Daisyloo Posted March 13, 2016 #27 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Love Captain Albert's blog. It is amazing to read about all the preparations underway. I can't wait to sail on her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamflames Posted March 13, 2016 #28 Share Posted March 13, 2016 The lights in the dining room are beautiful!! Does anyone know if the former Ryndam crew will make up part of the Koningsdam's crew? Just wondered what happened to all of them---scattered out around the other HAL ships? Or maybe now on the new ship? This has probably been asked and answered somewhere, but if so I missed it. They were THE BEST crew. I don't know about that crew but he says the crew is taken from all over the fleet and it is the most experienced members available and this is backed up by what is mentioned by those writing blogs from the world cruise where several of their favourite crew have left to join koningsdam.

teamflames Posted March 13, 2016 #29 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Just read the blog of the 12th, fascinating stuff about the 2 ships in one. No more toilet problems I read so much about on the boards [emoji1] My only worry is like Microsoft and Windows when you change the way you have historically done things there can be catastrophic results ...

Rare Lady Arwen Posted March 14, 2016 #33 Share Posted March 14, 2016 November 13th seems soooo far away! We are so very excited to be sailing Koningsdam....she looks exquisite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ski ww Posted March 14, 2016 #34 Share Posted March 14, 2016 We just got off the Maasdam and two of our waiters left to join the Koningsdam, the wine steward & the assistant waiter. They'll need experienced personnel to bring a new ship into service. It must be an honour to be chosen to join a new ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAL Business Development Team( sales team) Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app They also opened it up to HAL Employees and Vendors and their families. Basically a Shake Down cruise with one port or Croatia. Actually I know of a Business Dev. Rep that will be boarding on the 3rd, they are coming on board for their Annual Meeting. They board in the ship yard. The Koningsdam will actually arrive in Civitavecchia on the 7th and dock over night and the HAL Employees and invited guests will disembark the morning of the 8th. My understanding for the pre-cruise it will be a full ship. The Premier Cruise on the 8th is the first revenue cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if HAL is kicking itself for pushing back the dates when they could have her completed by this weekend it sounds like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LAFFNVEGAS Posted March 14, 2016 #38 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Wonder if HAL is kicking itself for pushing back the dates when they could have her completed by this weekend it sounds like? The original sailing was February so no they did need to push back the sailing :D There were also other things involved in moving back the date, I am thinking it had to do with the Christening of the Ship. Plus I did not take it at all that they would be completed by this weekend. I think they will be pushing it to have it ready by the third when I know some of the first guests come on board.
