Nice find Lisa! She's huge; just look at that starboard side dive board with al least four guys standing on it. Also eleven (22 total) lifeboats/tenders with the tenders appearing to be a new model. Bridge wing appears larger also

Yeah, she'll be nice. We're getting in Civitavecchia the day you're leaving so I'm planning on visiting her that day :)

Thx Lisa

We may see you, I would say I wish we could meet but I have HAL transfers from our hotel to the ship and I have not idea what time they are going to get us there. But maybe I can catch you on board :)

Great fun. Exciting. :)

We're talking 15 APR 16, correct?

We disembark on the 15th we are on the first 7 days the 8th through the 15th, are you on the AMDM? We are staying an extra night at the end at the Visconti Palace. Trying to decide on if we will get a tour ot take the transfers to the hotel. Maybe we could still catch up.

Showing some speed during the night....

 

 

 

A respectable 22.9 kts :D

The distinctive stairwell that leads from the Lido deck 9, to Panorama deck 10 on the outside way aft, is clearly visible in the end of the footage! :)

Echo the thanks to Lisa. We're all on the Norway cruise in May, full of anticipation, and keeping all fingers crossed!

Thanks for the link!

 

It looks to me like the shipyard has repainted the Koningsdam funnel with the new HAL logo. I'm guessing the bill for that was bigger than what Capt. Card changed to update his painting to be placed on board Koningsdam. ;)

I'm putting into a quote for changing the funnels on all my paintings.

 

Re Repainting on vessels

 

Ships: 13 ships.

 

Funnels: 19 funnel logos ( 2 funnels each Vista & Signature ships)

 

Paint and materials:

 

Travel expenses. From Bermuda to each embarking port.

 

Neptune Suite:

 

Painting time:

 

Drying time:

 

 

 

Will be very costly.... I guess at least 6 months cruising. :D

[shrimp56]

Good one Topsham.

 

What a lovely clear horn. Worthy of HAL

Lovely. Maybe Captain Van Eerten (sp?) will get assigned to her for the Ft. Lauderdale season and the Queen of Toots will be replaced by the King of Toots.

Thanks Lisa

 

Now I'm really getting excited ! The sound of her horn blowing is phenomenal. Can you see your stateroom [emoji3]

Yes this got me really excited and sunk in a bit more. The Horn is definitely worthy of HAL. Looking forward to finding more videos.

I have one of the aft AS cabins on deck 7 so unfortunately no did not see it, I was hoping we would see her sail past so we could see the aft.

It is little stuff like this that HAL is missing out in making the anticipation more exciting. Unfortunately HAL's lead up to the Koningsdam has been rather lame.

[colonialinnkeeper]

Thanks, Lisa. Great detective work.

 

We were able to see our balcony from the video and now even more excited with counting down. HAL is missing out on great PR.

[TylerRose]

Each posting excites me further. Thank you all for the uodates!
