Always good to view the HAL Fleet locations, thank you @kazu and for the opportunity for dailyites to share their daily news. @rafinmd Roy, thanks for posting the fleet location maps Kiwifruit are an excellent source of Vitamin C, at present the Red variety are available, as well as the gold and the green, new season fruit just arrived in stores. We eat Kiwifruit every day. On Noordam, after the first morning, the waiters in the Pinnacle Grill knew that Kiwi would be requested for breakfast each day. Have been to Galway twice, enjoyed driving around, exploring the beautiy of Ireland. Such friendly people. Best wishes to all on the Care list. @Vict0riann Bon Voyage.

Am very late posting today. Thanks for the HAL Fleet locations and the daily news. We delivered Meals On Wheels this morning, then headed out for lunch. This afternoon had to have a blood test prior to CT scan next month. @smitty34877 thank you for your update of Tana's condition, pleased that she was able to make her wishes known, hugs to you, hope you all get a good sleep tonight. @Nickelpenny congratulations on becoming 4 star. Seems obvious that @grapau27 they are cruising.but not on HAL!! Horrible earthquake in Taiwan, seeing the TV reports brought back memories of the Christchurch Earthquakes, and how our cat at that time woke us just before the first quake began.

@bennybear those chocolates look and sound delicious. @Quartzsite Cruiser travel safely. @ger_77 thank you for sharing your Easter Sunday day with us, you are a wonderful caring person, Ollie will always appreciate how you helped her and Gord. Sending our Sincere sympathy. @RMLincoln such good news about Richard's eye. @marshhawk pleased that you have a good plan after your dental visit. @aliaschief really enjoying your cruising reports and superb photos, please continue. You are a very important contributor to the HAL boards.

Thank for posting the locations of the HAL Fleet, and the daily. A couple of comments about the Noordam, the night lights are such a good idea in the main room, the dressing area and the bathroom. Appreciated the library, including the Book Exchange shelf. Also the books in the Neptune lounge drawers, where I found a Ruth Rendall that we had not previously read. Will read all the posts later,

Am pleased that the Noordam will be going to dry dock later this year, we sailed on her for 30 days, disembarking on March 23rd . On several occasions there were buckets in hallways to collect dripping water. One morning entered the Neptune Lounge to see 6 (Six) buckets to catch drips from above. Later in the cruise water was dripping in the hallway near our stateroom, at one stage water slowly running down the artwork on the wall. Problems appeared to be dealt with promptly.

@RedneckBob will be interested to read that tomorrow.

Bon Voyage Everyone!

Rabbits, Rabbits, White Rabbits, on this the first morning of April 2024. Thank you for the HAL Fleet report and Daily. Will read all the posts later.

That is it for me. Thanks everyone for the rapid sailaway.

On our recent cruise on Noordam, Captain Zoll used the horn at every opportunity.

Good toots. Long and then some shorts! And more!
