Is it possible to see who are the hosts for Club Orange?

I will let you know.  We are going to Tamarind tonight, but CO for breakfast.  

[Vict0riann]

The Daily program for today.  I wonder if we’ll be through dinner in time to go to Cantare.

We have one of those interesting sideways rooms, like we had on Koningsdam.  Somehow this one seems a little smaller, the bathroom definitely is smaller.  But it has a lovely long balcony.  I have my feet up on the bed relaxing from a busy day.

 

There is another long balcony aft of us, and one of those angled balconies ahead of us.

The room is very tidy. Had the baggage not arrived or had Pat been busy tidying everything away??  🤣

It actually doesn’t look like there is one today.  Just the Sailaway party.  I hope they will have one on the other days.

I hope so too.  We are on the May 12 Zuiderdam TA.  Have a fabulous cruise.  Thank you for letting us journey along with you!

Captain is a funny man.  Latest announcement - We’re getting ready to leave, everyone not sailing with us, please get off the ship…”

You're so lucky to have Captain Timmers; we've sailed twice with him and he is a delight!  Can you tell us your cabin number in case some of us would like to have it on another voyage? If you'd rather not give it out, you can let me know later by email

I've stayed at the HIE.  Very convenient to shopping.

 

There's a Priority lounge?  If I have Club Orange can I hang out there?  Of course, I hope to arrive relatively early and be able to just board.

 

My friends are in one of the V verandah cabins with the big, angled balcony.  I'm in an interior.  Hope they won't mind if I live on their balcony. 😁

 

Can't believe I've never made it to Key West.  I've had it on various itineraries and it was always cancelled (either the port stop or the entire sailing).  I'll get there one day, I hope.

You're moving!!!

That is great to get some other impressions of the ship and cruises.  We are mainly stick-in-the-muds, so I will want to hear about a lot of the happenings too!  I am just hoping there will be a Lincoln Center Stage!

We are in 5050 - easy to remember.  It is an exceptional balcony!

The priority lounge I was talking about is in the Terminal building.  You just have to tell the person handing out the boarding passes that you are CO, and you get to go upstairs to a different waiting room and get to be the among the early ones to board.

Typical Harlan causing trouble there on the balcony.

Has anyone on the ship now determined whether Caot. Timmers is staying?

[0106]

@Vict0riannCan you watch TV from the bed in your sideways room?  The balcony is very nice!

My understanding is that he is on for these 5 days, then the new Captain will board.  I’ll try to find out more.

It comes out from the wall quite far, and then swivels.

Enjoy your cruise you two! 🙂

Have a great 5 days everyone! Mitzi and I will be seeing you on April 3rd!
