We'll be on the Oosterdam next Saturday!! Getting so excited! Watch for a wave from us...we'll be flying a Seahawks flag off our veranda. 

 

Have you requested a wave from PTZ?

Sorry, that was Zuiderdam. Santa's Elf (a girl from shorex, you can just see her green hat) got a bit "green" during the ride from Zuidy's then Dutch first officer, now staff captain, but she held it together like a trooper!

I have a friend and her family who will be sailing on Celebrity Edge for the first time tomorrow.  She has many HAL cruises under her keel as well as many others on Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, and Chandris (remember them?).  I'm interested in learning what she thinks about this Class of ships.

[Vict0riann]

Hasta mañana.  Thanks, all.

 

And the pilot boat is returning.   All over....

The Judge:  How do you plead to being a  Sail-Away Addict?

 

rkacruiser's response: I plead guilty, your Honor.  And, I don't want to be placed into an intervention or rehabilitation program!

Our very first cruise was on a Chandris ship  (~1990). Hooked us for life!

Their most memorable cruise was a cruise around South America on the Brittanis.  Now, that has been many, many moons ago.  But, they still rank that cruise as one of their favorites.

[Shebba]

I think that was the name of our ship. I would have to look it up to be sure.  It was a beautiful older ship. She had some pretty interesting history.
