Crazy For Cats

I found this bloom in our yard. I think the warm weather has it confused. I like this splash of color in the yard.

Good Morning and Happy New Year! Thanks for today’s daily fleet report. Last night I turned out the lights at 9 and DH woke me and Mona shortly after midnight. Today’s meal suggestion is one I like but not for today. Today I’m making pork and sauerkraut for dinner. The only agenda item is a load of laundry, I don’t think we are leaving the house today. I hope everyone has a good day today. From out visit to San Juan.

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for today’s daily fleet report. Today’s meal suggestion sounds good and we’ll be close, chicken with rice and beans as a one pot meal. DH saw a Lego in the Target ad so that could be something we do, otherwise nothing much is planned. Wishing everyone a safe and fun New Year’s Eve. Amsterdam 2017, the party continued into the Crows Nest.

Bon Voyage!

Good Morning, thanks for today’s daily fleet report. The kids let me sleep until 6 this morning. This morning we had ham omelettes but I’m sure we will have bacon over the weekend. Today’s agenda will include a trip to Aldi. I’m considering subscribing to Disney Plus, I’m missing the Dr Who episodes. I hope everyone has a good day today. One of my favorite pieces of art on the Rotterdam.

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily fleet report. It’s another warm wet day here in MA. It promises to be a quiet work day. This morning I put away the Christmas decorations and cleaned up the dining room. @dfish I hope everything goes well today. @seagarsmoker I hope you feel better soon. @Denise T my New Year’s Eve plans are very similar except that there will be wine🥂 @aliaschief we watched the latest Indiana Jones movie on the Rotterdam and were happy we didn’t spend any money to see it. Wishing everyone a nice day.

Bon Voyage ,

The camera operator is up and zoomed in on the Rotterdam arriving in the channel.

Good Morning, thanks for the daily fleet report. It’s a rainy day here and would be a good day for today’s meal suggestion. I should finally catch up on my work emails. Wishing everyone a good day today.

Bon Voyage!

Good Afternoon Everyone, thanks for today’s daily fleet report. This morning the alarm clock went off at 3 and wouldn’t stop until breakfast was served. Another warm day here in New England, although overcast. It was a busy day catching up on work emails and luckily no calls or meetings. @dfish I hope everything goes well on Friday. I hope everyone has a good rest of the day.

Bon Voyage!

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for today’s daily fleet report. Yesterday got into the 50’s and today should be in the mid 40’s, it’s nice to save a little on the heating bill. Today is going to be a very busy day with work as I catch up on all those emails that came in while I was on the Rotterdam. I’d like today’s meal suggestion and look forward to @dfish recipes and pictures. We used to go to Cracker Barrel on a regular basis but now seems to far to go for a meal. We’ve been to today’s port twice. The last time we went to the aviary and that was a nice excursion. This little guy had fun trying to get food from the little area near the ship.

Good Morning and a Merry Christmas to all who celebrate the holiday. One of the smoke detectors demanded a new battery for Christmas as it started chirping at 3am. Today’s dinner will be turkey, rice with beans and sweet plantains. I received our post cruise survey. I strongly suggested that they stop the uncomfortable discussion with cabin stewards about room service. Instead have the conversation at the time of booking. Just mark it like they do dining or bed size. One more from our 2019 Veendam cruise.

I completed a post cruise task. I started my Rotterdam VII memory shelf. After a few more cruises it may look like the NA shelf.

Good Morning, thanks for today’s daily fleet report. Today will be a nice day with temperatures in the 40’s. I’ll make a quick trip to the grocery store and then nothing much planned. I want to stay away from the crowds. I’ll pass on today’s meal suggestion and instead I’m going to make baked ziti, I was inspired by @dfish recipes and pictures. The wine is chilled to go along with dinner. I hope everyone has a good day today.

100% agree with you. Also if possible a repair kit. One time DH’s screw came out and he couldn’t find it.

Checking in.

Good Morning Everyone, thank you for today’s daily fleet report. The alarm clocks had me out of bed by 5:15 demanding breakfast. Apparently they didn’t like the cutbacks in service last week, I got an earful from Amelia. Yesterday our plane landed about 20 minutes early. That allowed us to catch the 4:30 shuttle that ran a little late instead of the 5:30 shuttle we expected to get. Also upon landing the app let me know that we arrived. That experience only served to confirm having a hard copy of important travel documents. Today’s agenda includes laundry, first load underway, a trip to Aldi and an inspection of the outside to look for any storm damage. One of Juan’s LEGO’s took a hit while we were away and he will probably put it back together this weekend. That’s assuming he can find all the pieces since the little vandals like to bat the pieces around. I hope everyone has a good day today and anyone traveling has a safe journey.

My alarm clocks had me up in time to see the NA arrive. Hopefully I’ll be here for sail away.

Bon Voyage!

Self disembarkation started at 7:15. The line was very long but once it started moving went reasonably fast. The line of traffic to get to the airport was extremely long and the driver took us to the arrival entrance which went quickly. I opened the Jetblue app and it said my flight was cancelled, DH's wasn't. I started to panic. After a few lines and people telling me no flights were cancelled a ticketing agent printed my boarding pass. He said the app was acting up. I'll feel better when we are on the plane and in the air.

Good Morning from the Rotterdam, we are docked and had our last breakfast. We will self disembark when we are allowed, hopefully around 7:30. We want to get to the airport as soon as possible to deal with the expected crowds. The clouds make it look like it could rain. Last night's dinner at the Tamarind was a big letdown. An hour in and we only had our appetizer. I hope everyone has safe travels as they go to meet family and friends.

Good Morning from the Rotterdam, it looks like it will be a nice day. We are at HMC and will probably go to the island for a walk around and then back for lunch. All aboard is 1:30 which makes for a shorter stay than usual. The cruise director said it was for operational reasons. Diner tonight will be in the Tamarind. Hope everyone has a good day today.

Lunch was at the PG and the service was great. I tried the crab cakes as the appetizer and confirmed I don't like them. I ate one and DH gladly ate the other one. The beef tri tips was excellent. I substituted fries for the salad.
