Rare TiogaCruiser Posted June 27, 2019 Author #153 Share Posted June 27, 2019 We just had one of the most beautiful sail aways I have been to. Geirangerfjord is spectacular. I’ll catch up later but just wanted to post a few pix. HAL put on a Sail Away party that was quite nice. Hot appetizers (including bitterballen, satay, pigs in blankets) and complementary drinks. Several staff members were also on hand. All this set in the scenic fiord. Wow. All I can say is if you are heading to Norway definitely consider Geiranger. Tonight we received a third drawing in a series on Prinsendam. Really nice. More later when I can easily get to my DSLR pictures. These were taken with my phone and they have a lot to be desired. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeLover Posted June 27, 2019 #154 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Tioga, now I am sorry that I am not there with you. I love Gerainger! And all the “goodies” you are receiving. I will be anxiously awaiting your stories of what you did there! Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare TiogaCruiser Posted June 27, 2019 Author #157 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Just got back from the Indonesian Crew Show (first time I’ve gone) and really loved it. We sat out on the covered aft and watched Norway go by until we made a big turn and we were suddenly windward. The cold dampness overcame the wool blanket’s ability to keep out the cold so we went in. We made a dent in the brown cheese and the Norwegian chocolate we got today and succumbed to the soft mattress and rocking and creaking of the ship. You could hear the water and wind softly slap the side of the ship. Gosh, I love forward and low cabins. So a few hours later we got up in time for the show. Tomorrow is Flam and another promising sail in. I’ll probably post a brief update and fill in later. ~TC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare TiogaCruiser Posted June 29, 2019 Author #159 Share Posted June 29, 2019 In Bergen, atop Mt Floyen. Our little Prinsendam parked near her cousin the former Statendam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted June 29, 2019 #160 Share Posted June 29, 2019 It has been quite a few years since we stayed up for the crew show. Always ended up watching it on TV. Great pictures -- especially of the Prinsendam and the former Statendam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted June 29, 2019 #161 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Fabulous pictures Tioga! nice shot of the Prinsendam and her cousin, too 🙂 Sail a way sounds like a terrific, scenic time. I am sure the crew show was memorable for them as well as the passengers. Last one they will do together. Your cruise has certainly turned out to be a special one indeed 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe we may have heard them salute each other when former Stantendam left the dock. We were in town at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am curious as to whether Vasco da Gama will visit any ports here, while she is "down under" will have to look at the cruise ship schedules for some of our ports.
