Good afternoon from AMS Schiphol airport. We disembarked NSDM at 7.15 this morning and met our tour bus. We had a slightly delayed tour departure as two pax did not arrive. The guide announced that they were in isolation on the ship! 😱 We took a tour to Keukenhof and then to the airport. Here is where the ship was docked this morning... and here is a pic of Keukenhof...

After lunch we came back to the stateroom and there was a message from the front desk reminding us that we still had unused non refundable obc. Nice touch!

Today's menus MDR Lunch on another sea day. (Again a different file name so could be a different menu!) MDR Dinner Lido lunch Lido dinnet Lido late snack

I must confess to foresaking bread pudding on our last day and bingeing on chocolate cake and strawberry ice cream.

Today in Lido was Cake Away. It was mentioned on the Daily.

Saturday4th May at sea English Cannel/North Sea May the fourth be with you! Here is our position a short time ago as you can see we really are cruising...... a full 9 knts of speed.

We had a great Canaletto dinner last night with Tony, Martha, Fred and Mitzi. Our server Joan (pronounced Jo Ann - isn't that a smart way to get oldies to remember your name? 😉) was top notch. Nothing was too much trouble for her....she got us cocktails from Tamarind and even arranged a main course of risotto only for Ellen, as nothing else on the menu appealed to her. Joan is leaving NSDM but will return in a few months in her new position in Pinnacle Grill. We started with a full house of small plates (that is the advantage of being a table for 6) and extra shrimp and extra meatballs were automatically put on the table. Shaing a salad can be fun, but overall there was plenty for everyone. (I forgot to take photos!) 🙄 For mains we selected some from the menu and some from off menu. Spaghetti Bolognese (off menu) Risotto (off menu) Lobster with spaghetti ($19 upcharge) The lobster was excellent.

Following a "fruity" Let us Know message it is now working again onboard NSDM 😉

You could not make this up! Today it is not working on the ship. It is linking to the moap page, so nothing!

It was added to the list on the last update.

Good morning from Nieuw Statendam, currently off the south coast of England and sailing towards Rotterdam. Out last day onboard 😭😭

There is an actual UK website based on UK £ Sterling currency and the protections afforded to those who book travel in the UK.
