Crazy For Cats

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily report. Today’s meal suggestion is a favorite of mine. Yesterday we had a storm front come through in the late afternoon and it poured. Now we have low humidity and temperatures in the 60’s. I think it very comfortable DH thinks winter is here.😆. This weekend’s chore is to make the house look good for the pet sitter, confirm all is packed and figure out ArrivCan. I hope that everyone has a good day today.

Several years ago I got them a pair of these placemats in Sydney. Far better than anything on Amazon. The also had bone shaped placemats for dogs. All proceeds support a local rescue.

Thank you! I’m looking forward to this trip. Pinnacle Grill is booked for DH birthday. I also ordered him flowers. Now to get the correct result on our test.

Good Afternoon All, thanks for the daily report. I’m not a flip flop fan but DH wears them a lot and is on the hunt for a new pair. The cats would enjoy today’s meal suggestion much more than me. It’s been a very busy week with work. Right now I have a small reprieve until the zoom sessions begin again. I hope everyone has a good day today. TGIF

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily report. I'll pass on today's meal suggestion, we will have leftover pork. It's a beautiful morning today and the birds are busily feeding round two of their babies. I wish everyone a good Tuesday. Flag Day is celebrated here.

I called in this morning and was able to upgrade from Vista to Neptune for the B2B that starts on June 25. I thought the offers fair. There was only one cabin open both ways and that’s what I booked. I’ve put the number on my HAL spreadsheet so I have it for next time. Thank you @VMax1700 for sharing.

Good Afternoon, thanks for the daily report. It was a busy work morning that started with a password change. Now if I can remember it. Today’s meal suggestion sounds good especially the first recipe from @dfish. I ignored my PCC’s advice to wait for an upgrade offer and called a bit ago. I was able to snag a Neptune upsell for both itineraries. With only one cabin left both ways I’m glad I called. Now we don’t have to change cabins when we get to Montreal. After DH insisting we upgrade he wants to complain that it costs more.🤣 @Heartgrove my condolences to you and your family. @kazu happy to see you here again. I hope that everyone has a good day today.

Currently the website says that masks are recommended not required. We booked under those terms. If they change we may want to cancel.

We booked with insurance too.

I think that if HAL wants to impose a mask mandate that is their choice. They should offer those who don’t want to accept the change a full refund. If then passengers don’t comply then disembark them.

I haven’t seen any ads on tv. I have been seeing lots of ads in my games.

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily report. Last night was a good one for sleeping, at least until 3 when Mona demanded some attention. Yesterday after running errands I pulled a bunch of weeds and finished putting down the mulch we had on hand. Weeds are a never ending battle. Today’s meal suggestion sounds interesting and based on @dfish recipes and pictures I’d give it a try if offered. Today’s menu is a pork roast which is marinating. If Walgreens calls with River’s prescription that will be my adventure for the day. Late Friday I did receive our cabin assignments for our Zaandam cruises. I’m considering calling the upsell department for an upgrade. I hope that everyone has a good Sunday.

The bounce back message from my PCC stated that it would take three to five business days to reply. Then gave links and numbers to do it yourself

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily report. Today’s meal suggestion sounds good and @dfish the first recipe has the most appeal to me. I too like corn on the cob. I remember my aunt and uncle having the family over for corn roasts, it was so good. Already made a run to Walmart. Petsmart, Kohl’s and Aldi are next up. Luckily they are in the same center. @1ANGELCAT I’m sorry to hear the news about Jaguar. I know that you’ll do what is best by him. Today is a beautiful day I hope everyone does something fun.

I asked this question with my PCC. The answer was no test required for B2B.

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily report. I enjoy ice tea, especially in the summer when I can make fresh mint tea from the garden. I’ll wait on @dfish to see what the meal suggestion is before deciding. I must admit I’m curious about the drink of the day. We’ve been to today’s port on a BHB. I hope that everyone has a good Friday. I’m looking forward to the work week ending.

Good Evening Everyone, thanks for the daily report. Today started out with downpours and eventually cleared. It was also an in office day. I’d like a couple of today’s meal suggestions please and @dfish I like your suggestions to go with the “meal”. @rafinmd I hope that the hip stops bothering you quickly.

I wouldn’t recommend buying the premium internet on an Alaska cruise. The farther north you go the more spotty internet becomes. Last summer the internet was horrible and barely worked. The satellite signal was so bad that the live tv was not available for large portions of the cruise.

I’d log into your account on HAL and confirm the itinerary on your booking. That would be the source of truth.

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily report. @richwmn I think that the current format works. I consider it an evolution of the fleet report. I would certainly understand if it shifted back. Maybe a virtual group celebration when the Westerdam sets sail with passengers. Today’s meal suggestion would need a substitute for the spinach. I’ll look for @dfish recipes for ideas since I do like calzones. It’s a rainy day here and more coming tomorrow. The plants definitely need the water. I’m seeing reports elsewhere that several cruises are being cancelled or having their sail dates change. We still have to be vigilant with our bookings. I hope everyone has a good day today.

I’d like to think your TA would have been notified. They may not have seen or sent you the update. One reason why I deal with HAL directly.

If you are on the Eurodam it is a November 9 to 20 cruise. I seem to recall another poster mentioning that there canal cruise was extended by a day. I just confirmed dates on the HAL site.

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily report. Today’s meal suggestion sounds good @dfish pictures and recipes make me hungry. Another beautiful morning here in NE with rain in the forecast. We have chocolate ice cream in the freezer so maybe that will be tonight’s treat. I hope that everyone has a good day today.

Good Evening Everyone, classmates reminded me today via FB that today marks my 45th anniversary of graduating from Milton Hershey. Where did the time go? We’ve been to Sitka three times and missed it once due to weather. I enjoy the town and come home with some artwork by Jon Stuart Anderson.

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily report. It’s a beautiful day here in New England. I’ll pass on today’s meal suggestion, although I wouldn’t be opposed to a liquid lunch on the weekend. Tonight we will have roast beef. I will be watching my inbox this week for an upsell offer. I’m going to reach out to my PCC to see if a test will be required on turn around day in Montreal. I have a set of tests if needed. I hope that everyone has a good day today.
