Yet another sunset today from my 2012 Prinsendam European cruise.  On June 12 we visited Galway, Ireland.

It was a beautiful day as we sailed the Pacific Ocean Islands many years ago.

Back to a sunrise today but still from the 2015 Prinsendam voyage.  On June 13 we visited Foynes, Ireland, down the River Shannon a bit from Limerick:

For @Keith1010 and any other Beatles fans, NPR had a nice interview on this morning with Paul McCartney about his photos.  It is short and light-hearted and his cute personality shows through.

Thank you so much.

 

I will try to find it.

 

Also learned this morning with the help of AI they are taking a song by John Lennon never before released and redoing it for release later this year.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy, another great squashed chicken meal tonight.

 

Winner winner chicken dinner!

 

Think I'll go roll some coal... 

[Keith1010]

Bags packed. Ready to go. Can't wait.

I have 2 more sunsets as my 2015 Prinsendam European cruise approaches the end.  June 14 was a sea day from Foynes to LeHavre:

Don't blame me.  😀

 

If you sit at the bar in the Avenue Saloon on Crystal Serenity and look below you might see this assuming it hasn't been removed during dry dock.

 

I promise. Anne Marie and I didn't do this.  🤣  We are innocent.

My final sunset from the 2015 Prinsendam cruise.  On June 15 we visited LeHavre.

Sadly, as I will need to stay closer to home it is unlikely I will never sail Crystal again but I certainly have great memories and was pleased to see today that it is back on cruisetimetables.com,

 

I've been wondering when or if I would ever lay eyes on a Crystal ship again and think I now know the answer.  My next cruise is on QM2 (still booked with credits from the 2020 shutdown) September 29 to October 13. a New England fall foliage cruise.  I just miss Serenity leaving New York but will be in Quebec October 5-7 while Serenity is in port October 4-6).

Ready to eat too.

Great!  I look forward to it.

 

Ooops, silly me, typo!  QM11 voyage.  🥴

Once again, today's sunrise is from my 2015 Prinsendam European voyage.  June 16 we visited our final port of Zeebrugge:

Although this dining venue isn't returning, these are still nice responses when you are asked if there is something more you would like by the wonderful waitstaff team on-board Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity.

Am I the only person who's going to miss Churrascaria? I only ate there once, but I thought it was fabulous!

No. My friends and I loved it. It was our second favorite place to eat after UU.

Me too.  I dined there several times on both ships.

 

I have never been on a ship in late June.  Today's sunrise is from last year in my neighborhood:
