OK, that's a lengthy time period so you'll have some crew changes in there; here it goes:

Capt Jeroen Schuchmann, her former long-time staff captain & Ane Jan Smit, formerly of the Maasdam

HD Bart Jan Groeneveld, currently still on Amsterdam & Cees Tesselaar

CD Linda Minnikin all by herself

Always subject to change

That's six separate European itineraries plus a west-bound TA crossing to FLL; enjoy that! :D

[Cruise or Lose!]

That's a bucket-list cruise. Enjoy every moment!

Thanks for the quick reply.

 

We sailed with Captain Schuchman last year as both the Staff Captain and on his first contract as Captain.

 

We also sailed with Cees Tesselaar last year and one time before.

 

Linda Minnikin is another familar name as we were with her on the Prinsendam in 2011.

 

We are looking forward to meeting the other two you mentioned.

 

Thanks for the quick reply. As you probably guessed we like long cruises and the Prinsendam, so I know we will enjoy the cruises. We spent 92 days on her last year.

 

Looking forward to sailing with you in the future.

Enjoy and likewise! Captain Ane Jan Smit is a real nice guy; began his career as an officer cadet on Maasdam and worked his way up to captain. I just worked two months with Bart Jan, another good one

[Cruise or Lose!]

There are bad HAL captains? Do tell!

 

(Kidding, kidding...)

Thanks Copper! This is the 4th time on this itinerary and we love it and the Amsterdam. Celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary (It was in April but 40 years is 40 years). One year I hope we'll be on board when you are. I think we were a couple of years ago on the Westerdam. I did the Behind the Scenes Tour and Christine Ferris from the HAL office was on the tour as well. I remember saying hi to "John" and, at the time, I didn't connect it to you, but having seen your picture a few times I'm wondering if it was you.

Does it ever bother you that no one ever asks who the Security Officer is going to be? [emoji4]

Hey! I do that every time I ask!

 

Very important position with some of the nicest officers on the ships. There was a really short lady SO on the Rotterdam. I have forgotten her name but she was a gem, so friendly and helpful: it was a pleasure to have her on this 30 day cruise.

It really doesn't ;p Take a look on the back page of the Cruise Log the HK guys (and girls now) put in your stateroom mailbox on the last evening of the cruise :D
