It's Crisp in Boston ......Maasdam

[sail7seas]

A beautiful sunny day for boarding Maasdam today at Black Falcon. A bit crisp but after the heat and humidity we have had, today is most welcome.

 

We are off to Maasdam very shortly and cannot wait.

 

The joy of boarding from our homeport can not be overstated!!! No Airports!!!

 

Hope to arrive at Black Falcon at about 11:00. If all goes as it has on our past cruises from Boston, we should be aboard by 11:15.

Can't Wait!

 

Bye for now.

Have an absolutely wonderful cruise, Sail. I think I'll sit back, close my eyes, and pretend I'm boarding today too! TWO WHOLE WEEKS! What a terrific way to avoid the end of the August heat!

How wonderful to not have to board an airplane! You and DH enjoy ourselves on "your" Maasdam.

Have a wonderful time Sail

 

ENJOY :)

[Pincus]

What a wonderful beginning to your cruise.

 

I look forward to hearing of your experiences on this cruise, mainly because of your many days on HAL. I hope you will address any changes, for the good or the bad, in the ship as a whole.

 

Do enjoy.

Thanks, everyone. Our excitement is building! I wrote to a friend this week that we are as excited boarding each cruise now as we were the first HAL cruise we took. Hope we always keep this enthusiasm.

 

Pincus.... I will, by all means, share my impressions of changes we may or may not find. I'm not sure if I will post from aboard this time, but I surely will when we return.

I could not agree more, I would love to not have to fly to board my ship. Sail I just know you and DH will have a wonderful 2 weeks. I will be thinking of you often:)

It all sounds wonderful Sail. ENJOY!!!! :D

Have a wonderful two weeks, S7S! If I were in Hingham now, I would have come in to Boston to wave as you sail away! ;)

Have a wonderful trip! What cabin are you in? I want to picture all this as I look forward to our trip in about a year.

 

I look forward to hearing every detail!

Bon voyage S7S and hubbie! Have a nice one (but somehow, I know you will;) )

[cruznon]

Have a glorious cruise--two wonderful weeks! I look forward to hearing about your cruise when you return. Bon Voyage!

Sail, by now you've left port and are on your way. I'm in Lenox, Ma, and it's freezing here. You will need those jeans this trip. Have a wonderful two weeks.:)

[happy cruzer]

Enjoy all the features of home port cruising! Wish HAL would come to Galveston or New Orleans. Have great trip!

[RuthC]

It must have been a beautiful sail-away with the fresh, clean air today. Wish I'd been there. :(

By now sail and DH are enjoying their first dinner aboard. Wish I were there for that, too. :(

Have a great time, sail. And you be sure to tell us all about it. Some of us feel reading about it is the next best thing to being there. :)

So glad to hear your back-to-back is starting because I am on the next cruise out of Boston after you return and I can't wait. Tell me any tips to help me out, this is my first HAL cruise. Thanks!!!

[vanders]

Enjoy! You have a brand-new cast that came onboard in Boston, they'll be in the showlounge most of the cruise, expect things like bingo to be moved to the crows nest/ocean bar etc.

 

I still have a few friends on there :D

Enjoy the trip!

Hi Sail!!!! and KK and DHs!

 

We just returned from the airport. I am missing the Maasdam so much already. We had an absolutely wonderful cruise and everyday was better than the day before. We were so blessed with great weather and flourescent blue skies every day. Each and every crew member was just fantastic and we loved the captain!!

 

I wanted to write you and KK a note and leave it with the lady in concierge on your floor, my hubby thought that may not work. We thought about you and KK everywhere we went. I can truly see why you love this cruise so much.

 

Thanks for all of your very helpful and supportive advice. We all really loved the Maasdam and cannot wait to cruise on her again.

Have a great cruise:D Hugs...

[Bruinboy]

Have a great trip. I will be on the Maasdam for two weeks starting in January. I am very much looking forward to hearing your assessment of the Maasdam. This will be our first HAL trip. We have previously been on Princess and Celebrity.
