Just so you are not surprised, there is no Suite or CO priority tendering in Half Moon Cay.  Not certain if there are any other ports where this is the case as well.

True.

Her hull is white...I was on the 'Nox three weeks ago and sailed by her as she was anchored

The new Wonder of the Seas arrives in Port Everglades at 6pm Sunday evening. 

Nieuw Statendam departure from Port Everglades, Sunday, Feb 13, 2022

Our triplet grandkids, now aged 13, love HAL and are 2 star Mariners. They also have status on Princess and Celebrity, but given the choice, they prefer HAL. They do not need the bells and whistles on RCI and look forward to formal nights, theater performances, Half Moon Cay, and time in Club HAL.

I had a similar problem with my Global Entry application years ago. I have a "Mc" last name and couldn't find my online account. Turns out, the government inserts a space after the Mc and before the next portion of the name, for example Mc Farland instead of McFarland. While booking an international airline ticket, I failed to enter the space on the ticket and a sharp eyed agent caught it while I was checking in for the flight (giving me a hard time). To add to the name complications, my husband goes by his middle name, and sometimes places his first initial in front of it. There is a lesson here for new parents naming babies to consider this and to keep it simple and straightforward.

She departed around 10:30 and sailed by our apartment at that time.

As a Broward resident, I emailed her to thank her.

Thank you for reposting my photo. 

If you select a NordVPN server in The Netherlands, you will be able to access HAL's website. However, US servers are blocked.

The Nieuw Amsterdam looks lovely with all her lights on.

That was just great. Wonderful to hear it live and blast our horn right back at 'em.

 And they're off!

We met a well-traveled couple a few years ago who casually mentioned over cocktails that "Mother" loved to cruise,. So that Mother could continue to cruise, her cremains always came along.

Captain Schuchmann will be on for the handover as Copper stated.

 

Copy and pasted from  the HAL Blog from Captain Albert, here is the schedule:

 

Prinsendam:

Captain Dag Dvergastein 30 September 2018 – 04 January 2019

Captain Robert Schuchmann 04 January 2019 – 12 april 2019

Captain Dag Dvergastein  12 April 2019 – 20 May 2019

Captain Robert Schuchmann  20 May 2019 for hand over to Phoenix Reisen

Yes, I'd seen that. Just wondered if there any updates. There are a few cabins available on the June 17th sailing and though we visited the North Cape on the Elegant Explorer last July with Captain Dag, we are considering it again. Many thanks!
