Current Captains

Copper,

 

I would appreciate knowing who will be the Captain, Hotel Director, and Cruise Director on the Amsterdam during the 2017-2018 holiday cruise from San Diego to Port Everglades.

 

Thank you!

Thanks so much for posting the current listing Copper :)

 

So Dag is back on the Prinsendam? Interesting. He has filled in a few times. Has he now been reassigned to HAL and the Prinsendam. Seems like a good fit :D

 

I am so jealous! I wish I was on the Prinsendam right now!!! Captain Dag is the best.:)

Copper, we are on the Nieuw Amsterdam out of Ft Lauderdale to Eastern Caribbean on November 11th (first time we have booked a cruise less than 30 days out!). Can you confirm who the key staff will be on that (CD, Captain and Piano Bar entertainer if you know). Thank you so much for all you do!

Capt. Rens was funny, gracious, and proud of his Oosterdam.

He was the same on our Westerdam cruises and one heck of a good dancer ;) and horn tooter :):')

 

Seriously, a great captain and always lucky if we sail when he is captain and a true pleasure to sail with.

 

My sister is sailing the Oosterdam on June 5th and it would be wonderful if he were on board, but I suspect that will be his time off.

Hi Tampa Girl; for the 83-day Grand Asia/Pacific that departs the City of Angels on 30 SEP 18 on Amsterdam, Captain Fred Eversen, with HAL since 1982, is scheduled to be in command. He did the same for the 2017 Grand Asia/Pacific

We are sailing on the 1st of Feb from AKL to SAN on the Maasdam & on the 20th May Copenhagen on Zuiderdam.

Hi Copper,

 

We just returned from the New Year's cruise on the Rotterdam. The captain was Ryan C. Whitaker and the Hotel Director was Mustafa Gulbahar. CD was Erica (one more week for her).

 

My husband Bill says hi and Semper Fi - we met you on the Amsterdam last June in Alaska....he broke his foot in Homer on a tour.

 

Thanks for your time compiling this list!

Enjoyed Capt. Darin while on the Kdam's Trans Atlantic last Oct. His noon time pontification about naval history in a clear Canadian dialect was fun to listen to.

Hope to run into him again
