NS is underway and backing up towards the channel.

Looks like the Nieuw Amsterdam will follow out the Nieuw Statendam.

Good lord, this site is giving me grief today!  It took me more than 20 minutes to get back into it; I kept getting the error:  MySQL server has gone away.  Sure it went away, but where?

It took me almost 30 minutes to get back in.  I even tried going out of everything and rebooting my computer and then still had to keep trying to get back in.  Not an easy day today with both CC and the port cams getting overloaded.

CC is screwed up today; No bueno!

I did the same thing, but it still took forever to reload.

Nieuw Amsterdam ready to follow N Statendam out.

But there's always time for a pop quiz: which invention - think restaurant - did HAL come up with which is now routine on most cruise ships?

[OVgirl]

Lido!

 

[travelnap]

Celebrity also underway so we should have three quick ships in a row for the end of the parade today.

[rafinmd]

Wow!  CC is awful today.  I had hoped to get my post up for yesterday in Iqueque but if things don't improve it will be quite delayed.  I must leave in about 10 minutes for Bolamos second show.

Really?    When did they come up with that?

[fatcat04]

Seriously. That is so cool. HAL came up with the joy that is Lido. My dh is eternally grateful!!

Much quieter sail away today without the TOOTERDAM to show them how to do it.

[IllinoisGirl1978]

My question is did they trademark it or copy write it?

Stand by Ma'am; gotta get my research material out 🤓 but I know the entire Lido concept is HAL's
