Yes, it is the trip to Iceland. We are really looking forward to it. We were on the Amsterdam, sister of the Zaandam, in Alaska 4 years ago. It also got into some small, otherwise inaccessible ports. Sorry that ship is no longer in the fleet, as it was a very comfortable ship.

I really enjoyed your review. We will be on Zaandam for a 25 day cruise at the end of July. This will be our longest cruise ever. Your description of the ship reassures us that it will be a pleasure on this ship.

There are 2 Hyatts inside the airport that can be reached by the AirTran train. If you want to go outside the airport, try the Sheraton on TX-114 about 3 miles away. They will pick you up. Almost all the chains have hotels outside of the airport, mostly on TX-114 and will likely pick you up with a phone call.

Go to You Tube and search for how to do a Covid test. Several people have posted step by step videos of how to do such a test. I have used the Abbot Binax test a couple of times. It is actually quite easy. You will be led through it by a monitor. Just follow his instructions.
