The guide is John Reid and the company is https://tenerifeprivatetours.com/ He is a very interesting guy and not only does he know the island's geography, history and politics but he can share his knowledge in a warm and interesting way. He is also a published author. https://reidten.blogspot.com/2013/07/pirates-of-canarrean.html

HAL should be embarrassed with their internet booking process

Do I dare to ask for Country Music options on HAL?

https://countrymusiccruise.com/ Their 2025 Charter on Nieuw Amsterdam January 19 - 26 I love their listing of "Activities" 😉 There is a good country song in there somewhere. -
The Fleet Report and Daily for Monday May 6th, 2024
VMax1700 replied to kazu's topic in Holland America Line
Good afternoon from home. Here is home's postion this morning as we docked.....(what am I talking about????🙄) Also the 'Daily' has not been delivered yet and there are no menus available on any device or on the tv. Never mind 'No Diet Day' it already feels like 'No Food Day'. We both have the shakes from C.W.S. (Cruising Withdrawal Syndrome!) DD left essentials for us, but we have to prepare and cook ourselves. Let me see now,,,,,,www.hollandamerica dot com......click....that should help! Have a great day everyone. P.S. we arrived home last night after a great cruise and it really is no diet day, but it will start tomorrow.- 98 replies

The Fleet Report and Daily for Sunday May 5th, 2024

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...- 79 replies

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.
