Rare boards Posted August 15, 2013 #103 Share Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) We really enjoyed Linda Minnikin on the Maasdam last Dec. We really hoped she would still be there this Dec., but no. Maybe on the Volendam or Oosterdam next Sept. 2014 or 2015, she gets our vote? Edited August 15, 2013 by boards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's going to Statendam and Hawaii/Tahiti next, and will be on Prinsendam for the first half of 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sail7seas Posted August 16, 2013 #111 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Yes it would I have read Captains Log so I am aware of the author and the line he worked for I was also aware that Anthony Haywood was a CD but unsure on which ship.He used to be a frequent face in my living room on my TV and came across as having a great sense of humour,so I am more than happy to learn he will be the CD on my trip Thanks for explaining. :) Have a great cruise. DRM - Hermenegildus Erni Hanzlagut or just "Gildus"COM - Roland Borsje Always subject to change! Enjoy PRDM, Pettifogger! Semper Fi! Never, never, never, JUST Gildus. We miss him so much. Maitre d' extraordinaire. Yes, I know it's now DRM but for us, Gildus will always be an impeccable Maitre d'. We'd be so thrilled to see him again.

ANSalberg Posted August 17, 2013 #120 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Capt. Edward van Zaane, Father It was NICE to read that Edward VanZaane [ and his DARLING wife Apolonia] are still sailing actively. The last time we saw them WAS on the NIEUW Amsterdam but we first knew them on several Grand cruises in the mid-2000s into Asia/Australia, on the Amsterdam and REALLY felt they are special! I don't remember WHY now but on one of the earlier cruises I wrote Apolonia a "Thank You" note for something -and then heard that simply wasn't done; I became known as the "Thank-you note lady!" [ not a bad thing! ] They are a LOVELY and CHARMING couple and I'm glad to hear about them! We'll be on the Amsterdam next month/WWII theme cruise in Asia -I believe FRed Everson is the Captain and we enjoy him too; They SHARED those duties/Capt on the Amsterdam! Memorable cruise; memorable PEOPLE! Thank You, Copper -your information is always welcome! :) Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANSalberg Posted August 17, 2013 #122 Share Posted August 17, 2013 This is our [?] 4th cruise ON HAL/ in Asia/ON the Amsterdam. I assumed when I retired I would 1. be bored 2. quit LEARNING. NONE of that is true and I've LOVED our adventures [PLUS a World Cruise/HAL -that took us thru the red sea/Suez and India and Egypt; which is what makes me sad about the recent politics in the Middle East; There is SO MUCH to see/learn/enjoy. It's called a "Bucket-list" and we've LOVED every minute! Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisinTexans Posted August 18, 2013 #125 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Weird. Our documents said the captain would be Jonathan Mercer.
