travelnap Posted February 10, 2019 #184 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Didn't see a zoom to pick out the pink shirts on the back of the Lido deck, so I missed them, but saw a lot of people waving from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible to go from a "S" class to a "P" class so quickly? Noel was master of the Koningsdam last year. He was master during the time that Captain Albert was also onboard preparing to join the Nieuw Statendam. We were onboard in October and he was master. we had a nice Bridge visit while in Cadiz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Copper10-8 Posted February 10, 2019 #196 Share Posted February 10, 2019 So , a question for those of your subscribe/have the upgrade on PTZ: do you still get the delay (I'm still looking at Silhouette making the turn for the channel) or is everything live?

When they have a lot of viewers on either cameras mine sometimes freeze up and have to be rebooted. Usually if the numbers are below 1,000 viewers they seem to work ok. The marine traffic is delayed a couple of minutes from the actual picture almost all of the time Copper. I don't have the upgraded PTZ so maybe theirs are real time.

Yes, Father, I think you will like the ship. Be prepared for art that is quite different from the other Classes of ship. Very interesting and some makes me wonder what the artist was trying to say. Be sure to try Sel de Mar, if possible. Excellent service and the best dinner I had aboard. The Grand Dutch Cafe is a winner; really enjoyed their Grilled Ham and Edam (I think) Cheese Sandwich as well as the Pea Soup. Never had room for the Dutch Apple Pie, but it surely looked delicious.
