Thank you Rich, Jacqui, Vanessa, Eva, Paul, and Laura. Bon Voyage @cat shepard and @Nickelpenny. Welcome home @summer slope, @Sharon in AZ, @Quartzsite Cruiser and @dfish. I'll pass on the crab race, do things my way, and enjoy digital tv although reception is a bit iffy in my area and sometimes I'll get a show on one tv but not another. The quote is classic Eastwood. I'll celebrate the 20th century days in history but not so much the 19th. I have not been to Otaru. I'll pass on the meal. My alternative is Roasted and Raw Carrot Salad, Oven Roasted Chicken, and Raspberry Tart as served on MS Prinsendam February 17, 2019: Nice to have 2 BHB in South Florida on 2 consecutive days, Nieuw Amsterdam in Port Everglades and Zaandam in Miami: Roy

One potential pitfall for those who prefer a tub and looking at Pinnacle Class. There are some "Family Oceanview Cabins" on deck 1 that have a "tub" in one of 2 bathrooms but it's so small it's pretty close to useless. https://halfacts.com/pinnacle-class/1021-nieuw-statendam/ Roy

Welcome to the Crystal Forum. Roy

I assume so. They may be off CC temporarily for a few days for some comments they made on a tipping thread. Roy

Thanks Leanne, Dave, and fellow addicts. I'll try to go over to Key West around 5 for Zaandam. Roy

No toots from Rotterdam either? Roy

Still backing up? Roy

Thank you Rich, Jacqui, Vanessa, Ann, Paul, and Eva. I'll pass on the Fish Fry but celebrate the other two days, and had not previously heard of Elizabeth Peratrovich. The Hackett quote was not the situation when I grew up. I don't think Ive been to Rockland. It's interesting that we've had significent February 16 events in 4 of the last 5 centuries. Was the 18th century really that dull. I'll pass on the meal. My alternative is Chilled Anjou Pear Soup, Honeydew Melon and Papaya and Surf and Turf (just the turf) as served on MS Zaandam February 16, 2012. Nice to have BHB in 2 South Florida ports today, and again tomoreow. Rotterdam in Fort Lauderdale: And Zaandam in Key West: And tomorrow Nieuw Amsterdam in Port Everglades and Zaandam in Miami. Roy

Thank you Rich, Jacqui, Vanessa, Ann/Laurie (hope I got that right), Eva, and Paul. Thank you to Graham for explaining 2 of the days which left me mystified although I will gladly second Childhood Cancer Awareness. The Hunger games quote does not really do much for me. Bon Voyage @MISTER 67. I've been to Lisbon many times for embarkation, disembarkation, and even as a port of call. A sad day in ancient history but two very nice recent days. I'm a bit of a youtube junkie. I'll pass on the meal. My alternative is Mixed Seasonal Greens, Broiled New York Strip Loin, and Mango Blueberry Crisp as served on MS Prinsendam February 15, 2019: Just realized this is also Hump Day for February. Roy

@ottahand7 and Eurodam arriving in Nassau: Roy

Note: per @ottahand7 Eurodam is in Nassau today and HMC the last day of the cruise rather than Key West. Roy

Wishing all who celebrate it a great Ash Wednesdan and welcome to Lent. Special hugs to Jane @lazey1. Happy Birthday @superoma twins and Lorenzo. Thank you Rich, Jacqui, Vanessa, Eva, Ann, and Paul and thank you @Lcubed Laura for stepping up to cover Ann's cruise. Bon Voyage @Mr. Boston. Congenital Heart Defect Day and Frederick Douglas days are both worthy of celebration. The Styron quote is interesting. I wonder if Bell ever expected the volume of robocalls we would get today. I've been trough Barra Norte Sea but do not remember it. I'll pass on the meal. My alternative is Chilled Strawberry Bisque, Citrus Compote with Honey and Raisins, Veal Medallion with Creamy Porcini Sauce, and Cherry Crisp as served on MS Zaandam February 14, 2012. The Podiatrist visit went well. He put a cushion in the shoes I wore and it felt good but I only wear real shoes when I'm away from home. Since I got back I've had no specific cushions but no real issues. Things are almost completely healed finally. This is from my last major trip with my brother in 2018: Roy
