If you look close, you can see the A-Deck crew gangway still connected

[rkacruiser]

Maybe my memory is incorrect or maybe the camera angle is wrong, but I recall seeing "Holland America Line" painted on the superstructure aft of the lifeboats. I do not see that now.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Getting close to 5:45.

It's resting on a set of three dark blue wooden steps and ramp belonging to the port

reminds me of a Prinsendam sail a way. The only ship there and delayed. Nothing like suspense for the last sail a way of the season :)

[Krazy Kruizers]

Bon Voyage!!

Yes -- Maasdam went back into Code Red a couple of days ago.

Remember that she came of dry dock and had to get a lot of supplies loaded.

Same thing happened with the other ships when they came out of dry dock -- delayed.

Copper, Is Captain Fred Eversen at the helm?
