ms Nieuw Amsterdam and ms Rotterdam Port Everglades Sail-Away March 5, 2017

I LOVE the art on the Rotterdam. Terracotta warriors, etc. It's truly unique.

 

Haven't been on her in more years than I care to admit and really looking forward to being back on again :)

 

 

I agree, I did a TA on the Rotterdam a few years ago and loved everything about her except that upper back deck. I didn't care for that.

Last time we sailed her she didn't have the "Retreat". I'll live with it I guess ;)

Totally agree with you! What the "bean counters" had done to the Veendam and Rotterdam was a poor decision. The fact that it was not done to the others of the S- and R- Classes says to me that it was a poor decision.

That is it for me today.

Have to go and lift dinner from the oven.

See you all at the next sail away.

What are we having?

[Happily@Sea]

Ding Ding Ding; You broke RKA's streak of six wins in a row ;)

 

 

I've finished through the HAL ships, just started HAL Subsidiaries and their Fleets. '125 Years of HAL'.

Strange Cruise Critic question while we wait for behemoth to move out of the way. On my laptop I do not have the multiple quote button. On my iPad I do. :confused::confused:Anybody else missing it?

I have the multiple quote button, but it does not work the few times I have tried to use it.

Nope, but it didn't work right for me the time I tried it. [on my desktop]

Yeah that's a great book about HAL's history by Captain Albert. He's a walking HAL history dictionary. He should write a new edition

It also changed on mine, but if you hold the your mouse over the one with two apostrophe signs & the + sign on it, the multiquote looks like it is there.

I have it on both my laptop and ipad. I find I have to double click it on the ipad but only single click on the laptop. weird.

[Scrapnana]

Deep, raspy behemoth toots.

Check out books by William Miller. He is another maritime history author. His books include those about HAL.

3 toots from the allure.

OMG that is an awful horn . Or is it my laptop?

And he is a great speaker, too! His stories bring maritime history alive.

Great Banner - wave to us, it's our first cruise. And they go on a floating city.:)

Already have two; "SS Nieuw Amsterdam" and "Going Dutch" Good reads also!

[Scrapnana]

And then there was one...

[Copper10-8]

No tugs for Rottie as of yet! Perhaps, the wind died down some

[Happily@Sea]

OMG that is an awful horn . Or is it my laptop?

 

 

It's NOT your laptop. :eek:

[erewhon]

Rotterdam underway (without tugs)

[dfish]

OMG that is an awful horn . Or is it my laptop?

 

 

It is an awful horn.

For passenger liner maritime history, the classic is considered to be The Only Way To Cross by the late John Maxtone-Graham. He followed up with Liners to the Sun. Both are excellent reads!
