I think I know whom you’re talking about… We were on a tour with her as well . When I tried helping her when her cane got caught getting off the bus , she gave me the dirtiest look possible….. 👹 .

I’m sorry for anyone whose travel plans are being frustrated by these measures, but is it a cruise lines responsibility? Do airlines provide free testing for , say , connecting flights to countries that require a test ? It seems to me that now mask mandates etc. are not strictly enforced or are not in place anymore, the virus is on the rise again. When I took my Eurodam cruise last September, everyone , no exceptions , wore a mask . We were tested a day before disembarkation and among the 900 pax , there were no positives. Again sorry for everyone who’s affected, but we can all take our responsibility to keep the virus in check.

Don’t be surprised if you open the “ Dutch” website that part of it is mixed with German…. or English. This website is an absolute joke. If it works that is.

The city of amsterdam is actively trying to ban cruiseships from the citycenter. They have plans to move the cruiseterminal to …. the waterlandterminal. All the way in the western harbour. The HAL should just come to Rotterdam, we’ve had 3 cruiseships in port at the same time . No problem!

We did this itinerary in 2019 , oceanview on Dolphin Deck. Two decks up and you are outside , on a wide open promenade deck. Been on the R and S class ships for most of our cruises and love them. The Zaandam is a nice ship. Comfy library, the rear decks on deck 3, 6 and 7 as well as the possibility to get to the bow area and the observation area on deck 6 forward and of course the Lido and sports and sun deck gives you a lot of outdoor space.
