Golfette Posted June 4, 2008 #551 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Well, Golfette..... He did it! We're booked! I'm going out of my mind with excitement. What a month of travel this will be! Thank gawd that Dom is arranging most of this. We'll probably be eating in the dining room every evening, make good use of the Neptune Lounge, and take about a zillion candid photos! :) "So many Topless Decks, so little time! ;)" Too funny! I am just thrilled for you. Will you be posting from the ship - don't think I can wait til you get back to hear about it. What a great guy Dom is - give him a pat on the back for me!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great guy Dom is - give him a pat on the back for me!:) Hello, my friend. :) You know, in all of our cruises, I've never done a "live from". That's a possibility.... :confused: I usually just type a journal on the laptop, then post it upon our return. One thing I'll guarantee you is ALOT OF PHOTOGRAPHS! People, places and things! Dom is picking up another memory card for me when I'm in Ireland next week. It'll be so fun to place faces with names! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaofami Posted June 4, 2008 #553 Share Posted June 4, 2008 My guess is it's roped off before the ship leaves the dock. I did see the Noordam's stairs open one day when we were in port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol, my guess is you are correct they will do the same with this. The only time it will be open is when they are docked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a pair of jeweled flip flops one day in Palm Beach. Everyone was wearing them. I'll try to find out the name of the store an maybe they can be bought on line. I think you would be able to get away with wearing them in the dining room. Cindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alonzo14 Posted June 5, 2008 #558 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I can't believe it! I think that Dom is ready to book an SC GUARANTEE for the July 5th sailing! :eek: A travel agent just "returned his call". Unfortunately for him, he wasn't home! OMG- I get a feeling this might be an "over the top" 20th anniversary present! :D I'm going out of my mind.....WOW! That would be great!!!! We celebrated our 35th Anniversary last year in an SC on deck 5. LOVED the balcony. It was almost like having our own deck. I don't know about the Eurodam's corner SC's but with the suite perks and extra room you will really enjoy it!!! Hope you can book it. Have a great cruise!!

I refuse to wear conservative foot ware whilst vacationing! Please post or send me a link to their site. (I'm picturing several lovely long dresses that would look great with 'em) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevNeal Posted June 6, 2008 #561 Share Posted June 6, 2008 And now for some more pictures of the lovely, still evolving Eurodam. Ah, yes ... just add water! Now ... how cool is THAT!? Eh? Walk THROUGH the water sculpture!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhannah Posted June 6, 2008 #563 Share Posted June 6, 2008 She is certainly going to be a sight to behold! On an unrelated note ... I wonder if HAL is planning on having a selected person be the first paying passenger to board the ship on 2 July? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Copper10-8 Posted June 6, 2008 Author #565 Share Posted June 6, 2008 There was some discussion recently about Eurodam having the first large group of Indonesian waitresses in her Tamarind restaurant. Here's a pic of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevNeal Posted June 6, 2008 #566 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Indeed ... and ... will that be their uniform? :) Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtl513 Posted June 6, 2008 #567 Share Posted June 6, 2008 There was some discussion recently about Eurodam having the first large group of Indonesian waitresses in her Tamarind restaurant. Here's a pic of them A bevy of beauties ... except the tall, bald one in the back with the glasses! :) Some of them look like they're well above that 5'6" minimum. Have any of them been spotted in PG's around the fleet for training? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growler Posted June 6, 2008 #570 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Pop quiz;) : who can identify the HAL ship's model they've successfully surrounded in this pic? Looks a lot like the Zaandam to me...but I'm not an expert on such matters :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Copper10-8 Posted June 6, 2008 Author #571 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Is it the Prinsendam? Thought about Prinsendam II also;) but the area aft of Prinsendam's stack is shorter than appears in the model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Copper10-8 Posted June 6, 2008 Author #572 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Looks a lot like the Zaandam to me...but I'm not an expert on such matters :o I think it might be a "R" class meaning Zaandam or Volendam and not Rotterdam or Amsterdam who have twin stacks. It's kinda hard to tell in the pic but it looks like the model's lifeboats are recessed into the hull like the "S" and "R" classes. The "S" have an angled stack though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevNeal Posted June 6, 2008 #574 Share Posted June 6, 2008 The Captain beat me to it ... there are only two ships in the current fleet that it could be: The Zaandam or the Volendam. Both have stacks that look like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
