Seasick Sailor Posted December 22, 2023 #102 Share Posted December 22, 2023 What a crazy day! I haven't really caught up with CC today. Have been in and out. Since we were in Port (FLL) we called family and friends to wish them Merry Christmas and saved my favorites for last as they love to talk! Jacqui and others who are grieving a loss today, my condolences. Celebration for all cruising! Lot's of screamers at Lido tonight. Soon the pool will close and we will have the Mariners cocktail party. I will catch up tomorrow. Sincere prayers for our Daily family. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have rented cars a few times in Ketchikan and driven both directions from town. Heading southeast from town. Now, going northwest from town. Totem Bight State Historical Park. In 2018 on Zaandam, we were also fortunate to see their 4th of July Parade. It was a warm, sunny day in the mid 80s, and the locals were complaining about the heat. It was the only time we've left the ship in shorts and without a raincoat. We watched the parade from the ship, which gave us a great viewpoint. The flyover by the seaplanes. These were just two of many. The final entrant. Now, back to my mess. I wonder if I can make it any worse when I make the replacement pie crust.

seagarsmoker Posted December 23, 2023 #107 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Sorry, I posted earlier, but it didn't post.... Our tour was not very good. Island is very clean, mega cactus everywhere and outside of the city, not much else. I will post more tomorrow. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quartzsite Cruiser Posted December 23, 2023 #110 Share Posted December 23, 2023 DD and SDIL landed safely in Phoenix. It looks like they can make it here because of the Interstate. Rain should stop before they get here. Lenda 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SusieKIslandGirl Posted December 23, 2023 #112 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Yippee! I just booked our flight to Athens for our November cruise. I was able to use our AlaskaAir miles on Iberia Airlines (I am so tired of British Air being the only option-lousy service and pricy fees). Only drawback is DH will be in Business and I'll be in Premium Economy, but hopefully another seat will open up in the coming months. Now to find tickets from Rome to Atlanta, where we'll stop off to visit DS and DDIL for an early Thanksgiving on the way back-and the long wait! 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare erewhon Posted December 23, 2023 #117 Share Posted December 23, 2023 The fog cleared for a few hours this afternoon, but has returned. @kazu and @1ANGELCAT sincere sympathy to you both for your losses. @bennybear Like you, our first cruise was to Alaska for a week to see if we liked cruising, after the long flight to Vancouver, we decided yes, thanks to the beautiful Volendam and Alaska. One evening we had dinner in the Lido, Captain Visser sat at the next table and talked with us. We also had the pleasure of sailing with him on his last cruise, he was piped ashore at Sydney, then he and his wife stood at the Opera House waving, as we sailed by, with lots of tooting from the ship. it was quite an emotional sail out from Sydney. Christmas Eve tomorrow. Good night to all. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
