Happily@Sea Posted April 29 #53 Share Posted April 29 Nieuw Amsterdam tomorrow - about same time frame / a little earlier. Thanks all, plus our cameraperson. Thanks, Leanne, for getting us started for the 2024 season. I've been here 2 hours now - need to get other stuff done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leerathje Posted April 29 Author #55 Share Posted April 29 Well, that's about it for today! Nieuw Amsterdam tomorrow. I believe it's only two ships in port tomorrow, as the Bliss had problems leaving Vancouver yesterday. L. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Crew News Posted May 1 #58 Share Posted May 1 I was told by crew members that the Captain was a last minute substitute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grnIone Posted May 9 #59 Share Posted May 9 Koningsdam docked where she did so she could plug in and not put out air pollution. Yes. The captain on board Paul Adams got on in Hilo after the original captain went home on compassionate leave. The "substitute" is highly experienced, also has an ice pilot license and teaches at the Maritime academy in the Netherlands 3 months of the year and captains a ship another 3 months. He took us through a very narrow portion of the Inside Passage on the way back to Vancouver, one that reportedly hadn't been used by HAL for years. The tides were just right to squeak under power lines and make a sharp turn. It was a great cruise. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
