Monday 29th April. At sea, Atlantic ocean en route to Gibraltar.

Here is todays location off the west coast of Africa.

Good morning fron Nieuw Statendam, sailing towards Gibraltar.  Today is a sea day and the sea is running a tad high, but not as much as last night.

@VMax1700  do you know if pax can purchase the airport transfer on the ship, not the tour plus transfer but simply the transfer.  I have a large OBC on an upcoming voyage and was hoping to use it for the transfer.  Thanks for your input and thanks for the detailed report. 

Yes they can $39 pp.

This afternoon the BBK band were trying out some new material

Your Orange Party snacks look to be much more extensive than we had in the Caribbean. I like the pool as a venue as opposed to BB King.

Pool venue has so much more party atmosphere.  Under the big screen was dance area and they had put in the 'high pedestal tables' that are used for Captain's reception etc around the rest ot the pool area. Jose, the entertainments host, was giving it max volume and max encouragement, but no one needed encouraging. It was the best Orange party I have experienced so far.

And today we received the dreaded Disembarkation Notice

Here is Today's Daily

I thought I posted the menus, but it appears not.

Here is the Dutch menus from last night on NSDM, which also happened to be Kings Day.

By late, what time was that?   We are suppose to port in Edinburgh (South Queensferry) at 8:00am.  Hoping that officers will be onboard shortly after.  We are planning a DIY in Edinburgh, but because we tender and have to take a bus in, our time is limited.  It will be a Monday, so hoping that helps.

 

Immigration works by Deck?  Which order?  

I posted details last year when on Nieuw Statendam.  I will see if I can find a link to the live from thread.

There was a special Tapas corner with many Spanish delicacies in Lido tonight....

It was so good that I had dinner just from the tapas...

the "main course"

and churros for dessert. 😋

That looks amazing!

Was it at supper time? Or did you notice what time they put it out?

I'm assuming it was on a sea day?

It was Lido dinner, available at 5.30pm.  We were in Arrecife, Lazarote, so a port day with 5pm sailaway.

Catching up on today, Sunday 28th April in Arrecife, Lanzarote

Here is where NSDM was docked

approx 5 kms (3.5 mls) from town centre.

a free shuttle was offered supposedly to centre, but it was a good distance from the centre (about 1km) but close to tourist office and restaurants/cafes on the front. 

Being Sunday there was very  little retail open, but we walked up to the shopping centre which had the usual range of stores (Zara, Primark, Primor cosmetics, Jysk, a supermarket etc) all open.

we took a taxi from the stoes back to the ship for €9 (nine euro).

The "corners" are usually listed on the Lido menus. You'll find the menus on the app.

Not a certainty! Here is todays Lido menu and no mention of churros!

You may get lucky and miss Lerwick like we did.  Only joking.  They will come on to the ship and inspection can be slow.  You will be given approx times to be "interviewed" and they work by deck. Each person reports to the BF officers in World Stage.  You present your passport and on exit staff put a sticker on your key card, to confirm that you have cleared immigration.

Tonight on Nieuw Statendam

It was not listed anywhere, but I am not complaining.  I had dinner completely made from tapas

Buenas Dias desde Arrecife, Lanzarote.

Currently 18°c and a bit breezy.

Currently it gives access to these publications

View of the Orange party at Lido pool. The roof was mostly open and the atmosphere was raucus.  There was so, so much food being offered.
