Thanks, Kathi. Unfortunately, Ugly will be blocking out view until she very sloooooowly backs out. Nothing new there.

I envy all of those leaving on Rotterdam today and in the future. My wife and I were on board for 11 days (12/01/21) and it was over way too fast.

I'm curious the passenger count for Rotterdam....and the staff too!  I wonder if NA's staff will be allowed to move over to the Rotterdam without having to quarantine?

So from what we were told by Nick, our wonderful, fabulous, etc etc Trivia Master from Belgium, there are staff on NA who have been tested, that will be coming over to Rotterdam today. 

 

There were several hundred guests that were invited to transfer to Rotterdam as well and he was aware not many are coming. We should have about 1000 guests.

 

If I remember, I'll come back and give the exact number.

We are scheduled for the Feb I 5th NA cruise.  Holland website shows nothing for the NA till February 19th.  If you look up NA on the Holland website it also brings up the Rotterdam.  With this weeks cancellation of the NA and Move over to the Rotterdam what does everyone think  the same is going to happen for the Feb 5 cruise

TIA Keith

If NA is taking "healthy" isolators, and Noordam is getting the sick (or tested-positive) ones, perhaps we will be able to tell how the ships are doing, covid-wise.  Poor cruise lines must be getting overwhelmed with all the people needing quarantine.

Did the NA pax that transferred over to the Rotterdam stay on the NA last night or did HAL put them up at hotels? Just curious! Thanks!

[waiting2retire]

It was just reported on another thread that pax transferring to the Rotterdam today were put up in a Fort Lauderdale hotel overnight. Makes sense since the NA looked pretty deserted when she sailed away yesterday.
