What a day in Amsterdam and we are safely onboard mothership Prima by 4 PM. Private tour was excellent, thank you, Bill & Nancy. OMG, I have only about 130 new photos to add or upload to share w CC'ers but going to early bird dinner shortly so we can come back up to our balcony to enjoy sailaway & watch the 3 hours scenic river transit to the lock again. First, this batch is all about the gangway, reminders & terminal facilities, etc. and, it has good & fast, free WiFi 👍

We are here -

Gooooood morning, Sharon & Robert ... the party girl is still sleeping ? 😁😁😁😁😁

We are turning around slowly Tendering anyone 😁 Full stop & docking 😀

Ever changing scenery - more photos and we haven't dock yet 😆😁🤗

Almost there 👌

Breakfast a la bento box style, it's new. Specifically ordered & requested cookies to be included, delivery person apologized but NONE available. Not a deal breaker to not have cookies, but demonstrated proof of the B.S. story given to others, I tried. Go with the flow and be happy. Just blow. Let it go, let it go.

Scenic & breathtaking from our balcony - starboard views from the Prima, feeling blessed 🌞

5G coverage - check out the speed comparison - woohoo 🫢🤫🤗 Station Zebra is in turbo mode now 😎😸😁

Fresh air on a misty, foggy morning as we are moving along at 6 kts toward our port in Amsterdam 👍 Almost 7 AM local time, our morning breakfast from room service should be here shortly ... the best part of waking up, is that coffee in one's hand with a croissant 🥐

Amazing - wishing you are here, here are more photos. The lock going inland opening up and we are heading in, toward Amsterdam now at 6:30 AM

Good early morning, we are here at the lock, leaving the North Sea In darkness as we approach

Let's roll the pictures with music from ... Starlight Express (ALW) and come along to cruise toward the North Sea Lock toward Amsterdam @dexddd - still looking for the missing spare propeller

That digital status board of real time availabilities is a joke, it showed Hudson at 33% and The smaller Commodore Room at 100% - not. 4 of us walked in at 6:35 PM and we're seated within 4 minutes, no wait, no pagers, no fuzz. Tonight's theme is heavily beans based on the salad & soup option, more blue fish again.

Ok, since I made the decision to order hot breakfast delivery in the early morning to enjoy the scenic view, I am doing a write-in for cookies, on top of the breakfast bento box w bakery & pastries ... since NCL is charging for my convenience to sail, sustain & enjoy. Why not ask for it 😁 Stay tuned for an AM report to find out if they will bring some on request. Prima's home fries being overcooked, too salty, and cold ... as much as I love fries, not against McK'D's freshly prepared fries. NCL leave theirs under the heat lamp for far too long & being warm at best, just don't taste right. Love a great certified Angus Beef burger w crispy & tasty truffle fries. See below - that's what I am talking about & will jam the ABS brakes for 😋
