A couple months ago, Holland America offered an upgrade from a room with an Obstructed view to one with a veranda. I grabbed it. I figured if I had to isolate, that veranda would be pretty darn nice.
I spend many delightful hours out there, adeck above the obstructing lifeboats. Indeed I am sitting one deck up from my assigned lifeboat. In extremity I could jump on its roof.
But I won’t.
