@ger_77 I have noticed it but it's hitting you a lot faster than probably any other dailyite except likely @grapau27. Roy

@kazu I wish Cruise Critic would allow me to add both "Like" and "Thanks" but I had to just choose one. Roy

Thank you for the Monday report, Rich. I'll certainly celebrate Encouragement but pass on the other 2 days.

Thank you. I wish you healing. Roy

It is 10:28, time of the collapse of the North Tower. The last of the primary events of the day but the aftermath continues to this day. Roy

It is now 10:03. At this time the brave passengers and crew of UA 93 overwhelmed their highjackers and the plane crashed in Somerset County PA. Roy

It is now 9:59AM. At this time 21 years ago the South Tower collapsed: Roy

It is now 9:37AM. At this time AA 77 struck the Pentagon. This hit me particularly hard because I was only about 30 miles away. Roy

Oops! Posted this to the wrong thread:

I was at the office on 9/11/01. My colleague at the next desk had a family member at the WTC and we heard about a plane striking the tower but assumed it was a light aircraft (her family member was ok). It is now 9:03AM when the second tower was struck and we then knew it was more than an accident. Roy

Wishing you a safe and stress free trip. Roy

It's now 8:46AM. At this time, 21 years ago, the North Tower was struck and out national nightmare began. Roy

Today's sunrise is from my 2016 Crystal Serenity Northwest Passage voyage. On September 11 we were at sea between Nuuk and Bar Harbor, sailing between Newfoundland and Labrador. Roy

Thank you for the September 11 Report, Rich. Great days with a special salute to Grandparents. Not sure what to make of the quote. I don't think I have been to Brest. The meal sounds interesting. I'll have the regular lists later. This is my special annual list for September 11: In memory of: Firefighter Keven O’Rourke, FDNY PANYNJ Police Officer Bruce Reynolds–Officer Reynolds was on patrol on the George Washington Bridge and diverted to the World Trade Center where he perished in the Collapse of the South Tower Captain John Ogonowski, AA 11, World Trade Center Captain Victor Saracini, UA 175, W/orld Trade Center Captain Jason Dahl, UA 93, Shanksville, PA Captain Charles Burlingame, AA 77.

Rotterdam may be slightly different. Lifeboat mounts have been modified somewhat to allow transits of the Panama Canal which MAY have slightly narrowed certain points next to the lifeboats. I think we would have heard a lot if there was a big difference and I've been looking but not seen anything. I have done mass group walks on both Koningsdam and Nieuw Statendam with no issues completing the walk. Roy

Sometimes the sun really tries to play hide and seek and this one is very much a case in point. It's from a 2012 Crystal Symphony transatlantic and September 10 was a sea day between Dover and Reykjavik: Roy

Most of that ceremony was actually shown live on our 5AM news today. Roy
