Bodo, the town and the military air base on the top! It is the capital of Norland County and can be found just north of the Artic Circle. Not too many cruise lines offer it as a stop however, Norwegian coastal ferry service/cruise line Hurtigruten does on it northbound and southbound routes on both Kong Harald and Nordkapp

Gotta be some of Canada's best, Gerrie! Wayne Gretzky (although I think he was part of the torch relay), Chris Hadfield, and Celine Dion would have fit in nicely in that group and, I'm sure there are others! But there's not always space for everyone
Yes Sir, and more specifically the currents, which can be strong at times, requiring tug boat assistance for departing/arriving cruise ships, as well as being able to sail under the Laviolette Bridge at Trois-Rivieres (three rivers) and the Quebec and Pierre Laporte bridges, west of Quebec City
A later than originally listed departure time for "operational reasons" does not affect boarding of new pax. That completely depends on the disembarkation process of the pax of the voyage before you and the turnaround time needed by the HK stewards and galley crew. Boarding time in Montreal for the OP and fellow "incoming" pax will still be the same as originally listed. Enjoy that Montreal to Boston voyage!
So yes, correctamundo! Zaandam is named after a pretty city located on the river Zaan north of Amsterdam. And yes, the "Zaanse Schans" working windmills is a major tourist attraction!
The current Zaandam is the third ship in HAL's long history that bears the name of that city
Zaandam I ((1882-1897)
Zaandam II (1938-1942)
Zaandam III (2000-present)
