It had better not be - I'm using her to go south over the holidays. 😜

OK, while we are waiting for the Elegant Explorer's departure for Freeport, time for a pop quiz; Prinsendam was born as Royal Viking Line's Royal Viking Sun. What were the names of the first three Royal Viking ships?

There always is, Chief - recognition of cruise ship/HAL trivia excellence!

Winner! Too easy for you Roy! Bonus; there was a fifth Royal Viking ship; her name was???

[rafinmd]

Now Black Watch, Boudeccia, and Albatros.  Wikipedia is  my friend.

Sounds like Wikipedia is suffering from lack of funds. Every time I have used they are asking for donations to keep afloat.

They've been doing that for a while now

[Krazy Kruizers]

We need a zoom.

Hope she leaves soon as I am about to leave for some errands.

Speculation time.  I know Captain Jerome comes on board with me and guess he will stay on for the transatlantic.  I'm then guessing Captain Dag will stay until the handover and then retire.  I wonder if HAL will lend Captain Jerome for a transition period with Phoenix Reisen or move him to a new ship.

 

Any other guesses?

Dropping lines.

Schedule shows Captains Robert Schuchmann and Dag Dvergastein as her final two masters with Capt. Schuchmann doing the handover to Phoenix Reisen in July next year

If there are a number of contractors on board. Do they have to do a Muster Drill.

 

Dropping lines.

[rafinmd]

Thanks John.  It isn't often I hear Prinsendam described as a "large passenger vessel".

Actually Roy, Capt. Schuchman goes by the very Dutch first name of Jeroen; my mistake

[Copper10-8]

Away from her berth

[Krazy Kruizers]

She is on the move.

Somebody call Starbucks on 17th Street and wake up the cam dude
