When the “ding dong” comes into your room, you know it’s gonna be something dramatic. I won’t steal your thunder and I’ll allow you to share with the crowd what just happened…

[TxTeach79]

Captain’s announcement just shook the ship to its core 

 

 

[TxTeach79]

Amsterdam it is! Honestly, we’re excited

I view it as an upgrade. I wasn’t planning on going to Paris since it’s such a long bus ride each way. Le Havre didn’t look too exciting. Amsterdam you dock right in the city center. 
 

I’m sure some people will riot because they won’t be able to get their Eiffel Tower selfie, but I’m actually very excited about the change.

Same. Just today we changed our tour from Paris on your own to  Deauville once we realize we’d love the small towns more and likely be back to Paris without needing 6 hours on the bus  honestly, Amsterdam, where we dock in the middle of the city, is a gift  i couldn’t be happier with this captain and with Carnival

Yup. I was expecting that announcement to end with “I hope you enjoy your day at sea on Wednesday” but I actually cheered out a “yes!!!” when he said Amsterdam. I wonder what the reception is overall. I’ve heard/seen people boo or scream in public venues when  itinerary changes have been announced on other cruises. 

[TxTeach79]

Now THAT IS HOW YOU CELEBRATE

same. I’ve done this enough to have fully expected a sea day. And I’d have understood. But Amsterdam?!? What a treat. Well damn done, Captain Vito

[TxTeach79]

Honestly most people I’ve talked to are buzzing and happy. Big night on the Pride, guys. WYWH

[TxTeach79]

The shipyard name behind the lobby bar. Cool.

I don't want to speculate, but last year on Pride, our "Amsterdam" port was really Ijmuiden, a 35 minute taxi ride from Amsterdam. I hope your port is actually Amsterdam.

 

In either case, here is helpful information: https://www.whatsinport.com/Amsterdam.htm

Oooh, I didn’t realize Amsterdam had an alternate port. I hope we get the good one…

Reloading in the room = value

thanks for that. TBD I guess.

It's not showing on either schedule yet, but both have availability. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Amsterdam: https://sea.cruiseportamsterdam.com/cruise-calendar/

Either way, enjoy Amsterdam! It was my favorite port stop. Take a canal cruise. We loved https://flagshipamsterdam.com You can pay on board; you don't need tickets in advance. Boats leave about every 15 minutes.

We also went to Anne Frank Haus and the Van Gogh Museum, but booked both weeks in advance. Both are sold out unfortunately.

Ok. This is crazy fun. But B shut it down at 3:30, which is par for the course… wish she was here. Gonna go get some food, crash, and we’ll figure out Amsterdam tomorrow.
