PS. For those who might have seen last week's Nieuw Amsterdam video, this one has the original live sound complete with horn blasts! :)

Fantastic video. Thank you.

Thanks for the video, I have never sailed on her but will spend 3 weeks aboard in June, looking forward to it. Great job on the movie.

[RevNeal]

Thanks for the link to the video!

It's been seven long months since I was aboard her lovely decks.

She's a BEAUTIFUL ship.

My wife and I watched her leave this evening via our laptop on the patio. It really was spectacular. Don't know what caused her to leave a little late but it worked out to be beautiful. :)

Thanks for the exquisite video -- I could vicariously wave to my friends on board as she left port -- and wish that I were already on board today instead of April 15!

 

Boy, am I ready to sail now!

Thank you for sharing that video. She's a beautiful looking ship. Wondering how much smaller she is than the Maasdam?

[ClevelandOhio]

This is just an amazing video! I can't wait to be back on the Prinsendam this fall. It is my favorite ship.

[bob brown]

Wonderful video, thanks for link!

I never noticed that the Prinsendam has open bridge wings. Looks like a 'real' ship!

Wish I lived in one of those condo's with a view at the inlet!:)

She's a BEAUTIFUL ship.

 

So thrilling to watch--I wanted to crawl right into the screen. I, too, have been counting the months since our last trip to "Top of the World". I'll be on the Ryndam TA 4/10/11,

Thanks for the video, I can't wait to actually be on her in June of 2012, not sure I want to wait that long.

Hello "Randy"

 

I refer to your question about the late departure of the beautiful MS Prinsendam

 

Following Captains Albert’s blog from 12 March 2011, it was "a sudden increase in the amount of toilet paper being loaded".;)

Thanks Gerd! That's funny that Prinsendam was around an hour late getting out of Ft Lauderdale because of toilet paper being loaded (though he does mention other provisions). :) It made for a beautiful sail away from the port cam point of view. I noticed watching it live that there weren't a lot of people on deck but thought maybe they'd had to start dinner on top of it getting dark. Our cruise in a week plus will be the first time we've sailed out of Ft Lauderdale since they changed the US daylight savings time to earlier in March. Should be pretty much full sun if we leave at the scheduled 5 PM. That'll be nice but we've also had some beautiful sunsets off the stern as we left port.

Thank you so much for the link to this video. I have friends on this cruise also. I have shared this with so many people. They can't believe I had this. I just told them it pays to have cruise friends [cruise critic friends]
