Well, folks .... Our Valentine's Anniversary cruise is only a few days away and it looks like my luck may have finally changed this year. No major snow in the forecast for next Tuesday !

I'd like to thank "JohnG" for posting a myriad of Norfolk "links" over the past several months. Other folks have been helpful, as well , but John has provided a wealth of very useful information. I never would've thought that the Cedar Grove parking facility would be "cash only" @ $10/day.

Retrieved my tux and shirts from the closet yesterday ( It's nice visiting old friends ) thinking it'd be a good idea have them cleaned. I think I've held up better with age than they have. I'd have thought I would've had a vivid memory of getting a burn hole in the seat of my pants ! Oh well, thank God for the local tux rental shops with "Cruise Specials". $130 for a tux and 3 shirts, vests & ties for 2 weeks .. What a life-saver !

I'd like to request that everyone say a few "fair weather" prayers for those who will be leaving Norfolk on 2/21 ...... It'll make our ride home much more enjoyable.

Well, since we will be waiting on the pier for your timely return so we can board on the 21st, we too hope you have fair weather and following seas. Enjoy!:) Glad the links helped.

Well, John ....

I know it's too late for you to be viewing this ... because you're on board by now.

I hope that after you got over your first day's experience ... the balance of your cruise went well.

For others who are reading this:

On 2/21/04 the Maasdam docked at 1:15 PM instead of 8 AM. Our number, for disembarkation, was announced at 3:55 PM.

When the cruise began on 2/10 and the ship was 3 hours late arriving ... we boarded her at a few minutes past 6 PM and the Maasdam departed from her berth at 7:15 PM.
