Thanks for all the daily information and the locations of the Holland America Line Fleet. From our living room we have just watched the Grand Princess sailing south towards Fiordland.

@Copper10-8 John, Thank you for taking time to write a "live from" thread. Wishing you both a wonderful cruise.

It can be dangerous to leave trays on the floor of hallways. During out last cruise (before covid) one evening I was walking back to our stateroom when the resuscitation team came running along the hallway pushing the resuscitation trolley. I stood aside in a doorway to let them pass., and indicated to another passenger to stand back to let the team quickly pass by.

NA tomorrow. Cheers everyone.

Only 1 toot!
