I remember visiting a friend who was sailing on her from New York on an Eclipse Cruise (don't recall the Summer date).  Immediately upon boarding the ship, one could smell the olive oil aroma that the Galley used.  Visiting his shared 4 berth "stateroom" in the forward part of the ship with the smallest bathroom I have ever seen on a ship, I wished him "Bon Voyage".  (Our first cruise was aboard Rotterdam V in an outside, double berth cabin with one of the MDR's on the other side of the corridor walls.  Not the "lap of luxury", but a good deal better than his cabin on the Olympia.)  Returning, he said he enjoyed the cruise, but his main purpose was to experience the Eclipse at sea and photograph it.) 

 

Nice. Thanks for sharing.

Everything and thin crust. Folks can pick off what they don't like  lol

I like the way you think, the problem is I seldom find anything to pick off.  Wait, that may be a good thing.

Ah. I thought he was too young to retire. Happy vacation to him. He has earned it. 

[Krazy Kruizers]

Wishing all the Nieuw Statendam passengers a great cruise.

I agree.  Yet, he must be a very senior HAL Captain.  He was Master of Rotterdam V when I first sailed with him in 1996, I think.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Someone waving.

[fatcat04]

Tootie toot toot!! Woot for NS!!

[travelnap]

Nice Variety of toots from the Nieuw Statendam.  No Oostie but still pretty good.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Lots of all kinds of toots!!

[rkacruiser]

Captain O'Driscoll has done a good job!  Thanks, Captain!

[erewhon]

We saw pink shirts this time.

[Krazy Kruizers]

People are really enjoying a beautiful sail away day.

[aliaschief]

Saw you Rich! Have a great cruise.

[travelnap]

When they did the zoom on the rear of the ship it was through the Palm trees, but I did see a few pink shirts, you just couldn't see who it was.
