Where do you get this info?

David: You are as faithful as ever in adivising us as to the wearabouts of the Fleet.

Thank YOU!

The next ship we will cruise on, the MS Ryndam, was sure looking great sailing into San Diego this morning. C'mon December!

[PumpkinPatches]

Thanks for posting this every morning... it's the #1 thing I do when I get to work!

Where do you get this info?

 

LAFFNVEGAS has a contact at HAL who shares this. HAL provides a spreadsheet (in mid-December) for the year. This explains why some ship changes aren't reflected in the daily post. If there is a lot of chatter about a change... like Veendam leaving St. George early for Hamilton... or avoiding a hurricane, we try to update the files.

I take the spreadsheet file and "translate" into a more user-friendly format. It comes to me like this... with a little better spacing horizontally

I change the ships' names to the full name. I add the "at sea" positions, and I change the times to a 12 hr clock instead of the 24 hr format. Sometimes, I add more geographical information if HAL's description is an obscure place (to me at least).

luvtwotrvl is my DH, and he posts each night. I try to stay ahead of him. I'm running out of my "prepared" files for him to copy and paste. I need to work on that! I prepare one week at a time.

 

Hope this explains the process.
