The Fleet Report and Daily for Tuesday January 17th, 2023
Crazy For Cats replied to rafinmd's topic in Holland America Line
Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily fleet report. Today is an in office day, I’ll make good use of the work printer. Yesterday we paid for our May Zaandam cruise. I’m curious about today’s meal suggestion so will wait for pictures and recipes from @dfish to see if it appeals, I like the lamb chops in Tamarind but not at our local Greek restaurant. Wishing everyone a good Tuesday.- 78 replies

The Fleet Report and Daily for Monday January 16th, 2023
Crazy For Cats replied to rafinmd's topic in Holland America Line
Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily fleet report. Like @Mr. Bostonwe woke up to a nice coating of snow and it’s still coming down, this is the most we’ve gotten this winter. Today’s meal suggestion sounds good to me, DH would pick out the mushrooms. I wish I could celebrate do nothing day but it is a work day for me. Yesterday we did manage to put everything back into the attic. It was a tight fit since we lost most of the available storage space. Over time it will encourage us to declutter it a bit. I hope everyone has a good day today.- 67 replies

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily fleet report. I’m curious about today’s meal suggestion and look forward to pictures and recipes from @dfish. I’m making a pork roast that is marinating. Yesterday the work crew showed up a little early and didn’t finish until 2. They put in a new insulation and a vent for the attic and another vent for the bathroom fan. Today’s chore will be to put back the stuff in the attic. They also closed up some gaps that allowed heat to escape. We now have a third of the space for storage but that should be ok. For those in MA the free home energy audit is worth the time. A trip to Aldi and Pet Smart are my errands today. I hope everyone has a good day today.- 77 replies

The Fleet Report and Daily for Saturday January 14th, 2023
Crazy For Cats replied to rafinmd's topic in Holland America Line
Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily fleet report. It was nice watching our BHB come into port this morning, Mona made sure I was awake. Today’s meal suggestion is something I like a lot but don’t get very often. The best I’ve had was in an Irish pub in Batavia, NY, I’m sure the beer helped. The installation of more insulation in the attic was moved from Monday to today. This works better for us since I can pay attention and make sure the cats stay inside. I will not attempt to dress any of the cats. It would not go well.- 73 replies

If you are giving them pills try pill pockets. I have to give River her pill twice a day and that is the only way she’ll take the pill. They have chicken, salmon and catnip flavored pockets.- 81 replies

Good Morning Jacqui, I’m glad that you safely back at home. Thank you for all you do with this thread! While on the NA we booked the May 20, 2023 7 Day Historic Coasts on the Zaandam. We decided to book this on the cheap and have an OV, seeing if these are ok for retirement. At least we aren’t too far from the promenade deck.

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily fleet report. It’s a rainy day here today, so much easier to deal with than snow. I’ll pass on today’s meal suggestion I have no idea what’s for dinner, maybe takeout. I hope everyone has a good day today. Happy Friday the 13th- 81 replies

I’ve done the math on this a few times. I find that without gratuity it’s borderline at best. We typically drink during happy hour so those prices are reduced. I also consider our discount for specialty dinners. You if your excursion is cancelled and there are no replacements then that $100 is lost. I booked our next cruise while on the NA without HIA and since it was during the Black Friday sale we have gratuity and ship board credit.

Our favorite is the corner aft cabin. On the NA I don’t think anyone could see us from above. -

@kazu I’m glad that you made it home safely, even if the luggage didn’t follow you. -

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily fleet report. Today’s meal suggestion is a favorite of mine, garlic bread and wine would round out the meal. I look forward to recipes and pictures from @dfish. I hope no one is traveling right now as all flights in the US are grounded due to a system error. Hopefully it gets resolved quickly. I like today’s quote and I think it’s mostly true. I hope everyone has a good day today.- 106 replies

Good Evening Everyone, thanks for the daily fleet report. Today’s meal suggestion sounds like something I’d enjoy and pictures and recipes from @dfish confirmed it for me. We’ve been to Bar Harbor a few times, always on a BHB. Wishing everyone a good rest of the day.- 68 replies

The Fleet Report and Daily for Monday January 9th, 2023
Crazy For Cats replied to rafinmd's topic in Holland America Line
Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily fleet report. Today’s meal suggestion is a favorite of mine. We just had it for New Years Day so it will be awhile before I make it again. We had a very light dusting of snow overnight and the temperatures are supposed to get into the 40’s so it will be gone quickly. Today National Grid is coming to replace our gas meter. They requested that I lock up any pets before they arrive. I replied it’s their home and you need to give a better arrival window, four hours is too long. The cats will supervise but ultimately stay out of the workers way. After multiple hoops to get a person I was not in a good mood. I hope everyone has a good Monday.- 62 replies

Our longest cruise has been 15 days and that was a full transit starting at San Diego, I couldn't imagine one much longer for us while we have the cats.- 77 replies
