I've just discovered what HAL did with some of the souvenir merchandise that didn't (or wouldn't) sell during the shutdown. When visiting a local liquidation sale in Ottawa, Canada yesterday, I couldn't help but notice a number of tables piled high with Holland America merchandise, including mugs, caps, t-shirts, bags marked Panama, Rome, among other destinations.
Who needs to book a cruise when you can buy a new t-shirt and pretend (or dream)?
