MS Eurodam & MS Nieuw Amsterdam Sail-Away- March 23, 2014

[Vict0riann]

I've been on Eurodam twice, but never on the NA. Does anyone have a preference, one over the other, or are they pretty much the same?

[Mumsysailor]

Say "see ya later" to the guy on the beach under the umbrella. :D

[aliaschief]

Welcome all. Almost missed it myself.:eek: An early departure is nice for a change.

I haven't sailed on anything larger than the S and R classes.

They are pretty much the same, but I prefer the decor of the Nieuw Amsterdam. The Eurodam's Atrium sculpture is just plain ugly in my opinion. It looks like a stalagtite that stopped growing and then someone spilled paint on it.

That description is being kind. Most folks think it looks like a giant prophylactic!

Ha Ha! I felt pretty much that way about the "candycane" in the middle of the Volendam! We'll have to look for something interesting on the NA - I do love the Tamarind.

Okay, we've untied but now moving. What is happening?

[erewhon]

NA seems to be in a holding pattern - ?waiting on passengers.

LOL! Never thought of that!

I think we're just down to 2 and 1, the little white truck is still there - maybe soon!

 

Letting go!

Surely not doing muster drill as ship leaving.

[aliaschief]

Starting to sound like they got a little ahead of themselves and had not yet finished Muster.

The Nieuw Amsterdam's Atrium sculpture is of the New York skyline on the top side with a mirror image of the skyline on the bottom side. I thought it was kind of neat and very appropriate for this ship.

 

Check out the real New York taxi in Club HAL.

[erewhon]

Away now.

[Vict0riann]

If Captain is in a good mood, maybe there will be lots of toots!

[PathfinderEss]

Wow, almost missed, NA in a hurry.:D

and she is underway.

When we were on NA few others realised the connection between the huge mosaic of New York and the wording underneath saying New Amsterdam. :cool:

[0bnxshs]

Made it in time!

[erewhon]

We have not heard from Krazy Kruiser for a bit - is she at sea?

[PathfinderEss]

Are we looking for anyone on either ship today?

[PathfinderEss]

I was wondering that too! She seems to have been absent for the last couple of weeks.

[CruiseWhere]

I have no volume :mad:

Try refreshing the PEW window.
