With my lack of travel in late June I strain for sunrises and this was taken 2 years ago today on my morning walk with the sun just peeking out a bit among the trees over the rooftops.

I would like to apologize for the mistakes in my previous post. I was at the theater and the show was about to start. I will probably continue to confuse how to use some words (in, on, at …) because of English not being my first language but I will pay more attention that my phone does not change words and I do not post anything without reviewing it since Cruise Critic does not allow editing after 30 minutes 😌

Ivi, don’t worry about autocorrect, typos, etc, just enjoy being on board Symphony! 
Have a wonderful cruise and give a quick report whenever you can! Bon Voyage!

As someone who often makes typos compounded by auto-correct do not worry. Have a great cruise.

Hi Roy I am not sure why you are not traveling at the moment but since you are a very important member of the Cruise Critic community, I have decided to overcome my laziness and do a semi live report of my current cruise and take you along.

I have no sunrise from June 23, but on June 15 I was somewhat hobbled in the hand by invasive procedures on the 14th.  So this is a sunset from June 15, 2015 on MS Prinsendam at LeHavre.

We understand completely and we would help you if we could! Glad I saw your first post with the lovely photo, before I saw your messages here.

I'll just say this: go Oilers!

Today's sunrise was taken 2 years ago from the grounds of the former school and now administration building in my neighborhood.

Since I don't have a June 25 sunrise I'm going way back in June to a sunset from My 2015 Prinsendam cruise.  On June 11 we visited Killybegs, Ireland.

I have a sunset rather than a sunrise today.  The last week of June was often Scout Camp for me and this is from June 26, 2013 from a camp in the Pocono Mountains:

I have a sunset today rather than a sunrise, and it's from 2 years ago today, taken from the grounds of the middle school across the street from me.

Today's photo was taken two years ago this morning at the parking lot of the building where I worship:

My sunrise today was taken 2 years ago from right outside my front door:

I don't have a sunrise from June 30 so I am going to June 26, 2011.  This was taken at our local scout camp near the Susquehanna River near Whiteford, MD:

Roy, today I passed three Tim Horton’s!

 

Wish you were here.

I have a sunset rather than a sunrise today.  It's from my first day on Queen Mary 2 July 1, 2022 after being thrown off the ship in Perth/Fremantle in 2022:

I just received an email from Crystal at 10:42am this morning re:

"As a valued Crystal customer, we would like to hear your thoughts and feedback on your cruising experience with us. 

 

We have recently worked with Qualtrics, a third party software that creates smooth and effective online surveys (15-20 min). And because your opinion matters to us, we would love for you to take part.

 

When clicking through the link, you will be taken through the Qualtrics online platform where you will be presented with some quick and easy multiple-choice questions."

 

Which country are you based in?

Australia  U.K.  U.S.A.   OTHER.  As we are from Canada I checked OTHER. This was the response: We thank you for your time spent taking this survey.
Your response has been recorded.

Needless to say I was ticked off. We have. cruised with Crystal since 1995, including 2 World Cruises as well as the Inaugural Cruise in 2023 and then: JAN 5 - FEB 3, 2024 - 31 DAYS.

Question is: are we the only Canadians who received this and if so why were we sent this Survey? I

Perhaps we are not considered worthy enough for Crystal....

I am guessing they are only trying to get answers based on Australian, UK and USA cruisers perspectives is all!   As a targeted issue survey!  Don't assume the worst!

Nancy, I  do not assume the worst. I realize that they are looking for the above countries' cruisers are being targeted for their perspectives survey.

However, it does feel that way for me, that our perspectives are not worth taking.

How would you feel if if they they wouldn't want your Perspectives?

I am not trying to criticize Crystal...just trying to find out why we are not able to do the survey.

Pat, I checked with Crystal. It is being fixed. I also tested it out so I could see it first hand.

Voilà Roy for your collection a sunrise and a sunset on board Crystal Symphony. I am posting it here because it is more likely for you to see. Enjoy them.
