The lion and book were for sale on ship at half price.  $20 for the lion and maybe? $30 for the book

That lion needs a shirt or something.  He looks "nekkid".  🤣

Hi All,

I would be interested in the book.  I love cruise line history especially the early years.

Has anyone read "The Only Way to Cross" by John Maxtone-Graham?  Really interesting.

 

Have a great day, happytotravel

 I was thinking about Captain Albert yesterday.  I really miss his blog to find out who’ll be the Captain of the Westerdam in June.  I’m glad Holland America is promoting his book!  I hope to purchase it onboard with OBC.  

 

Thanks for posting.

Yes I think I will get it, too! To me, this is the kind of thing that HAL should give customers when they reach a certain milestone, such as 300 day medallion, or 5 star, something like that.

Mary, do they really sell Lewie clothing? I've walked by those tables of orange party stuff but didn't really look closely! 😄

Is that the book they gave you at the PC event in Amsterdam in 2023?

The entertainment director had a shirt on his. I think it was an infant sized shirt

Maybe @POA1 or @Huskerchick could let you know where their buddy Poohby Joe gets his wardrobe tailored?  😉 I would guess that he and Lewie would hit it off!

Great now I need that book!  I got the 175 year Cunard book on the QM2 several years back so this will be a nice companion to that one. 
 

And the lion is adorable. I don’t need it but he’s very cute!!

👍 there was someone on the ‘23 WC that complained repeatedly about not getting that book. If it had been available when we were  onboard, I would have purchased it for the $30 just to shut her up!!

She and her husband are 5* and not PC. They complained so many times (on FB, Cc, and verbally on the ship) about the “horrible 2023 WC.” They were livid that HAL didn’t give everyone the 150 anniversary book.

I think some people are complainers, regardless of what it is, to cold to hot, 😀 and some would be happier if they stayed home. 

I heard guest complain that the temperature out side was to hot, the vender's wouldn't except U.S. Dollars.

Why aren't there berries every day at Lido. And more and more.

The 2023 WC was awesome. Looking at the changes to the 2024 and 2025, I’m glad we were on 2023. I must say though, the way everyone but PC were treated in Amsterdam was definitely the low point and not excusable.  Everything else, however, was fabulous, especially with the state the world was in at the time.

My Mom had a saying about people like that. "they're not happy unless they're miserable."

Why aren’t there more berries?!😄. I love my berries, my waiter tired of me last cruise asking if I ever ate any other dessert except berries - I told him if it made him happy to please add a dollop of whipped cream. So now I have a new favorite dessert.
