Rare Vict0riann Posted November 22, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 22, 2018 This is cruise-related, I promise! We had an email from HAL a few days ago: So off we went today to find something orange to wear. Pat picked out a tie at the Bay, and I got an orange "pashmina" off a mall stand. In the Bay, the saleslady was very interested in our "orangeness" and mentioned that she had been in Amsterdam this year for the King's birthday, and the city was a sea of orange hair! So we've missed out there. I'm kind of wondering if this orange party is more of an inauguration of the new Club Orange. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare puppycanducruise Posted November 22, 2018 #2 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Sounds like you should try dying your hair orange.😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted November 22, 2018 #3 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Well it's not "King's Day" in December but since it is a HAL ship, orange makes sense to me 😉 Especially for the 1st cruise 😉 enjoy the new ship and her inaugural/maiden voyage.

Rare Btimmer Posted November 22, 2018 #4 Share Posted November 22, 2018 When we were just on the Maasdam a few weeks back, there was lots of Orange for sale in the shops. I purchased an Orange HAL shirt on the Volendam last year and will have it for the inaugural Nieuw Statendam voyage. I suspect the NS will have lots of Orange for sale on board.

Krazy Kruizers Posted November 22, 2018 #7 Share Posted November 22, 2018 You might want to find an orange blouse or top in case the day they select to wear orange falls on a Gala night and have a party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodworker&knitter Posted November 23, 2018 #10 Share Posted November 23, 2018 In 2013 we were on the Statendam, and there was an Orange Ball to celebrate the induction of the new King, when his mother abdicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlsSalt Posted November 23, 2018 #11 Share Posted November 23, 2018 One word; EBay. Lots of fun items in orange for a few dollars and even free shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted November 23, 2018 #12 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I wouldn't need to shop. A nice Halloween tshirt with an owl on it would do. Compliments of WalMart several years ago. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare *Miss G* Posted November 24, 2018 #15 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Sounds like you’re going to enjoy a special voyage! If you had time you could get these shoes from Amazon. They are super comfortable! See if you can find out why Captain Darin Bowland is no longer the Take-Out Master. Have a wonderful time Ann! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlsSalt Posted November 24, 2018 #16 Share Posted November 24, 2018 (edited) Requests for a bit of orange always brings out these crowd favorites: (When I first visited Holland in the 1960s, men did wear black button up pants, wear wooden shoes and work out in the canals filled with Dutch Iris along with working windmills. Just like the story books said it would be. And every corner had an outdoor pickled herring stall. Edited November 24, 2018 by OlsSalt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
