Rare bluesplayer Posted March 24, 2022 #229 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Really enjoy your posts with menus. Would you please post if room service breakfast is available on day you disembark? (sorry to say that word). This sounds like a fantastic itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you see Henk, please tell him hello from John and Diane. I think that you said you are on deck 8 just under the Lido. We have a guarantee for 2023 but no definite room assignment yet. I was wondering how the noise was—one of us is a light sleeper and the other can sleep through any. Another question if you have time: I’m a pickle ball player and am curious to how the wind seems to be up there. The sports deck on the Amsterdam wasn’t great, but on the newer ships not too bad. Again thanks for your great blog. I think we last saw you guys at the hotel at the Sydney Airport before flying home—what an adventure! Pickle ball update. today is a sea day. We are traveling at 14 knots Watched the pickle ball players They said conditions not ideal but playable. Wind is a factor as it swirls. They were having fun. There was the occasional shot that would accelerate or quickly fade if it caught a gust. But overall I would say it was playable albeit not ideal. one person who was on Amsterdam said they had 2 courts - with one being more protected. this single court, aft of the stack, is affecting by swirling, unpredictable winds. here is a video IMG_0046.MOV 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCB is on the Nieuw Statendam and has been enjoying Affligem Beer in the Grand Dutch Cafe. It is also a draft beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare TiogaCruiser Posted March 25, 2022 #244 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Do you know if the crew is allowed to get off for some port time? We get on Zuidie when you get in to San Diego, and I was thinking about bringing some treats/ snacks onboard for our stewards, etc. We’re driving to port.

tennisbeforewine Posted March 25, 2022 #247 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Thanks so much for the pickleball video, Pete. Wind is definitely a factor.

They do get time off, but they’ve absolutely loved the cans of Pringles I’ve passed out to my cabin and dining room stewards. They did try to get off in some ports, but this has been a long cruise and not all ports are easy shopping 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
