MS Eurodam,Nieuw Amsterdam, Prisendam Sail-Away, Jan. 5, 2014

[Krazy Kruizers]

Sorry, KK, there was apparently confusion on board. PAX received a notice of delayed sailing due to maintenance, but apparently the problem was handled quickly and it's just the Prinsendam left in port.

So is Prinsendam supposed to be leaving at 10 now?

 

The latest schedule has it back at 11. Lou and Dave, if you're still there a zoom on the Prinsendam would be nice.

 

Thanks

Roy

Bet not, your going to get the same as you did last night for the Amsterdam.

[aliaschief]

She is looking good and would look even nicer if I could be on-board right now.

 

Agree that it mostly will be automatic web cams tonight. The owners and operators deserve time off like any other job. They did leave the one camera focused on Her and thankful for that.

During the earlier sail away, the schedule showed 22:00 hours, so planned to return before 4 pm our time:D

No, do you have a query about Auckland?

[aliaschief]

gigianne doing a little researching for our 36 day Auckland to Vancouver cruise in 2015? Glad you booked the cruise today it's going to be a great adventure. B.

[gigianne]

Lots of researching to do - we need a hotel recommendation in A - any thoughts?

Depending on your budget, The Hilton is located on Princes Wharf, the Copthorne Hotel Harbour City is across the street from the cruise terminal, if you are staying a few nights Auckland Serviced Apartments on Princes Wharf.

 

You may wish to look at www.wotif.co.nz for descriptions maps etc.

 

Numerous hotels, depends on what your plans are.

So they are still on for 2300 and have a few crew outstanding.

[erewhon]

Prinsendam still waiting for several crew members to arrive, should be there within half an hour.

[rafinmd]

Did anybody recognize the voice? I'm quite sure it wasn't Captain Roberts and it didn't sound like Captain Andre. The staff Captain maybe?

Well the Prinsendam has officially as for 23:00 departure time. They are still waiting for a few crew members

Thanks for posting that. I was on the phone with the credit card company letting them know where I would be travelling. There system is only designed for nine countries or less, so we had to go through the list twice. I heard the Captain saying they would leave in an hour but could not hear the rest. I am not very good at multi-tasking!

at the risk of getting caught by DH (although he might forgive me since it is his favourite ship too), I am slipping in for just a moment to get a glance at her and see what you are all up to :)

 

DH has a problem - he thinks I am addicted. Perhaps he will go to sail - a non meeting soon. anyone knows when they are?:p:p

[lka1012]

Kazu, forget DH, what does Marley think?

I believe they only take place on ships (and he has to bring the addict with him!:)).

LOL - Marley is sound asleep along with Kazu and Fox :D

 

I told him he didn't need to send vibes as I know the ship won't toot at this time of the night and it's best just to get his rest - so I 'ordered' him to bed.

 

It's an early day tomorrow for us - so he will be a happy camper :D

[lka1012]

My crew is snoring at my feet also. As soon as the Prinsendam sails, it will be one last trip outside then to bed for all of us.

[gigianne]

I watched last night until the Amsterdam left - I guess I had better do the same for the P - one of our favourite ships.

[erewhon]

gigianne,

 

FYI : Re tipping, it is not normal to tip in NZ.
