Thanks Scrapnana!

This time will be downtown at Island Prime

To watch the Sailaways of Oosterdam and Amsterdam. When we can we try to see them in port and have a terrific view from the restaurant and enjoy the sail!

Our webcam of San Diego is awful 😞

Denise:)

I hope to be there. :D

Thank you for the reminder.

Carole will have to change her signature!:eek:

I wish I could be here tomorrow, but, unless we are snowed in, I have a meeting to go to. It has been snowing all day, but lately changed to rain. Just hope it doesn't freeze overnight.

Whoever is lucky enough to be on the NA after dry dock, please come back and give us a report on how she looks and your impression of the changes. Safe travels!

I always forget about mentioning San Diego sail-aways because the webcam is so horrid. An amazing city like San Diego deserves a better webcam (hint, hint PTZtv). Sounds like you have the best plan to watch Amsterdam and Oosterdam sail-away! Enjoy!

Checking in, don't know if I'll be here for sail away.

Just watched the Koningsdam sail in. They look nice all lite up as the quietly glide into port.

I will do that. Can’t wait to board.

Does anyone know if we will be able to board any earlier on NA on the 20th since she is coming out of dry dock? TIA!

Muster drill on NA is 4 pm, sailaway soon after completed. She will NOT be leaving at 4 pm.

Priority boarding started at 11:40, I was at the Dive In by noon.

Checking in for sailaway having just spent a great 3 weeks on the elegant Maasdam cruising in the Pacific.:)

Patience, lady, patience. :D

I cannot get the local internet in my room, I'm now in the Atrium.

I'll be watching![emoji3]

Give us a teaser. How does she look after her week+ of dry dock?

New carpets, at every elevator hallway entrance there is a silhouette of a ship with an arrow indicating forward [i'm sure it changes with every location] and indicating which side of ship - port or starboard. Taco bar is gone - it might be inside the Lido, but I only stopped for salad. Lido looks the same setup - not anything like the Koningsdam.

Half the window pool area is cabanas, and all new cushions on the loungers. Haven't visited anyplace else yet.

Huge Gingerbread village display in 1st deck Atrium.

The ship is beautiful. Some Lido staff must be new since they weren't sure what to do. Glad we passed up the upsell. Our stern cabin is beautiful. Checked out silk den which is c also beautiful. We were at a cocktail party for 3,4,and 5 star mariners. Free champagne and mimosas. Atrium has Christmas tree and ginger bread house
