Went to Rio de Janeiro and back, up and down the Amazon to Manaus, on the Voyage of the Vikings to Amsterdam, to various ports in the Carib and to the Canada/New England ports out of Boston, Mass. She always came through! Great memories of a fine ship! We too remember her with fondness. Our first HAL ship was Noordam III, but we've taken several on Maasdam, including at least four in the Caribbean (two from Norfolk, VA after 9/11), a trans-Pacific followed by circum-Oz cruise, and a Hawaii/French Polynesia cruise out of San Diego. We always took the same cabin, which had its kinks, but suited us just fine. Dave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
