@CrewNews Roger Jett has a few photos of the NS Club Orange on his site I don't think they're in his main index, but I found them by using Google to search CruiseCritic.

Thank you, sir! Can you tell that someone's planning a cruise? (At last!)

Upper, lower, port, starboard or whole separate room? Or, if you prefer, feel free to says left or right as you enter the MDR. I can probably figure it out. 😁

It didn't flood down here. It's kind of counterintuitive, but these buildings already on the high ground. Also water can run off into the ocean pretty easily. Fort Lauderdale'sewer system just wasn't up to handling 28 inches of rain in 24 hours. Don't take the lack of horns and bells personally. It was really humid here and people's balcony cushions took a while to dry out.

Thanks! I'm surprised that the neighbors weren't ringing bells and blowing horns for the Cole. Part of our port view is blocked by Sky Harbor, the building where the PEV webcam lives.

Here's the sub. I'm not sure which one this is. You'd think I'd keep some binoculars on the balcony...

Tug boat "water ballet" to welcome the Navy. Fleet Week in Fort Lauderdale leads up to the Fort Lauderdale Air Show next weekend.

Nice photo! Are you sure that's the Cole? The hull number is 21. (Google could be lying to me though.) Of course, I could have missed the Cole. I'm waiting for this year's submarine.

It's the start of Fleet Week in Fort Lauderdale. Here's the USS New York steaming" into Port Everglades a few minutes ago. * I know that she's not really stealing, but a fella likes to use his words.

I keep a full size bar of soap and travel sizes of everything else in my shaving kit. Not just for cruises, but all the time. It's the old Boy Scout "Be Prepared" The thing.

You clearly have not traveled with Mrs. Two-Outfits-Daily-No-Repeats. 🤩A We're a 10 minute cab ride from the port. No luggage restrictions.

Thanks. I think the issue is with the Vista & Signature class ships.

Does anyone happen to have a photo of the closet & connecting door? I want to show how a closet section is missing.

Thanks! For some reason the name Cruise Atlas escaped me.

Does the full blown, dead tree, glossy Holland America Cruise Catalog still exist? It was cruising's answer to the Sears Wish Book, which I loved as a wee lad. Thanks.

Quick photo edit and it's a much nicer day!

We'll be waving our official Port Everglades reopening flags. For @aliaschief @cruzchic

Good old "Florida rain." Miserable to drive in.

No problem seeing what's going on, but I am getting a little wet.

Back at ya! Heavy rain coming in now. The building in the foreground is Sky Harbor which is where the webcam lives.

I'm a little sad that we're almost out of HAL ships at Port Everglades for the season.

Hope everyone has a great voyage!

Another ship from Holland in America! The Stad Amsterdam sailing out of Port Everglades just now. An unexpected, post-breakfast sail away.
