
