Mr. Boston

I thought that we may have lucked out as well but upon reviewing our statement the corking fee showed up two days after embarking as a main dining room charge.

Bon voyage and safe travels!

Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit. Thanks for the daily updates. Another cold start today, I think it will warm up by the time I join some former colleagues for lunch today. Remember these that would hang on your door at nap time? Endometriosis awareness is very important as many women suffer from it. I’ll celebrate peanut butter today by eating some peanut butter cookies. I like today’s quote very much. I’ll pass on today’s meal suggestion as we’ll be having borscht and shrimp cocktail for dinner. Not sure about today’s cocktail. We were in today’s port in September, it was beautiful, hot and very crowded. Prayers for those on our prayer list today. Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events and happy birthday to @aliaschief!

Good morning everyone and happy Leap Day! It’s sunny, breezy and cold (27F) here in Boston. I think I’ll celebrate toast day but not with a breakfast martini. I like David Bowie’s quote. The meal suggestion sounds delicious, I think it was one of the Club Orange selections on my Rotterdam cruise. I have not been to today’s port. Prayers for those on our prayer list and for those who need them. Cheers to those of you who are celebrating happy events!

I’m loving your review so far. We were on the same cruise and your photos of the Retreat featured ours, #3. It totally made our cruise. When we first booked in October, they were all sold out. I called every three weeks or so until finally #3 became available. I think I would have hated this cruise if I had to outsmart the chair hogs every day. By the way, I’m originally from Northern Michigan.

Oh how I love Walleye!

Good morning everyone from a mild, rainy Boston. Thanks for the recipes and lists. Nice days to celebrate, thanks @grapau27 for explaining them. I think I’ll inconvenience myself today and return my library books. I love the quote. While the meal sounds nice it’s leftover pork and fennel stew niçoise tonight. I made Monday’s meal suggestion yesterday and it was outstanding. The drink sounds like a refreshing summer beverage. I haven’t been to today’s port. Prayers for those on today’s prayer list. Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events today; happy anniversary to @superoma! 🍾

We purchased two of the wedge shaped ones onboard the Rotterdam last week, 2 for $30. They’re very nice.

Good morning everyone from a sunny and mild Boston. Long flight yesterday as we connected through Detroit but we (and our bags) made it in one piece. Thanks for the daily report recipes and lists. Our sense of smell is very important as many of us who lost it during Covid can attest. Majestic Polar Bears are under stress from loss of habitat. I like Kahlua, maybe a splash in my coffee would make me forget that vacation is over! The quote by Mr. Twain is one I’ve tried to live by, surround yourself by those who will help build you up. I think I’ll forgo today’s meal suggestion for yesterday’s pork and fennel stew Provençal. The drink could be interesting. I haven’t been to today’s port. Prayers for those on today’s prayer list, I’m glad to hear that @summer slope’s Mohs procedure went well yesterday. Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events today! 🍾

Good morning everyone from sunny Ft. Lauderdale. We disembarked Rotterdam yesterday and spent last night at the Riverside Hotel as airfares were much less expensive today. Rotterdam was a lovely ship with a few misses for us the main one being the smoking in the casino that permeated a lot of the surrounding areas on decks 3 and 2. Didn’t care for the promenade and the elevator wait times were a lot longer than we’ve experienced on other HAL ships. First world problems for sure. Thanks for today’s daily report, recipes and lists. Nice days to celebrate today, we should always try and carpe diem if possible. The complete quote is very true, friendship does and give life color/colour. The meal suggestion sounds tasty but even if the drink were I’ll skip it due to its name. I haven’t been to today’s port. Prayers for those on our prayer list. Cheers to everyone celebrating happy events!

Good morning everyone from the sunny Caribbean as we steam towards Half Moon Cay. Today is DH’s birthday and we’ll finally get to dine in Rudi’s Sel de Mer, no cookies for me! Thanks for the daily report, recipes and lists. Two great days to celebrate and one necessary evil. Curling is cool, that’s a fact and where would we be without diesel engines. I got to witness an old man bully this morning berating a barista because he didn’t hear his name called when his coffee was ready all the while scolding with his mouth full of food, disgusting behavior and manners. Nice quote but he left out death and taxes! The drink sounds like something I’d have at Halloween. I haven’t been to today’s port. Prayers for those on our prayer list today, maybe one for the nasty old man so that he’ll change his ways. Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events today! Happy birthday @lindaler ! 🥂

Good morning everyone from the Caribbean Sea. The ocean is smooth today, I thought we were crawling until I looked out and saw that we are moving at a good clip. Today will be a lazy day in our cabana reading and relaxing. Thanks for the daily report. Not sure how you’re supposed to celebrate 222 and spit out so I’ll just try to be humble. Two interesting quotes to ponder this morning. Think I’ll pass on the meal, I always find lettuce wraps messy and not worth the effort. Maybe on the drink. I have not been to today’s port but am enjoying all the photos, thanks for sharing. Prayers for those on our prayer list and for those who need them. Cheers to everyone celebrating happy events!

Good morning everyone from sunny Aruba. Our plans are to visit the butterfly farm, DH has to avoid getting sun so Eagle Beach is out, sadly. The times of our visits to the ports has been altered somewhat but it’s all good in the end. Thanks for the daily report, an interesting collection of days to celebrate today, think I’ll skip card reading day though. The quote is funny. I think I’ll pass on the meal but say yes to the drink suggestion. I haven’t been to the port. Prayers for those on our prayer list and to those who need them. Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events today! 🥂

We stopped in to listen for a bit last evening and she was fantastic. Will definitely be spending some time there.

Good afternoon everyone from the Rotterdam somewhere in the Caribbean. A very nice ship that we are still getting to know. We’ve been enjoying Club Orange so far. Today we are relaxing in our Retreat Cabana that we were lucky enough to snag at the last minute. Thanks for the daily updates. I will celebrate the opposite day today, from digital to analog. After experiencing a lifetime of going digital I prefer analog. The meal and drink suggestions sound good. I have not been to today’s port. Praying for those on our prayer list. Cheers to those of you who are celebrating happy events! Bon voyage to @Nickelpennyand @cat shepard!

Good afternoon everyone from sunny Ft. Lauderdale. Thanks for the daily report, recipes and lists. Enjoying our extra vacation day this Fat Tuesday on the beach at Lago Mar Resort and I did have ice cream to celebrate. I like being imperfect and am glad there are no rewrites. The meal and drink suggestions sound like good choices to me. I haven’t been to today’s port. Prayers for everyone on the prayer list. Cheers to those celebrating happy events! Thanks for all the well wishes yesterday, they worked and we traveled uneventfully.

Good morning everyone. Thanks for the daily report, recipes and lists. Happy Birthday to Abraham Lincoln. Hugs are a good thing any day. Interesting quote. Yes to the meal and drink suggestions as long as it’s a gin martini. I haven’t been to today’s port. We’re heading out for Ft. Lauderdale at lunchtime ahead of the storm tomorrow. Prayers for those on today’s prayer list. Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events today like @MISTER 67, happy birthday! 🎂🎉🥂

Good afternoon everyone. I’m late to the daily today with a good excuse. We were supposed to fly to Ft. Lauderdale on Tuesday morning at 7:30am, right in the middle of one of our only snow storms this winter. After mass this morning DH made the comment that maybe we should try to leave tomorrow instead. After a call to the airline and hotel we were successful and that’s been today. We were in pretty good shape as far as packing was concerned so now we’ve gone from 45rpms to 78! A good collection of days and quote. The meal sounds like a great Superbowl snack. We were in today’s port last September, I’ll try posting some pics. It was beautiful and very crowded. Prayers for those on our prayer list today. Cheers to those celebrating happy events!

Good morning everyone. Thanks for our daily dose of useful information. Happy Chinese New Year! Please pass the cream cheese brownies. I doubt today’s quote would go well if it were possible. The meal suggestion is one of my favorite holiday side dishes. The drink sounds tempting and almost a mocktail. I haven’t been to today's port. Prayers for those on today’s prayer list. Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events and happy birthday to @Haljo1935! 🎉🎂🥂

Bon voyage and safe travels everyone! 🍾🛳️

Here here to what RuthC said and she probably never even heard of Rudy De La Mor from Chicago. May he rest in peace!

Good morning everyone. Thanks for today’s report, recipes and lists. I really appreciate the work that you kind folks do and I hope that I don’t take it for granted. Funny thing about bike to work day is that when I first woke up and before I read this daily, I saw a gentleman out on the sidewalk preparing to take one of the blue bikes to work! Bagels and lox sound wonderful. We cut the cord years ago and purchased a digital antenna instead, one of the best household financial decisions we’ve made as we’ve saved thousands of dollars over that period. I like today’s quote very much. The meal and drink suggestions sound like winners to me. By the way, we made Sunday’s ground beef and broccoli stir fry last evening and it was delicious. I have not been to today’s port. Prayers for those on our prayer list. Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events today!

Good morning everyone. Thanks for the daily report, recipes and lists. Hats off to the Boy Scouts who taught me how to tie a square knot among other valuable things. Wouldn’t it be nice to get rich for laughing, on the other hand I think you do. The quote reminds me to buy some valentine cards. The meal and drink suggestions sound delicious. I haven’t been to today’s port but the photos are very nice. Prayers for those on our prayer list, I hope things improve. Cheers to those celebrating happy events today!🎉

Bon voyage and safe travels!

Good morning everyone. Thanks for our daily updates. E-day, hmmm don’t think I’ll give that much thought. Hats off to the ballet and school plays that lift our spirits. The quote is a good pause for thought. I love acorn squash but probably not as a soup. Not sure about the drink. I’ve been to today’s port and enjoy it very much. I’ll try attaching some photos of a house we rented in 2016. Prayers for those on our prayer list. Cheers to those of you who are celebrating happy events today!
