How Dare Holland America...

...make their souvenir coffee mugs hand wash only!

 

I was running dishwater to wash them when I got distracted thinking about my recent trip on Westerdam and how much I miss being aboard the ship, when the water ran out of the sink and onto the floor.

 

If this were the Carnival forum I'd be demanding a free cruise with the Explorations Cafe included in exchange for the inconvenience.

 

But, since this is the HAL forum I'll just say how much I want to be back on the ship, Especially during the holidays since I have no family or partner to spend them with. Unfortunately our company policy does not allow vacations on holiday weeks.

Merry Christmas Mike and a Happy New Year from the Cincinnati OH area. I hope you have smooth sailing in 2016.

Forcing you to hand wash a mug? That's terrible! I think it's time to call a prestigious law firm and demand a free cruise.

 

Merry Christmas.

 

Smooth Sailing ! :) :) :)

Merry Christmas, Mike, from your CC Family members in Canada!

 

You scared me with your thread title!! I hope the floor was easy to mop up!

Well, that heading was one way to get the attention of all of us "cheerleaders!" :D Wishing you plenty more DAM opportunities in the New Year!!

When I took my HAL mug out of the dishwasher lately, I noticed a lot of the fine details on the print were gone .....

Yep, I'm not a big fan of the new logo or "Savor the Journey" I actually talked about this with a guy in the Galleria on Westerdam last month. They hadn't been notified of either change.

 

Thanks everyone for the holiday wishes. I sincerely hope all of you have a great season giving you many memories to cherish.

To me the "Savor the Journey" motto change form "Signature of Excellence" means little, but I thought the old logo with Henry Hudson's Half Moon image over the blue bow did mean something. And I'm sorry to see them giving up on their history. Just like I was sorry to them take out the beautiful delft tile panorama in the Maasdam's Explorer's Lounge. What'll be next? Dutch chocolates? Fresh flowers?

 

Oh well, I guess we'll just have to Savor the Memory :)

 

Wishing all the CCers an inspiring 2016. Fair winds and following seas! m--

Merry Christmas Mike!

If you were in Indy we'd have you join my family Christmas Eve for dinner at Sangiovese. Hope you find an equally happy place to spend your holiday.
