Sorry it's so cold in Jacksonville, Doug. That's rater unusual. After a wild wind storm on Friday night, L.A. is cleaning up in 74 degree weather. Really appreciate your reports, my day isn't complete without checking in with you.

Just got off the ncl Bliss 5 day cruise and with a crew to serve 4, 000 guests on our 1100 guest trip. Let's say the service was excellent and there was no lines to anything at all and it was the best 5 days ever.

I've checked out the ship exterior on a webcam. She looks in good shape. I hope she finds a new owner. Keep warm and thanks for the news.

Good Morning Doug! Thanks for the updates.

Me and my family will love to go on a cruise called Odyssey Of The Seas after this pandemic is over. I love meeting new people on the cruise ship. One day, I will meet the girl of my dreams on the cruise ship in the future.

Bummer about Crystal cruiseline. I did see a local news channel interviewing passengers. I love the ones who spoke highly of the cruiseline. That's the spirit and I'm sure the company appreciates the loyalty. I'm not shocked at all about the bankruptcy bc the weaker lines would have been hit the hardest by the meaningless shutdown. It's quite sad that people's livelihood have been hurt so badly.

Thank you to our host Doug. Interesting tactic used by Genting Hong Kong

Bottom line is cruise lines need to pay for fuel just like we do.

So the ship can just going to hangout in the Bahamas. Kind hard to hide cruise ship.

Indoor masking policies are smart given the current climate, but it all comes down to enforcement. Without that, the policy is meaningless. Of course, that puts the crew in such an awful position when dealing with people who know the policy but just blatantly disregard it.
