Crazy For Cats

I finally went up and saw the ships coin. The cake extravaganza.

Good Morning from the Rotterdam, thanks for today's report. It's amazing how late you can sleep without the furry alarm clocks going off at 5 am. Today we have a Mariner recognition event at 11 then the PG for lunch. After those events nothing is planned. Last night we had dinner at the Tamarind and the food was good. That said something felt off but I can't put my finger on it. One of our favorite bar staff from the Zaandam is on board. She knew we were going to be here and she brought us some dried mangos from the Philippines. Suddenly the sun is gone and it looks like rain will be in the forecast. I hope everyone has a good day. This morning the cabin stewards left this for us, very cute.

Bon Voyage!

Good Morning, thanks for today's daily fleet report. It's a beautiful morning in St Thomas, we will get off the ship and look around. Today's meal suggestion sounds good but tonight we are back to the Tamarind. Some Christmas lights in San Juan. Some of the cats that hot treats. This guy just wanted to know come home with me. Last night's dinner was at Cayo Caribe.

The captain is busy docking the ship.

@seagarsmoker we are finding the same issue on the Rotterdam. The ice machines are empty most of the time. Tea and lemonade can be found only in pitchers at a few locations.

Good Morning from the Rotterdam, thanks for the daily report. The seas are much calmer but still a bit bumpy at times. We moved our clocks ahead an hour and when we went for breakfast in the lido there was no waiting. @ottahand7 Happy Birthday. DH saw the cat treats and gave me a look. He knows where we are going as part of our walk around San Juan. At DH's insistence we watched Musicology last night. IMHO it wasn't any better than the other performances we've watched. We plan on watching El Morro as we sail past later this morning. I hope everyone has a good day today.

Finally made it to happy hour. Mango Champagne Dream @dfish at home I'm not a lamb fan. On a dam ship different story. Tamarind does a wonderful job and this afternoon for lunch i had lamb curry and it was excellent.

We made it off the ship and walked around to see if anything appealed. We both came back empty handed. DH and me taken by a friendly passenger. I thought that these were pretty.

This is so true in our house. Tucker and Jasper will fight me for my cereal bowl.

The weather this morning is ever changing. I woke up and it was sunny, showered and it was raining. Went to breakfast sunny, now rain again. Luckily we have no tours planned. After posting this appeared.

Good Morning from the Rotterdam, is a beautiful morning and we are docked in Grand Turk. It feels nice, the sun is shining, there is a wind but fir the moment no rocking of the ship. That should give DH some relief. Dinner in the PG last night was very good. All mariner credits were properly applied yesterday do I'm pleased with that outcome. After breakfast we will get off the ship and look around. I hope everyone has a nice day today.

Good Afternoon, lunch at the PG was nice although I didn't expect it to take 90 minutes. We sent out laundry last night and it came back by 1:30, excellent turn around. We are invited to the wine tasting but will skip it, DH doesn't think it would be good tor him since he's still suffering from motion sickness. Maybe we will watch a movie.

Good Morning from the Rotterdam, thanks for today's daily fleet report. It's been a bumpy ride since we left Port Everglades. DH needed some meds as he was feeling it, I slept very well with the occasional wake up when it felt like we hit something. Tamarind last night was excellent. The hostess is someone we've met on previous cruise and it was a delight to see her. I will make a stop at the front desk to get my discount, I prepaid for last night. Today's meal suggestion sounds good but today will be a PG day. We have lunch and then dinner there, need our bacon fix. If anyone on board wants to say hello I'm wearing a blue Cape Cod tshirt. I hope everyone has a good day. Rotterdam 2023

My DM and DS live near Philadelphia, they'd like those temperatures.

We came from temps in the 30's.

DH wants his winter coat. Says its cold

Underway

Departure toot

We will be on our balcony. Deck seven near the bridge We are this close

We are getting a little help leaving.

We joined you today.

Good Afternoon, we had lunch in the MDR. It was very busy. Did our muster station duties, although it seemed a bit challenging to figure when and what to do. I quickly booked PG for lunch on our two sea days. Additionally booked PG gor tomorrow night gor our bacon fiction. DH isn't excited about our balcony location. I do think this is where we will be for sail away. Seeing this on our deck made me happy. My first cruise was on this ship.

Bon Voyage!

A very quick check in. The 5* line had no waiting. Received a Tamarind reminder for tonight. Now just waiting until boarding starts.
