  1. Bon Voyage Brian & Michelle! Very much looking forward to following along. Hope you and Pooh Boy have a wonderful time 🙂
  2. Bon Voyage @Smmessineo Bon Voyage Brian & Michelle @POA1 & @Huskerchick Have a great cruise and a WONDERFUL time!!!!!!
  3. Good Friday morning everyone. It’s raining here of course but that seems appropriate to me for Good Friday. My generator is running (translation power is out) and people are stranded with flooding already. One of my potential dog sitters is actually stranded right now. No one can get through. The search for the right person continues. I have stricken 7 people off and have 2 possibilities that show promise. My preferred choice is someone here with Ivan. But how do you check them out other than meeting them and ask for references?? If anyone has done this and you have any tips, please share. I haven’t even thought of packing or a list or anything with this mess. Thank heavens I made the name tags earlier. Prayers for all who need them and cheers to those celebrating and cruising.
  4. @doone I didn’t realize until I went to add it that you didn’t give me the name of your ship in 2026. Please let me know and I will get it added. Thank you 🙂
  5. The Bon Voyage threads are derived from this listing. If you would like to receive a Bon Voyage I need the following details please: Your EMBARKATION date The SHIP you are on  # of days includingif you are on a Collectors or B2B & the NAME of your cruise     B2B? If you want a Bon Voyage for them, please give the dates. Thank you 😃

  7. HOLLAND AMERICA BOARD'S FUTURE CRUISE LISTING Updated March 29th, 2024 We all love to hear what cruises you are booked on. I post the Bon Voyage threads 7 days before sailing so, to be included in this: Post 3 weeks in advance so you aren’t missed. 1st cruise, anniversary, special celebration? Let us know. Details needed are in the 2nd post of this thread. Please use REPLY and not QUOTE when posting to this thread. Using 'Quote' makes a very long thread and cumbersome to read. Don’t mistake this for a Roll Call. Go to the Roll Call Section here on Cruise Critic to find your cruise & sign up.

  9. Good morning all from rainy New Brunswick. It’s going to rain for days before it turns to ice/snow/whatever. Serious concerns if all comes they are forecasting that the Saint John River will over flow. Just a quick post - in a funk and stressed between two things - a financial issue that has been going on for 15 months - got the notice it was paid but they paid the other party and not me. ‘Sigh’. So now I have to wait and hopefully get paid or get nasty again 😞. The most important thing though is that Ivan’s home while I am away has just fallen apart so I spent yesterday calling and starting interviews. It continues today in between my acupuncture appointment. I can get him in my dogs’ old vacation home but he’s never been kennelled and I don’t think at nearly 10 it is time to start. 😞 @ancient warrior Maxine, I am so sorry to hear that your DGD has strep and scarlet fever 😞 I hope she feels better very soon. OMG Dixie @summer slope so very sorry about your accident. I am glad nothing is broken but you are going to be so very sore 😞 I hope you can heal quickly 🙏 Annie @marshhawk & Gerry @ger_77 wonderful that you booked the 2025 Oosterdam cruise 🙂 Prayers for all who need them. Cheers to all celebrating.
  10. Happy to add it for you 🙂 I will get Rotterdam deleted for you. I’d be happy to add the Volendam for you if you would like to provide me with the details.
